Juan Martin: Novak Djokovic paid an emotional tribute to Argentinian tennis great Juan Martin del Potro after their farewell exhibition match, calling him a "special player and a special person" whose greatest legacy goes beyond his achievements on the court.

The exhibition match, which del Potro won 6-4, 7-5, culminated in a heartfelt moment. On match point, Djokovic intentionally allowed del Potro to unleash his trademark forehand for the winner, a gesture of ultimate respect.

"I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love Juan Martín. His greatest victory in life is that he’s a wonderful person.”
