Argentine Champion Looks Awesome in Argyle














Newly minted tennis superstar, Juan Martin del Potro is wearing his US Open victory well. The argyle sweater kind of works for him too.

I happen to love Argyle, and the popular pattern of diagonal diamonds - apparently derived from a Scottish tartan - has a long, strong association with golf. So when I saw the swashbuckling young star chatting with Charlie Rose last night in his blue and gray Argyle, I naturally wondered if the athletic Argentine was a golfer. After all, his countryman, Angel Cabrera is the reigning Masters Champion and one of the best golfers in the world.

Ultimately, my exahustive research quick Google search produced no evidence of golf in Mr. del Potro's past... or present... but that's not to say he doesn't play and such evidence may emerge. And that would be great because it seems Juan Martin del Potro... with his good looks, charming personality and killer tennis game... is well on his way to becoming a household name.

    Tennis fans, get used to that face. Nidal was not 100% physically and Roger did not have his AAA game Monday night, but this kid can flat out pound the ball over the net...

    I'm going to start saving these posts of yours, P, and bring them out when a woman starts getting on men for checking out women. :-)

    You're dead on, Vince. Del Potro is going to be a regular...move over Andy Roddick, you're about to lose your place at the table.

    I don't know if Andy has a place at the table, but he definitely has a place in Brooklyn. ;)

    He's still ranked #6 - but he's not getting any younger or any better.
