Delpo in his prime was a great player. Injuries ruined him.
yes, unfortunately.Such a great person.
And murray
Well he was no. 3 just three years back.
@@shobhitkukreti with 0 backhand (3 years ago). JMDP 2009 and late 2013 was a different beast.
Injuries aren't just fate. They greatly depend on how you behave on and off the court: practice, technique, diet, physiotherapy etc. Therefore injuries are a sign of weaknesses in on ore more areas. Agree?
I can't believe this happened 11 years ago. Time flies!!
I know right? Perfect way to pass quarantine with some nostalgia
Strange, time slows down for me.
@juneaug Lok why sad, Nadal deserved it and in 2021 he will surpass Federer to win record 21 grand slams and he will be at the top of the mountain
True! 11 years ago I was only 4 years old!
12 years.
forehands at 1:55:17 , 1:55:53 , 2:07:50 , 2:10:03 , 2:16:01 , 2:18:25 , 2:33:27 , 2:37:08 , 2:44:45 and 2:53:46 are insaaaaane
Thanks...
Nice
Youre a legend for getting all the timestamps lol
Is 2:44:45 a typo? There’s no forehand there :)
most of those FHs were hit at the right time.
I was gutted when this happened, but I have a big soft spot for Delpo these days and given all the bad luck he's had over the years I'm actually really glad he won this title. It would be terrible if his injuries forced him to retire without a Slam to his name because he really is a great player and such a lovely guy.
Thats like my thoughts written out Man! Thanks.
But he won one slam atleast
ytgiyir
If he hadn't won this the debate for best player without a slam wouldn't even be a debate lol
@@jayzerbeam9733 not really. Delpo can't compete with Marcelo Rios, David Nalbandian and David Ferrer on that category if he hadn't won a slam.
Fate has been so cruel with this guy. As a Rafa fan, I trembled in fear anytime Rafa had to play him on hard courts. That brutal forehand man... Also maybe the greatest sportsmanship and humbleness I've seen in a tennis player. I hope he can come back and win a few more slams. He deserves it.
Trembled in fear? You are no Rafa fan
@@TheKakarot_itachi 😂
@@jordanlako3843 Who is left-handed?
@bogdan Petrovic lol. He had a foot injury. He had to undergo MRI.
@bogdan Petrovic n u look like a djokovic fan who is master of all time in taking medical timeouts whenever he is trailing...
I’m here with tears in my eyes watching this in 2022 as Delpo has announced that Argentina open will be his last! I’m grateful this is on KZhead to be able to still relive this!
We suffer the same. ☹️☹️
What is he doing now?
Oh well

Jamás había visto a Rogger Federer tan acorralado e intercambiando golpes de forma tan defensiva y sin hacer daño, jugando de forma pasiva, casi que con miedo y desconcertado, buscando soluciones que no llegaban su cabeza. Delpo en cada derecha , cada forhand lo acorralaba a Federer. Se puede ver a simple vista que Del Potro jugó sin miedo a perder, arriesgaba y ponía todo el corazón en cada golpe. Impresionante Delpo .
Crazy to think that at this point in time, Djokovic only had 1 slam, while Federer had 15...
Federer is early bloomer. His best years are 2004 to 2007. Djokovic started to bloom in later years of his life.
And Djoker would’ve won fewer slams had injuries not derailed Delpo
@@TheJoker-cm5mf um...sure...lol
@@innosanto federer was entering into his thirties when Djokovic got into his prime. If anything, it's Nadal that was early bloomer.
@@TheJoker-cm5mf Huge fan of both but delpotro aside from olympics and davis cup is 1-16 against djoker
One of the best tennis matches ever.
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. Great example about hard work and like a sportsman. Besides that he is a gentleman on and off the court as Roger is too!
He was the real BIG 4, not Murray! Murray is little behind along with Wawrinka although much more consistent!! I'm huge Djokovic fan and I love Del Potro it's sad that injuries ruined him.. I'm sure he would've won at least 3-4 GS if not more if he didn't have any injuries.. But this forehands really ruined his wrist, too much power!!
