Juan Martin del Potro’s health is A-OK

Depending on how you look at it, the Madrid Masters told us a lot about what we can expect in Rome this week and then the French Open, which starts on May 22.

“I am recovered, and that is what matters,” Del Potro said in a news conference at Buenos Aires, where he took some days off after playing in Munich and Madrid.

This was contrary to a statement the Rome Masters 1000 tournament issued, which stated Del Potro would not play there because of pain in his left wrist.

But if you’re an American man on European clay, your week has historically ended in after just a day or two.

Each year before the French Open, there are three Masters tournaments on clay before the French Open.

Since 2010, the American men have collectively reached just a single quarterfinal berth at any of these three annual tournaments — John Isner last year in Madrid.

Some Americans have had success on clay: 19-year-old Louisa Chirico made a run to the semifinals in Madrid last week, while Serena Williams has won Rome and Madrid twice each since 2012.

But for American men playing singles — especially beyond Sock and Isner, who skipped Madrid and Rome to rehab his knee, the European clay season can’t end soon enough.

That Chirico has accomplished that task was evident last week in Madrid, where the 19-year-old battled through qualifying and then upset 2008 French Open champ and former world No.

Chirico, who is working with USTA coach Jay Gooding, has yet to win a Grand Slam singles match in three tries, but she’s won three ITF-level singles titles and two in doubles.
