At Wimbledon, Del Potro defeated Peter Gojowczyk, Feliciano Lopez and Benoit Paire in straight sets to set up a round of 16 clash with Gilles Simon. He went on to beat Simon in 4 sets over two days and in nearly 4 and a half hours to set up another meeting with World No. 1 Rafael Nadal, who defeated him in 5 sets. Del Potro then competed at the Los Cabos Open, where he reached the final but lost to Fabio Fognini.