I watched this with my grandfather. Can still feel the tears.
One of the matches Roger could've won, but I'm super happy for Delpo! I wish him a speedy recovery! (I'm so happy to be able to see a full match from Grandslam channel!!!)
Yeap. He blew a big opportunity against nadal at the Australian open earlier that year too. Oh what could have been huh considering he picked up the french. Guess it just wasnt meant to be huh
Karl Johnston he was never close to winning against Nadal, was always a set down
Fez i think (a) you need to watch the match again. because federer had 6 break points in the 3rd set as well as a love-40 in the 9th game and (b) red rafas book. rafa admits he was spent in that final but gained energy as the match went on. federer had several chances in that 3rd set, had he went up 2 sets to 1 nadal would have waved the white flag. he himself admitted that. federer also got up a break in the first set after being down a break. federer was 4/18 on break points in that match. gee thats a fair few chances
True! But that's a weakness of Federer. He needs a lot of break points he kind of plays too defensive at break point. A good example is his AO Quater Final this year againt Tsitsipas.
He also could have lost easily Roland garros quaerters against haas
Fun fact: Legendary tennis player Guillermo Vilas was in the audience for this game, rooting for del Potro.
Is Vilas still alive ?
He is Argentinian, after all.
@@rudidanner1136 yes he is alive for now.but he has a problem in his head..i dont remenber like say in english.
just listen to the commentators, how they are trying to bury delpo in the first set XD as if they're desperately trying to avoid what's coming lol
Pretty much the only match I’ve seen where Roger played arrogantly/in over his head. He consciously chose not to avoid going to Delpo’s forehand because he convinced himself “I can take it.” And it cost him a Slam! No wonder he said this is the one match he’d choose to play again.
He has lost too many winnable matches since Tim Henman 2001.
Fed is the ultimate god of pushing the limits of how close you can come to winning a match without doing it. And he's still improving! Incredible
😂
@@vanshagarwal2362 remember his first match point where his T serve down the middle just caught the tape? Djokovic guessed the wrong way and took a half step forward to go shake hands. But even after that game, he had another break point where he was in good position for his passing shot. im lucky this didn't happen when i was young; it would have made me a valium addict
Hahahaha exactly. The master of winning without winning
Pretty impossible that he lost this. Pretty shocking
@@JJ-zy3zv deep down he's always been a choker
Delpo deserved to win US OPEN.
15:24 called out by a DOG??!! :S
HAAHAHAHHA
how about this one 16:21
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Underrated comment 🤣
😂
This is like basically the end of Federer's US Open career
in 2009 it was the last of its 5 num1.
As long as Roger is active on the tour he can't be ruled out. But, over the years USO have significantly slowed down the courts, so much that people started calling it Clay Slam 2.0. So, more suitable to Rafa's and Novak's and Stan's game. Inspite of all this, Roger is super talented to suddenly win 1 more USO before retirement. He was unlucky in 2018 (severe heat impact, lost to Millman) and 2019 (back had failed him, lost to Grigor)... and those 2 had lost in their immediate next round.
@@madhukiranattivilli2321 You're wrong; what they took from Federer were the Rodick, Hewit, Ferrero, Gonzáles and Safin. Now if he has two very tough rivals. You don't remember that Rafa already beat Federer on hard courts in 2005 and 2006; Miami 2004 and Dubai 2006, at that time Rafa was barely 17-19 years old. Why do you think Federer has never been able to be number 1 in a season after 2009, which is when Rafa and Djokovic were 22 years old or older.
@@chavarrie.b8698 I said Roger can still win. I didn't compare with others. I believe Roger is naturally more talented than Djoker n Rafa. So if RF ND RN debuted at exactly the same time and of the same age, Roger would've had the upper hand, however small the margins are. But I can't prove this, obviously! So, keeping this aside, I'm 100% ok if RN n ND dominate RF. I'm neither the 3 of them. I'm the spectator. To me, watching RF's game gives max joy (this match RF lost, still am watching for the same reason). Since he plays with panache n creativity n grace, I would love him to play as long as he can, and if feasible to him, win a few more GSs. There is no point in getting into the comparison debates. So, even before the debate starts, I'm ok to accept that RN n ND dominate RF, no probs w/ that. Infact, there is a very high chance for both of them to cross his GS tally by the time the big3 retire.
