Del Potro Outlasts Rafa
Juan Martin Del Potro has the heaviest ground strokes in tennis, and that proved to be too much for Rafael Nadal in Key Biscayne. I just returned from the tournament, it was a great time, and the tennis spirit is truly riding high in Miami (quite possibly the tennis capital of the world). The footage is coming up soon!
