"Winning in New York last year has been my major accomplishment in tennis and my best memory so far. I am so sorry for my fans, my sponsors and all the people that care about me, but I have only started practicing in the last two weeks and unfortunately I cannot compete at the top level yet. I look forward to returning to New York in 2011."
The 21-year-old played in the year's first grand slam at the Australian Open, eventually bowing out to Marin Cilic in the fourth round. It was del Potro's only appearance on tour this year, as he underwent surgery on his right wrist May 4 at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