Madhukiran Attivilli I’ve never ever heard someone call it clay slam 2.0. No one has ever said that. That’s just your excuse for roger not being able to win here.
One of the few winning a GS in big 3 era... Amazing
1:15:10 and 1:16:03 WOW THESE BACK TO BACK POINTS
1:15:30 is the moment Federer lost the championship
Juan Martín del Potro announced his retirement a few weeks ago. The Argentinian was a great tennis player. So sad the injuries ended his careeer.
Del Potro, at 21, crushed Nadal in the semis, and then beat 5-time defending peak Federer in the final. Let that sink in
He was his prime...but thats it.
Federer was past his prime. Peak Federer - 2004.
He was 20 not 21
Those nuclear forehands that blew Roger’s racquet back. :|
Old legend: Thor's hammer New legend: Delpo's forehand
Full match 😱👻😎🤓
Well, we can't see replays of great matches that took place in the 4 Majors through ATP's own streaming service, so the only hope is that the Major's channels themselves share them on the Internet, which is great when it happens.
Full match but not whole trophy presentation...
1:15:16 that was a huge blow to Roger's confidence and psychology
That was absolutely THE moment in the match where it all turned
Yeap...it would have been straight sets other wise..
Clash of forehand, the most powerful one in tour vs the most accurate one.
I was pulling for Federer but gotta give a tip of the cap to Del Potro...he played out of his mind in the fifth
Delpo showed amazing mental-strength, being a first-time finalist against a 15-time grandslam winner.
Delpoooo Delpooooo Oleeeee Ole Ole Oleeeeee
Watching this after he announced his retirement, sad to see such a brilliant career end like this. Thank you Delpo for your tennis over the years, it’s been a joy to watch 🙌
Roger was asked what game he would like to replay and he quickly answered it was this match. He knew he should have won this if he strategized his returns.
Oo, informative.
Complete mental disaster. Squandered the match
Play it 10 times,Del beats him every time.
And the one with Djokovic after winning Nadal I suppose.
yeah Roger got too relaxed after going up 2 sets to 1. He felt he could not lose he stopped coming to the net If you listen to the Martina Navratilova commenting on the match that what she said. so in a way, he let this one slip away.
Who’s here after Delpo retired? 😭
that forehand by Martin was truly devastating........especially on the hard courts........
Thank you guys for this match so much!
Here after his retirement was announced. He was a different monster when he was on form 👏🏾👏🏾
The USO commentary has to be the most biased towards federer ever. Loved the time delpo shut them up and Novak took up the mantle from there!
Haha, what? Fed had won 5 consecutive us opens, and you're saying biased? Djokovic has only three usos, Delpo one. Quit hating on Fed and get a life.
Viendo esto justo después del retiro de Delpo. TE MERECIAS SER NUMERO UNO DELPO
Completamente
Yes, a truly great player and a well-loved man.
As a Rafa fan I think Delpo was my second favorite tennis player along with Wawrinka. Loved Delpo's sportsmanship and humbleness and on his day he was one of the greatest players in the world.
Love both these players! Every time they play it’s always a tight affair, and very entertaining!
Australia 2009 lol
I can't stand these two bias commentators. They wrote off Del Potro in the first minutes of the first set. I'd rather listen to John Mc, Tracy Austin and Evert.
John mac is the man.
