Juan Martin del Potro’s father, Daniel, served as the Argentine’s manager for a large part of his career, taking care of his investments and accounts. He passed away in January 2021.
During a recent panel discussion on America TV, journalists Luis Ventura and Karina Mazzocco discussed del Potro’s financial situation. Mazzocco claimed that del Potro would not have more than “three million dollars” left in his bank account, and alleged that his father, Daniel, “swindled” his own son.
The report also stated that Daniel lost most of the money on bad investments.
Luis Ventura, meanwhile, claimed that del Potro’s father used to “investigate” his son’s ex-girlfriend, Sofia Jimenez, perceiving her as a financial threat who could “steal” from the former US Open champion.
Juan Martin del Potro set to return in February
Juan Martin del Potro fractured his kneecap at the Queen’s Club Championships in 2019 and hasn’t featured on the ATP tour since. Having been sidelined for more than two and a half years, his ranking has dropped to 756.
However, the former US Open champion is expected to make a comeback at the Buenos Aires Open in February. The Argentine could also compete at an ATP 500 tournament in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, which takes place right after the Buenos Aires Open.
The Argentine last won a title in 2018.
