Who will make the better comeback, Del Potro after 4 wrist surgeries or Soderling who is hopefully back next year, almost 5 years off tour but otherwise injury free?

Soderling had a second child recently, he''ll never come back IMO. He seems happy as a retired daddy

Speaking of whom, Soderling is a character. The good kind of "bad boy." I don't mind his antics at all. But yeah, he's never coming back.

I saw pictures of him practicing on the courts last week on Twitter. I'll post it if I come across it again.

His Facebook page was updated earlier today, with this message:

"Hi! Here's a summary of the last month I spent doing rehab and training to come back to tennis."

Followed by a link to this:

Thanks, Tented.

That's good news, I would guess. The guy sounds very optimistic.

It's a long road back, but even if he makes it at any level, he'd be the most welcome sight in tennis... :clap

That would be really great, I missed him for so long.

Yes, that would be great. But, I will believe it only if I see it happening with my own eyes (and then only if he could continue to play for three months, before declaring that he is back in the circuit).

Likewise. I hope he comes back strong but have a feeling it won't be long till things go pear shaped again. The dream scenario is Del Potro back at full fitness and Soderling back in time for summer/autumn, which I'm not ruling out, given it's what Le Sod is hoping for himself.

He is really missed. Great asset to the tour. Love the fact he is updating fans on progress and being very open and forthcoming about his issues.

Very good to hear! He could be the guy to mix up things (yeah, I know...).

Given how hard he'll hard to work to get his ranking back to a decent level I hope he's healed up enough to put in the hours. Have a bad feeling things won't be right at all though but hope I'm wrong. This guy had been incredibly unlucky and it'd be great to have him back and able to challenge the top players by the end of the year.

Well, we know when he's healthy, he certainly can be the guy to mix up things. As Front says, he's been unlucky in epic proportions, but I hope this time JMDP can make a healthy, successful comeback.