Someone was nice enough to post the CBS broadcast of this final, and it's so refreshing hearing the late Dick Enberg, JMac and Mary Carillo.
to be clear,who is del potro compared to federer,this win was a fluke,del potro got lucky
Juan Esteban Kruh Sanmguel and who are you, pathetically commenting on youtube, compared to both fed and potro? i assume you have no slams to show for so youve no right to belittle any of the players let alone delpo. get a life and enjoy the sport
@@jarodhans3758 i never said del potro was bad,i only said federer and del potro are incomparable
In terms of commentary rankings 1. Wimbledon 2. Aus open 3. Roland Garros 99. US open!
Dios te Bendiga DELPO !!!y puedas volver a las canchas de la mejor manera
We missed you Delpo ¡¡¡
I'm a Federer fan but this was the only match I've ever been happy to see him lose. So happy Delpo got a major.
CLASSIC!
Very exciting Match,I never watch this Match before.
The beginning of the end for Fed...
Bravo Juan! Brilliant! 💓💓💓💓
AMAZING DELPO. GREETING FROM ARGENTINA!
11:25
Thank you!
it still stings, But Mr. del Potro in his prime and healthy... lethal.
I miss him ❤
I'm a big Nadal fan but Delpo was my 2nd favorite player. He was next level at the US Open, especially against Federer.
I was upset that night that Feddy lost but today I am happy that Del Potro won that day, because that day I did not know that he would have injury issues in the future and will not be winning another one. I pray that DelPo recovers and I would love to see him compete again. His tennis is beautiful
That moment will always be with Him
Always remember, when Roger wants to talk, he talks.
3 Minute Poetry Analysis always remember, Federer can’t beat Del Potro at the US OPEN
Wowwww😭 I will always remember this final match. That was one of the most important days in our lives. Defenitelly the Us Open is a Sweet home for our argentinian men and women players tennis. 1977 Men's Singles: Guillermo Vilas. 1990 Women's Singles: Gabriela Sabatini and 2009 Men's singles: Juan Martin Del Potro. The American crowd is so lovely and respectfull with argentinians
how did this guy go from 5 straight at the US to never winning it again? especially puzzling because he's won Aussie and Wimbledon as recently as the last couple years
Court speed is like mud now that's why
Well fed having success at wimbledon more is normal because grass is his favorite but his recent titles in AO is the big change as he now has 6 AO to 5 US. In the past the Us open was his more successful slam compared to AO. The AO and US basically traded court speed as the AO is faster now and the US is slower.
@@vanshagarwal2362 not just slower, like mud. I can barley watch it.
@@adamsteele6148 the speed is fine for me,nadal medvedev was a great match
@@adamsteele6148 no because he got exposed 😹
🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾 Those 7 points in a row Delpo won on the 2nd set at 4-5 was the key. Otherwise he’d been 2 sets down which is impossible to win against Federer these years 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Roger should have used his slice much more in this match. But this was a young Roger who thought he could beat Delpo in the power game. He was wrong.
yes also he stopped coming to the net like he did in first 3 sets which was a mistake too
Great match
I miss Del Potro. He made tennis better.
Te amo tanto Juan Martin del Potro.
3:17:03
Fed really lost his mind in this match. Don't know what happened to him mentally. He didn't make the same mistakes in AO 2010, but after that his body started letting him down. This one GOT AWAY.
gumbo Thats a way to put it... I think DelPo won this match by winning the love of the UsOpen crowd and mine (and made me interested in tennis) with his positive attitude. People wanted a new champion, and Federer might have felt that... But he bounced back amazingly!
He should have lost against Haas Roland Garros 1/4 He won and later on won RG title.. He lost this one..
Federer lost this match due to mental issues but those were related to what the media was talking about. Media was going on about Del Potro's flatter and powerful forehand, and people were giving too much credit to those headlines. Federer wanted to show everyone his FH is the best and it was but he forced the issue too much. You can see him trying to go for FH to FH even though it compromised his position on the court. If you rewatch the match while knowing this, you'll see how much this was on Fed's mind.
@@caganerdem6418 No, Fed played an unbelievable match up to the point when Delpo hit that FH passing shot, got the break back and from that moment on everything turned upside down.. He only lost that match because of one reason. Delpo was producing some brilliant tennis.. P. S. Federer didnt even watch the media.. He has his head, brain and his team around him.. They dont need media..
