Before the US Open, Juan Martin del Potro was 47th in the Emirates ATP Race To London. At the time, it would have taken a far-fetched dream to envision the 29-year-old qualifying for a fourth Nitto ATP Finals. Yet after finishing runner-up to eight-time champion Roger Federer, 7-6(5), 4-6, 3-6, in his attempt to claim a third Swiss Indoors Basel title, the surging Argentine can stop dreaming about visiting The O2 in London from 12-19 November.
