Lovely tribute. And not to be a bummer here, but rather than just add it to the ATP general news, has anyone else read that JMDP is basically bankrupt? The allegation is that, when his dad died a couple of years ago, it became apparent that he had mismanaged Juan Martín's funds, and also gotten himself into terrible debt, which JMDP is trying to extract himself from. Just saying...to add insolvency to endless injury. The allegations about his father are just that, but it seems that the notion that he is left with almost no money are true. Can he never catch a break?

Yes I read that his father bankrupted him, true or not...maybe one of the reasons that he tried to make a comeback....not the first time a parent bankrupted their children? Steffi Graff for example.
