SYDNEY (AP) U.S. Open winner Juan Martin Del Potro of Argentina will make his comeback from a 12-month injury layoff at the Sydney International in January after being handed a wild card into the tournament.
Del Potro has been out of action since last year's Australian Open with a wrist injury, dropping from 4 to 259 on the men's world rankings. The wild card will allow him to join a field for the Jan. 9-15 tournament which includes Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis and American Sam Querrey.
Organizers confirmed Wednesday that seven of the world's top 10 women will take part in the Australian Open warm-up event at Sydney Olympic Park.
