He even asked Novak Djokovic if he could attend that exhibition match, which is slated to be played on Sunday, December 1 at the Mary Terán de Weiss Stadium in Buenos Aires. Interestingly, Djokovic didn’t waste any time to give a nod about his presence at ‘The Last Challenge’. Fans have now come out in numbers to praise the Serb for his beautiful gesture towards one of his fiercest rivals.

I want to play my last match in Argentina and I want you to come.” After hearing this, the 24-time Grand Slam champion said, “Are you kidding me? Obviously, I’m coming. For you, in Argentina, of course.”

So, we can say that tennis fans in Argentina are set for an early Christmas present, and all the credit for this goes to their tennis star, Juan Martín del Potro.
The 35-year-old had previously announced plans for a farewell match at the 2023 US Open, but it had to be eventually canceled due to his lingering knee injury. He had struggled quite a lot with his fitness issues during the later stages of his career. He had to undergo quite a few surgeries in the last few years. However, despite all these struggles, his contributions to the racquet sport in Argentina are enormous.
