Sucks dude that he has to retire. I really liked his style of play and was sure he was going to win heaps of titles. Anyway he was a great sportsman for Argentina 🇦🇷 and wish the guy all the best.
Yes, he was one of those as I read in a different comment about Wawrinka: somebody who may not be remebered as one of the best ever, but has certainly done enough never to be forgotten. Enjoy your retirement Juan. Hope everything goes well, and I wish you nothing but the very best.
One of the most talented tennis players.22 Career titles, Grand Slam, he could have won the big 3 when they were the best but 2 years of not playing due to injuries and his knee destroyed him. You will always be in our memory Del Potro!
@@kailashpatel1706 Surely he would have become number 1. And he would have won several grand slams. Maybe not as many as the big 3, but he surely would have gotten between them and would have taken several titles from them. In my opinion Delpotro without injuries with that indomitable forehand would have won at least 10 grand slams...
Watching Delpo here, it blows my mind he's only 20 at this time. I didn't know he was so young. His play style is so unique and physically, he looks like a prime, 28 year old male. Crazy. Such a physical specimen. The Delpo forehand in my opinion will be one of the most unique strokes in tennis and one of the hardest to replicate. I don't think anyone will ever be able to hit it like he did...just impeccable timing to be able to hit such a flat shot so well. His timing on the forehand is just about on the level Fed's was...just more flat and even more powerful.
this match is just crazy. federer was in his prime+he was so confident with winning djokovich in semifinals (remember the tweener? probably the greatest tennis shot ever), also you can see his self-esteem in the first two sets. then, del potro started to get these fuckin crazy shots. what a match.
3:22 just check out his level of confidence, he's like "check out mine skills bra me got evritin bra, you've seen that tweener to jkovich the other day bra? yeah you've seen tht. i got dis no worriez"
As an Argentine, I remember seeing this match with my father, it was his first slam, very long-suffering and disputed. A pity that delpo has had to go through so many injuries and stops in his career, he had everything to be number 1 in the ranking at least once, he could have retired but he kept fighting and returned to play a final of us open in 2019, he won The long-awaited 2016 Davis Cup for Argentina, won 1000 masters and got two medals at the London and Rio Olympic Games. Besides that he is a gentleman on and off the court as Roger is too!
I‘m German and since this day a huge Delpo fan. One of the best matches I‘ve ever seen. His forehand.. OMG, love it so much. So sad that his career end is near. Thanks for everything man, you are always in my heart.
Delpo is still one of my favorite players, but its true; he's had more than his fair share of bad luck with injuries since he won the US Open. By January 2010 he got to a career high ranking of 4, then injures his right wrist. He gets surgery which takes well over a year to recover. Then he wins a bronze medal at the Olympics beating Djokovic, a Wimbledon semi the next year, and just when he gets back to 4th in the world he injures his left wrist, which once again needs surgery. I hope after numerous operations that this time he can fully recover and start competing again like he did in 2009.
This game was a nail-biter that I fondly remember, rooting for JM at the time. I really thought he was the next big thing, and still believe he could have been if it was not for the injuries. Nevertheless, he got that one at a time when Nadal and Federer were at their peak, defeating both back to back.
fed has a good forehand but not better than delpo's... last year del potro was silver medalist and won cilic and murray to win the davis cup with NO backhand.. pure forehand
potro is taller. he can flatten it as he has more of a margin than most players, than Federer. that he flattens it, gives him the edge over all the tall players who did not figured that one out and their pathetic coaches who like to play it safe. they both have the forehands that they can physiologically hit, IMHO. Should be an interesting match.