Mentally checked out, happened to the best of them. He just surpassed Sampras at Wimbledon, he did not meant to take it easy, but with a clear goal in his head suddenly gone, it affects his game. The same way Novak crashed after RG16, he managed 4 consecutive GS, holding them all at the same time. He proceed to lose them all in the year to come.
Delpo best player ever.
Er. Rod Laver would TWO grand slams 8 years apart would like a word.
Audio is too low. Can't hear clearly, even with ear phones, unless I'm too conscious about the commentary. "US Open Tennis Championships" please see if this can be improved. Thanks!
Roger was up 6-3, 3-1, and had 2 breakpoints on Delpo's serve! If he goes up 4-1, it's almost a given he closes out the 2nd set to go up 2-0 on sets. He still eventually won the 3rd set, but this is another GS that Roger truly had for the taking and blew it! Also, I miss CBS's ol' US Open coverage, especially the Sunday afternoon starting times for the men's finals. I'm glad they extended the rest period to 48hrs, but I was upset when CBS didn't get the new contract!
Delpo is an amazing guy. He deserved it.
Wow congratulations bro potro 🎊🎊🎉🎉💥💥🔥🔥💐💐
Could you please upload Thiem vs Nadal or Khachanov vs Nadal from last year? Or Thiem vs Del Potro or Federer vs Del Potro from 2017? Would love to see Federer vs Tiafoe R1 too from 2017.
Goodbye Del Potro. :( We all love you.
2:47:20 that's a big microphone!
Such a shame that Delpo has suffered with so much injuries during his career. SO many of us thought he would be right in there in the mix with the big 3 or 4 for years to come. He shows flashes of it now when he is healthy, but he may well have gotten a bunch of more slams if he had remained healthy.
Del Potro is one of the most humble guys along with only Rafa nadal, i wish he could win few more grand slams in the near future
Prime del potro hits different ❤️🔥
2009. Crowd shots and no one staring obsessively at their phone....
Doctor: Le quedan 3 horas y media de vida Yo:
We love You💖💖💖💖💖
Awesome upload. Can you Upload us open final 2011 as well please?
fed was not serving well and had his usual issue with backhand shanks. but unreal tennis from delpo.
Del was like humble Djokovic
Unforgetable DelPo’s heavy forehand winners. Really heavy!
Back here After the very last match of Delpo.. So this is so sad.. For sure, without its wrists or knees injuries, je would have won a lot of other matches like this one, he would have won other grand slams.. anyway, even if he hasn't, we all know he is and will remain a legend. While writing this I really Hope he will heal and that its knee will stop hurting him. I hope I'll be able to edit this message someday Anyway Delpo, thanks for everything, for being that kind player, that true champion, for showing us incredible tennis during all these Years. Thanks for all the emotions. I just wish you the best for the future!
So you upload current matches, but still don´t open your archives for older matches, US Open? Why?
I was so happy Delpo win that day and against Roger so cool...
DelPo: one of the nicest and kindest tennis players of all time.
I wish you could upload the non commentary version, full crowd?
Haha the only annoying part of the video is the commentary! just ruined the video!
@@tattwa1 They're okay actually, I just really like the crowd version... someone uploaded that before.
No commentary is horrible
@@lammie001 for you
No offense but, it seems the Americans talk all the time, even after the point begins- (not cool).
フィディフィーも素晴らしかった🎉

1:55:28 that's was like a rocket 🚀
The commentators were quite biased, didn’t like that. Commentators must be unbiased for the audience. They shouldn’t be given the job to do the commentary at the finals ever again.
thanks for sharing :) delPo deserved it
1:23:33 WOOOOOOOW
Cannot believe Federer lost this. Has a history of choking big matches
I miss so so much 🥺 It was a sad news today. DELPO ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Roger, you're still THE BEST!!!
Audio is too quiet
La razón por la cual amo a Del Potro y es mi tenista favorito.
