Atentie la gara de nord...din Paris! Del Potro Robbed Of Most Prized Possession A US Open trophy and an Olympic bronze medal are among the possessions Juan Martin del Potro owns, but on Saturday in Paris, the Argentine was robbed of the item he values most. Ready to set off to London for the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, del Potro was checking in at the Gare du Nord train station, where he was stopped for an autograph. Happy to oblige the request, del Potro suddenly became the victim of a crime when his briefcase was stolen. While his passport and money were among the belongings taken, his Rosary that was blessed by Pope Francis in Rome this year was also in the briefcase. “My Rosary blessed by Pope Francis, I carried everywhere. Thats what matters most to me,” said del Potro. “I was finishing the check-in and was asked for an autograph. I turned around to sign it and within 20 seconds, it was stolen.” Del Potro arrived safely in London. He was drawn into Group B, with defending champion Novak Djokovic, six-time titlist Roger Federer and Richard Gasquet.
