Lionel Messi may be winning all sorts of awards on offer in the football world, but the soccer ace is no match for Juan Martin Del Potro.
The 2009 US Open champion pipped Barcelona's Lionel Messi to the annual Argentina's athlete of the year award.
Messi, who has won Copa del Rey, La Liga, Champions League, Spanish Supercup, European Supercup, Club World Cup, Ballon d'Or, and the FIFA World Player of the Year, will wonder what he has to do to impress his home country, however the snub from the people of Argentina is not surprising as Messi's performance for the Argentina National team has been underwhelming as of late.
Del Potro, who won his first Grand Slam title at Flushing Meadows this year, reached the semi finals of the ATP tour final in London last month and he will no doubt be over the moon with the support he has received from his home fans.
