London: Juan Martin del Potro admitted he felt alive again after theinjury-plagued former US Open champion sent Swiss fourth seed Stan Wawrinka crashing out of Wimbledon on Friday.
On a day when rain caused a four-hour delay on the outside courts, forcing organisers to consider playing on the middle Sunday for the first time since 2004, the giant Del Potro shone beneath the Centre Court roof.
His 3-6, 6-3, 7-6 (7/2), 6-3 second round victory over Wawrinka brought back memories of his stunning US Open win in 2009 before a series of wrist injuries pushed him to the brink of retirement.