He would have won slams definitely but he was no where close to the likes of Federer, Nadal and Novak. In the same year Federer defeated Del Potro 6-3 6-0 6-0 at AO
@@rahulfederer20 No one knows what could have been if he didn't have so many injuries. But considering he beat Nadal and Fed at US Open when he was 20, shows that he was capable of great things. Likely could have been the fourth part of the big 4, where he'd place on that ladder no one knows
Became a fan of Del Potro after watching him in this year's Olympics. He defeated Djokovic and Nadal, now going into the finals match against Murray. Huge player 👍
man this is my all time favorite match, i remember watching this live and ended up rooting for delpo even tho im a federer fan, he's probably the biggest waht if of this era, i dont think delpo ever return to this level of tennis in 2009 after his wrists decide to give out
Gracias, Delpo. Los jóvenes que fuimos niños cuando ganabas estos torneos no vamos a olvidarte nunca, ni nuestros papás. El mejor tenista de argentina y mi favorito de la historia. Te queremos todos
It'll be interesting to see what Federer says about this match in his autobiography. There's no question that this loss was a turning point in his career. I think it really rattled his own confidence and gave confidence to Nadal, Djokovic, and Murray to see a 20 y/o break him down in the fifth set like that. I wonder if this will haunt him the way McEnroe was (and still is) after losing the 1984 French Open to Lendl.
It's a terrible tough loss but nowhere near as bad as McEnroe's FO loss to Lendl. Federer did not even seem to care he lost this match. But i think he should have won this and AO 09.
Actually he did care that he lost this match, i believe he said afterwards this one bothered him for a while! This much, that he couldn't get his act together in the 2009 off season in which he played rather poorly!
Nadal was confident against Federer way before this match, at the time of this match, Nadal has defeated Federer in the last 3 slam finals they met on every surface, he was handling him just fine.
As a Federer fan, looking back at his career, in my opinion beside 2008 wimbledon, this was the biggest heartbreak lost for him in GS finals. This was in his hand, just never should have lost that. But big up for Delpo, he was fantastic that he could turn it around.
@@aleksamilosevic8792 Why Federer vs Nadal H2H on grass should be 2:1 with Nadal's lead? Federer won 06 07 Final without controversy and 08 was very close match. RATHER, If Federer had no mono virus in 2008, he could win the match so 3:0 with Roger's lead is more desirable result.
I'm a big Fed fan, but was so pleased for Del Potro who comes across as one of the nicest guys on the tour, it's just a pity that a career plagued by injury prevented him adding more titles to his name.
@@ifeanyiikpegbu6465 give way to the excuse ambulance!!! Novak beat Federer in 2008 AO SF , mono excuse ..fast forward 2009 US Open F still affected by mono... bloody hell can't you see the pattern?? Roger could not hold his serve in big moments!! he is a CHOKE!!! 2004-2007 there's no real competition at that time, garbage left overs of Sampras and an old Agassi in his last leg, no wonder your poster boy harvested his 12 slams in that era but when Nadal ,novak and Andy comes of age party was over for roger. .. fyi ..Delpo is 4-2 in Finals vs Roger.
Me acuerdo que tenia 21 años y la vi completa aquella final que partidazo jugaron, Del Potro jugo el mejor partido de su historia, grande Delpo ojala hoy se te de devuelta!!!
Back then I sooo wanted Fed to win.. but looking back now I am so happy that Delpo got that 1 slam before injuries fucked him over. If I can decide, Rafa takes his Decima, Fed beats Sampras record with his 8th Wimbledon and Delpo gets another US OPEN!!!! YEAHH!!! GO DELPO!!!
When all the members of “Big Three” were in semis of a grand slam but the 4th guy manage to win the whole thing ! Not happens every time 🥵 What a leg💯 del potro
Their is no big 3 in 2009 Their was Big 2 in 2009 actually. Their is big 3(2011 to 2022) Djokovic was world ranking no 3 but still he was not in Big 3 as he didn't win any major title in 2009 and 2010
Federer started dominating 2 Surfaces(Hard and Grass)in 2003 to 2007. Nadal was dominanting 1 surface in 2005 to 2007 which is French open. Nadal is clay court player first who adapted to grass quickly in his prime reached Wimbledon finals(2006 and 2007) played against Peak Federer at Wimbledon and lost.
Can't believe Fed had 5 US Open wins in a row and then didn't win it ever again anymore. Federer beat Hewitt, Old Agassi, Roddick, Young Djokovic and Young Murray in the US Open finals that he did win. Then Delpo beat him here, Djoko beat him in the SF in 2010 and 2011 while Fed had MP's in both matches.
