Juan Martin del Potro d. Roger Federer – 2009 Finals
This match in addition to being one of the 5 best finals of the U.S. Open was also a huge upset. The virtually unbeatable Roger Federer up against the virtually unknown commodity, Argentinian Juan Martin del Potro.
Federer, who was looking to cap off the year with his 3rd successive grand slam title amazingly faltered, even after winning the first set. Following an action-filled 4 hour of compelling tennis, Del Potro became only the second Argentinian to win the U.S. Open after Guillermo Vilas in 1977.
In years to come, people will remeber this as the ‘Hawk-Eye Final’ as the occasion when the video technology got to Federer, which seemingly affected his poise during the match. Things fell apart slowly when del Potro miraculously lifted his game and took the next three sets. He had pulled of an incredible victory, ending Federer’s run of 5 consecutive U.S. Open titles. This undoubtedly ranks among one of the 5 best finals of the U.S. Open
