Juan Martin del Potro plans to play a reduced claycourt schedule following his recent hardcourt success, but says he has not yet decided where he will be competing.
The Argentine won 15 matches in a row going into the Miami semifinals, capturing back-to-back titles in Acapulco and Indian Wells. Having experienced frequent injuries, the 29-year-old indicated that he would avoid most of the grinding involved during the clay-court season, perhaps playing just a single warmup or none before the French Open.
"I'm not thinking about tennis anymore," Del Potro told press at Miami, where he was topped in straight sets by John Isner. "It was enough, enough.
"I would love to keep playing in this level on the clay-court tournaments, but I don't know when I'm going to start, because I need to [train] even better than hard court. And I want to stay healthy during the whole year. So maybe I quit a few tournaments at the beginning and then be ready for Paris, or maybe a tournament before."