Nadal and Federer never met in US Open semi finals or finals also for 20 years. I think they will never meet some player will come stop Nadal or Federer actually Djokovic stopped Federer twice reaching finals to play against Nadal in Finals.
Como me acuerdo ver ese partidaso de tenis más de 4 horas , un Del Potro que lo dio todo ese día , ante su majestad El gran Roger Federer , un gran exhibición👌🏻
The slam that got away :( What were you thinking RF, going to his forehand so often! Definitely a turning point in his career. Probably the only slam final he lost where he was the heavy favorite.
+ctmcarlo Honestly I think Federer is the heavy favourite in all Wimbledon and US Open finals. Look at the 2015 US Open final and the 2014 and 2015 Wimbledons, he was the heavy favourite compared to Djokovic and had the crowd behind him but ended up losing.
+Eljay Shaun I don't think so. djokovic is at his best now while federer is not anymore. he's still very good, but in tennis you can't do much against aging.
Nep Tis Yep, Federer is obviously not as good as he used to be due to old age, but I think he is still the most loved and the "crowd favourite" in Grand Slams, with the possible exception of Roland Garros. He may not be playing the best, but I think he is the most admired out of all the current players because of his talent and flair and the legacy he's left behind. One can only hope he retires later than sooner.
With only 20 years, he won a Grand Slam title beating Nadal in semis and Federer on the final. He won a GS before Murray, Cilic or Wawrinka... what a pitty Del Potro had so many injuries... Real hero for argentineans
Primera ves que veo el resumen de esta final y creo que lo que hizo Delpotro fue un Milagro, ganarle a Federer en su mejor momento, se le dio el partido perfecto ganado esos dos tie break
todo un maestro del potro, porque es unos de los tenistas mas altos, una persona que se dedica al tenis teniendo esa estatura es dificil moverse en la cancha, pero si sos audaz tiene las mejores ventajas... como se puede apreciar cuando juega novak, delpo etc...
Lastimosamente Del potro se tuvo que retirar siendo joven y teniendo aun mucho juego en su raqueta, es de los que pudo haberles arrebatado algunos torneos GS's al big 3. Con todo y eso no se le quita nada que era un gran jugador... saludos de México
Delpo magnificent... Roger, so, so close to the 18th.... Such wonderful players. Sad for Roger, my Number 1 player forever, but so happy for Delpo. And both clearly thrilled at the end.
I love that Juan Martin had no fear he was pumping his fists in Federer face. He was not scared of Federer. At the time in 2009 Federer was number one guys were scared of his aura but NOT Del Potro. This was the beginning of the end for Federer.
I love Juan Martin, but he was never been able to reproduce such performances and given his injuries and age now he probably never will. As for the beginning of the end for Fed ... well ... has won another 2 Slams, 2 WTF, some 9 Masters and a number of other titles ever since :)
George Mavrides Del potro reached the Olympics final knocking out Djokovic and Nadal so what are you talking about? Unlike Andy Murray at the Olympics Del potro had a tough draw.
After making djoker cry to a straight set loss and retiring nadal for the year, he beat andy and cilic in the decisive matches to win the davis cup. All while only being able to push his backhand after practically 3-4 years out of competition. Can you possibly do better than that?
2017 !! Del potro "la torre de tandil " volvio a vencer a su majestad roger Federer en Us open ..vamos Delpo que este us open lo volvemos a ganar vamos Argentia carajo !!
Beautiful players to watch, the both of them. God, I wish Delpo had managed to avoid injury. In 2009 he came out of nowhere, QFs in Aus Open, SFs in French (and very nearly denied Federer his one and only French Open, go look up the match, it was close, and he'd probably have beaten Soderling in the final just as easily as Federer did), then beat Nadal and Federer back to back to win the US. Suddenly it wasn't just Djokovic, there were *two* new grand-slam contenders to shake up the Federer/Nadal domination. There's no telling how good he could have gotten. Then the injuries. But every time he comes back, within a few months he's in quarters, semis and even another US Open final, and then the injuries hit again. It's amazing that he's still competitive with the top guys when he's fit. Not many players make two successful career comebacks. Here's hoping for a third.
