Del Potro Gets Top Billing at ATP Japan Open

Oct. 4 -- Argentine Juan Martin del Potro, ranked fifth in the world, tops the bill in a depleted field at the Japan Open tournament which gets underway on tomorrow.

Del Potro came to Tokyo last year as a hot favorite, but finished in the final as a runner-up to Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic. This year, he returns as a Grand Slam champion after defeating world number one Roger Federer in five sets at Flushing Meadow last month.

Federer withdrew from the tournament, citing back and knee problems. Also out is Japanese teenage sensation Kei Nishikori due to a right elbow injury and Britain's Andy Murray with a wrist injury.

Del Potro has been drawn in the same half of the field as defending champion Berdych, seeded five, the 2003 Japan champion Rainer Schuettler of Germany, and third seed Gilles Simon of France.

Roger Federer DVDs carries complete match DVDs, such as his historic win in the 2009 Wimbledon tournament, in which he broke the record for most Grand Slam victories, or his classic win over Rafael Nadal in 2007, as well as many other major titles.
