Del Potro pulls out of Australian Open

Juan Martin del Potro's injury time-off from grand slam tournaments just got a little longer.

The 2009 US Open winner withdrew yesterday from the Australian Open on the eve of the tournament to avoid re-injuring a surgically-repaired wrist that he said had been hurting him for the "last couple days and weeks."

"Nothing new. Nothing dangerous. But I think my wrist is not ready for playing in this important tournament," Del Potro said. "It was a tough decision but could be a smart decision if I want to stay healthy and play for the whole year."

Del Potro made it the quarterfinals of the Sydney International last week, his first tournament after 11 months off the tour. "I really enjoyed playing tennis again last week in Sydney, winning a couple matches. I didn't expect that for sure," said Del Potro.