It makes me so upset seeing how good he was and how much better he could've been without the injuries. But I think we should all be grateful that he's at least won a grand slam and a 1000 masters. He's achieved already enough with those two.
I love both Roger and delpo! Delpo is gentle giant who has the fastest forehand who still manages to float from one part of court to other. He is terrific and more important kind and light hearted! 10:31 love the reaction from delpo. Wished that we could have seen him more in the slams. Generally I am a big fan of Roger’s outfits, and nice in this one too, delpo looks sharp in black with yellow headband.
la derecha de Delpo sin duda es la mas rasante y fuerte del circuito, ademas la pelota de lo rasante apenas da bote, no importa el rival quien sea devolverla es muy dificil.
What a memory by re watching this game after Delpo retired. I followed this guy as much as I could and named my third child Juan Martin!!!! After shouting vamos Delpo!!! A million times during his games. I really learnt to love this guy for what he made me feel when playing, more than any other i saw. I'll miss not watching him anymore. On the other side there is a sad story around him cause after winning so much things, getting contracts with lot of sponsors and winning lot of money playing excellent tennis, he is now bankrupt due to the bad business his father did, who died last year and moved all debts to Juan Martin. This is the sad part i hate......
Que partido más inolvidable ,lo veo mil veces y no me canso ,x su majestad , Federer,y x el Martin , 💖 que le jugó de igual a igual ,felicitaciones x tan lindo espectáculo 😍😍💖
"He was the only man outside the Big Three (Novak Djokovic, Federer, and Nadal) to win a major between the 2005 French Open and the 2012 US Open, a span of 30 tournaments."

Fed was 2 points away from winning 2009 in the fourth set. This was just another match he could've won.
Nadal and Federer never met in US Open semi finals or finals also for 20 years.
I think they will never meet some player will come stop Nadal or Federer actually
Djokovic stopped Federer twice reaching finals to play against Nadal in Finals.
Como me acuerdo ver ese partidaso de tenis más de 4 horas , un Del Potro que lo dio todo ese día , ante su majestad El gran Roger Federer , un gran exhibición👌🏻
More highlights in this match than in Murray's career
Okay...
lol
ahahhaha
what?
A bit unnecessary, but I still chuckled xD
Increíble Del Potro, gracias por regalarnos está final. Simplemente gracias.
puede ser q ahi tenia 20 años?
The Hammer of THOR !!!!! 🇦🇷❤️
What a match; Del Potro before injuries had a tremendous backhand as well...I miss him on tour
Por favor, miren lo que era el revés a dos manos de Delpo... Que vuelva!!
Gian Y volvió y ganó la copa davis
Delpo is such a gentlemen , my fav player after federer.
Quarterfinals and especially this match were so incredibly well played by delpo that i just cried
Its too bad Fed lost when he wore his best outfit
No he wore his best outfit in 2013 when he got revenge against Del Potro
2weakkickflip No 2009 US open was the best costume Fed wore ever.
revenzo3
he was dressed in his best and prepared to go down as a gentleman, like that guggenheim guy from the titanic.
2017 AO best outfit.
nah i reckon the 2007 version was better, complete black set. He looked like a fucking assassin
The slam that got away :( What were you thinking RF, going to his forehand so often! Definitely a turning point in his career. Probably the only slam final he lost where he was the heavy favorite.
+ctmcarlo federer wanted to test if he can win a forehand dogfight against delpotro and he got the answer!
+ctmcarlo Honestly I think Federer is the heavy favourite in all Wimbledon and US Open finals. Look at the 2015 US Open final and the 2014 and 2015 Wimbledons, he was the heavy favourite compared to Djokovic and had the crowd behind him but ended up losing.
+Eljay Shaun I don't think so. djokovic is at his best now while federer is not anymore. he's still very good, but in tennis you can't do much against aging.
