Juan Martin Del Potro’s long journey on the comeback trail is going even better than expected.

After the Australian Open, where he was defeated in the second round, he has reached the semifinals of San Jose, the Regions Morgan Keegan Championships and Indian Wells, while picking up a title in between at Delray Beach.

Fans and fellow tennis players alike were all happy for the soft-spoken Argentinean. After a long year out on the sidelines nursing a wrist injury, he is finally back playing with the big boys, where he is suppose to be.

When he got injured, his talent and presence among the elite was sorely missed. Although Novak Djokovic is applying the spice at the moment, it is the Tandil native which shook the tennis world when beating both Nadal then Federer to win his first major at the 2009 US Open.

The 22-year-old Del Potro is 1.98 m (6'6'') and has a very powerful, heavy game. Comparing his game directly to Federer’s, you would not say that it is exactly elegant or pretty; however, it is hugely effective.

Everyone is now witnessing the Argentinean's game again: His huge serve, flat strokes and unbelievable forehand were missed, but now that these dominant shots are back on the tennis court causing havoc, are people still rejoicing in his comeback?

What will happen if all goes well with the Argentine and he starts dominating the tour with a heavy-hitting, brutal game that seemed unfashionable just one decade ago.

After having nearly a decade of Swiss excellence and Spanish brilliance, Del Potro’s game will seem like a gang of misdemeanors trying to vandalize the most sacred court of Wimbledon. If the Argentine gets going, he can become literally unstoppable. It actually gets to a point where you feel sorry for his opponent.

And what if this opponent happens to be Rafael Nadal or Roger Federer? My gut feeling says that many fans will not bare to watch...
