VIDEO: Juan Martin del Potro hates his shoes

After losing a initial set to Olivier Rochus at Wimbledon yesterday, Juan Martin del Potro was frustrated. Actually, you could go far as observant he was officious angry at a way he played. So, he did what any normal tennis player in that situation would do. When fool around was suspended because of darkness, he took off his boots as well as wildly threw them in to a crowd. One shoe even made a way outward of a stadium to adoring fans.

Hooray for smelly sports memorabilia!

I wonder if this trend will catch on. Over a years, weve seen a number of athletes toss their jerseys in to a throng after games. Some may even toss wristbands, sweatbands, or alternative clothing. But boots might be a total different story, generally if soccer/football cleats come in to play. And dare I say, a dreaded steel track cleat. Thatd make for an interesting representation as well as catch.
