The men's tournament at the 2018 US Open taught us more about life than just tennis. It taught us what genuine friendships look like and also how tennis players should honor and treat their friends when they are playing each other.
Juan Martin del Potro's friends were a living (and shouting) example of what true friendship is all about. These 12 fine young men stuck with Juan Martin through all of his surgeries and the difficult times of recovery and not being able to play on the tour. They all paid their own way to the Open and were there cheering their hearts out for the entire tournament. That's what friendship means!
In the life of a professional athlete, in any sport, times of rehab can be the most lonely and devastating times in their lives. These friends made sure Juan Martin didn't have to go it alone...
Another special time during the finals match was at the conclusion when Juan Martin and Novac met at the net. These two are good friends--and it showed. Thanks to both of them for showing us what friendship really means...