Nep Tis Yep, Federer is obviously not as good as he used to be due to old age, but I think he is still the most loved and the "crowd favourite" in Grand Slams, with the possible exception of Roland Garros. He may not be playing the best, but I think he is the most admired out of all the current players because of his talent and flair and the legacy he's left behind. One can only hope he retires later than sooner.
Eljay Shaun nah he's not as good as he used to be... he's even better
With only 20 years, he won a Grand Slam title beating Nadal in semis and Federer on the final. He won a GS before Murray, Cilic or Wawrinka... what a pitty Del Potro had so many injuries... Real hero for argentineans
Came back after the news of Delpos retirement. He really could have been one to disrupt the top 4 if not for injuries. such a nice guy too.
Primera ves que veo el resumen de esta final y creo que lo que hizo Delpotro fue un Milagro, ganarle a Federer en su mejor momento, se le dio el partido perfecto ganado esos dos tie break
As fiercely unrelenting as he was talented, we will miss his class on the court. Hats off to you Juan, your work will not be forgotten 👏
That forehand will be missed forever.
7:39 what the actual fuck is that speed
Just passing through on my journey to watch every Federer match.
todo un maestro del potro, porque es unos de los tenistas mas altos, una persona que se dedica al tenis teniendo esa estatura es dificil moverse en la cancha, pero si sos audaz tiene las mejores ventajas... como se puede apreciar cuando juega novak, delpo etc...
Lastimosamente Del potro se tuvo que retirar siendo joven y teniendo aun mucho juego en su raqueta, es de los que pudo haberles arrebatado algunos torneos GS's al big 3. Con todo y eso no se le quita nada que era un gran jugador... saludos de México
Never should have lost that match... all in his hands.
Tennis is really great. Really liked it. :)
te extrañamos mucho delpo 😢
14:27 un tipo gritando en la pregunta: "Dale Delpo que no da más, vamooo" jajajajajajjajaj
Delpo magnificent... Roger, so, so close to the 18th.... Such wonderful players. Sad for Roger, my Number 1 player forever, but so happy for Delpo. And both clearly thrilled at the end.
let's see this Sunday... He got another chance fight in the final. Hope he doesn't miss this chance....
he didnt
Delpo k corazón bien argentino k tenés muchas felicidades campeonato mmm 💪💪💪💪💪
Biggest upset in Federer’s career, del Potro should be proud. Enjoy retirement, he was my second favorite player, best forehand ever.
I love that Juan Martin had no fear he was pumping his fists in Federer face. He was not scared of Federer. At the time in 2009 Federer was number one guys were scared of his aura but NOT Del Potro. This was the beginning of the end for Federer.
I love Juan Martin, but he was never been able to reproduce such performances and given his injuries and age now he probably never will. As for the beginning of the end for Fed ... well ... has won another 2 Slams, 2 WTF, some 9 Masters and a number of other titles ever since :)
George Mavrides Del potro reached the Olympics final knocking out Djokovic and Nadal so what are you talking about? Unlike Andy Murray at the Olympics Del potro had a tough draw.
+Andrew Simpson there is no end to fed stfu
After making djoker cry to a straight set loss and retiring nadal for the year, he beat andy and cilic in the decisive matches to win the davis cup. All while only being able to push his backhand after practically 3-4 years out of competition. Can you possibly do better than that?
2017 ao champion, kappa to you sir.
Juan came back, after losing the first set, and greatly improved his game- (hitting impossible shots, from all over the court). Amazing!
Always remember, when Roger wants to talk, he talks.
Del Potro ❤️,todo un campeón!!! His forehand is made of 🔥
2017 !! Del potro "la torre de tandil " volvio a vencer a su majestad roger Federer en Us open ..vamos Delpo que este us open lo volvemos a ganar vamos Argentia carajo !!
