Juan Martin Del Potro Still Looking For Win

Juan Martin Del Potro's return to the ATP Tour is still without a win as he fell to Feliciano Lopez in straight sets.

Del Potro returned to action last week in Bangkok after being out of action since the Australian Open due to a wrist injury.

The Argentinean fell in the opening round of the Thailand Open and history repeated itself in Tokyo as he won just three games against Spaniard, Feliciano Lopez.

While Del Potro did put up a fight in the opening set it was one way traffic in the second and Lopez took sixteen points in a row at the beginning of the second to seal an impressive 6-3 6-0 win.

And speaking after the match Del Potro realises that there are things that he needs to work on. Speaking to The Times of India he said: "It's difficult to come back to play against these kind of players.

"A lot of them are very good, especially Feliciano on this (fast) surface. But I'm glad to come back.

"I need more time to improve again to play at the same level that I did last year, but it's very difficult. But a good thing is it's getting better. Today, I played sometimes good tennis, sometimes bad."

Lopez will now face either Guillermo Garcia- Lopez or Rajeev Ram for a spot in the third round.
