Thompson prepares for Del Potro battle
Wounded del Potro awaits Aussie Thompson By Murray Wenzel in PARIS Jordan Thompson of Australia News Value: 2 Words: 389 Source: AAP // 1 previous versions A vulnerable Juan Martin del Potro is next on giant slayer Jordan Thompson's list as the Australian enters new grand slam territory. Thompson, the last Australian man standing in the French Open, will play the eighth-seeded Argentinian in Saturday's third round. A win would make him the first Australian male into the last 16 since Lleyton Hewitt, who did it for the fifth and final time of his career in 2007. Former US Open winner del Potro was a semi-finalist in Paris last year and his forehand remains one of the biggest weapons in tennis. But the 30-year-old is wounded, scraping through a five-set battle in the second round despite repeated visits from the trainer and heavy strapping on his knee. The tour favourite broke his kneecap last year and missed the Australian Open as a result, while del Potro has also reported hip soreness at Roland Garros this week and spent a career battling wrist injuries. Del Potro conceded all that was on his mind as he picked and chose his moments to chase Japanese opponent Yoshihito Nishioka's best efforts in the energy-sapping win.