Beautiful players to watch, the both of them. God, I wish Delpo had managed to avoid injury. In 2009 he came out of nowhere, QFs in Aus Open, SFs in French (and very nearly denied Federer his one and only French Open, go look up the match, it was close, and he'd probably have beaten Soderling in the final just as easily as Federer did), then beat Nadal and Federer back to back to win the US. Suddenly it wasn't just Djokovic, there were *two* new grand-slam contenders to shake up the Federer/Nadal domination. There's no telling how good he could have gotten. Then the injuries. But every time he comes back, within a few months he's in quarters, semis and even another US Open final, and then the injuries hit again. It's amazing that he's still competitive with the top guys when he's fit. Not many players make two successful career comebacks. Here's hoping for a third.
It makes me so upset seeing how good he was and how much better he could've been without the injuries. But I think we should all be grateful that he's at least won a grand slam and a 1000 masters. He's achieved already enough with those two.
And he has that Olympic silver medal
Grande
@@mrb4761 He's planning on coming back for the Tokyo Olympics so lets hope he can win that. Then he has all he needs in this sport
I love both Roger and delpo! Delpo is gentle giant who has the fastest forehand who still manages to float from one part of court to other. He is terrific and more important kind and light hearted!
10:31 love the reaction from delpo. Wished that we could have seen him more in the slams. Generally I am a big fan of Roger’s outfits, and nice in this one too, delpo looks sharp in black with yellow headband.
Ojala vuelvas te mereces un grande mas
la derecha de Delpo sin duda es la mas rasante y fuerte del circuito, ademas la pelota de lo rasante apenas da bote, no importa el rival quien sea devolverla es muy dificil.
Fantastic match. Congrats Delpo 👏🏆❤️
Great players, legends for sure. Awesome game.
What a memory by re watching this game after Delpo retired. I followed this guy as much as I could and named my third child Juan Martin!!!! After shouting vamos Delpo!!! A million times during his games. I really learnt to love this guy for what he made me feel when playing, more than any other i saw. I'll miss not watching him anymore. On the other side there is a sad story around him cause after winning so much things, getting contracts with lot of sponsors and winning lot of money playing excellent tennis, he is now bankrupt due to the bad business his father did, who died last year and moved all debts to Juan Martin. This is the sad part i hate......
@9:15 high-five by potro he's a gem!
Flawless federer at its peak, But still it's potro's outrageous tennis!
Absurd, marvellous match from Delpo... RF had a bad luck that day, I think... that challenge in 2nd set... Made huge difference in that match!
hoy los dos estan retirados, que duro es el paso del tiempo
One of the biggest shockers ever.
I miss that Delpo :(
Maybe its back!
Oh yes he is!
Best comeback vs thiem in the round of 16 by del potro!!!
He won Indian Wells vs Federer!!!!
Maybe he could won again us open this week. 🙂
So happy for Delpo that he won this match - those cannon forehands in the 4th and 5th sets :)
Delpo... how i loved this man !!!! with Roger they are my two favorite players ever !!!!!
Que partido más inolvidable ,lo veo mil veces y no me canso ,x su majestad , Federer,y x el Martin , 💖 que le jugó de igual a igual ,felicitaciones x tan lindo espectáculo 😍😍💖
"He was the only man outside the Big Three (Novak Djokovic, Federer, and Nadal) to win a major between the 2005 French Open and the 2012 US Open, a span of 30 tournaments."
Genios de los genios Del Potro !!!! Aguante Argentina !!!!
Fed: *runs around the backhand to hit a forehand to Delpo's forehand side
Delpo's right arm: "You have fucked up"
Esta victoria de del potro fue tremenda. Le cortó a Federer una racha de 5 US open consecutivos. Desde entonces Federer nunca mas gano allí
Juah bien hecho!grande Juan Martin !!
Que grande del po aplicando la tecnica que no falla, pergarle mas fuerte que el otro. Pura estrstegia
Del Potro = Best Forehand ever; Wawrinka = Best Backhand ever.
Del potro bateu forte demais na bolinha essa semana aí, tá louco…
Too bad delpo couldnt stay healthy. An unbelievable talent
que reves que tenias juan lpm
ここで勝ったのは本当に凄い・・
確かフェデラーも連覇中の時だったはず
The whip on DelPotro's forehand is awesome. 🎾
