Delpo was really great player…. Only injuries made hard for him to improve. But still a grand slam winner. Great delpo. Well done.
we miss these 2 legends at the 2023 us open now
we always thought that the backhand was Delpo's weakness and we never appreciated how consistent it was
His trainer said in 2008 that his backhand was better than his forehand.
En su mejor momento no erraba ni un revés.
Pre 2010, he was hitting at an angle that was superb..we never saw the best of him..
What do you mean ? His BH was an amazing and powerful shot until the wrist surgeries in 2010 and 2014.
@@rm1507 agree .
It’s such a shame Delpo’s body betrayed him. I think he would have been a consistent contender for major titles for at least ten years. He probably would have won at least four or five.
Delpo is a great tennis player ❤
Del Potro est un très grand champion 👍
Delpo had an absolute joke of a backhand before his surgeries. This thing was a sledgehammer. The semi final against Nadal in '09 is prove of that. I'm convinced that without his surgeries he would have been among the big players, Nadal, Federer and Djokovic. Especially for Nadal I think he would have been a match-up nightmare with healthy wrists.
He would have ruled the US Open kinda like how Nadal ruled Roland-Garros or how Đoković ruled the Australian Open.
que nivel dios mio, que gusto daba ver jugar a estos dos cracks
Del Po's forehand was such a rocket. He absolutely crushed it, almost every fh shot.
Cómo se extraña ver a Delpo en el circuito...
The level of play is truly incredible.
Humildade simplicidade é tudo Deus abençoe sua vida sempre
Tenía mucha estima hacia este jugador, gran deportista y gran compañero
Del poltro joma muito e muito humilde não fica se ganhando na quadra quanto muitos fazem 😔
Del Potro really knew how to play tennis with all the tactics, variations and power
Delpo is a great talent and amazing player. Ita some what unfortunate that some players had to play in a era that had Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, Murray. These 4 players kade it nearly impossinle for anyone to win a grandslam between 2004 to 2020....
The gentle Beast from Argentina whose body didn't support him and eventually robbed him being an all time great.
I know the match ended prematurely but is it possible to upload the full match?
Del Po forehand is 🚀 Rublev is modern Del Po right now 😊
Nadal no quiso ser barrido en tres sets seguidos por un extraordinario Del Potro. Nadal quiso evitar la humillación y decidió retirarse. Grande Juan Martín!!!
eso es lo de menos,jugo un maratonico partido contra thiem una ronda antes ya no podia mas,dios mio cuanto boludo suelto que en su vida agarro una raqueta...
No te olvides del partido previo de Nadal vs Thiem, que duró más de 4 horas, y encima terminó de madrugada.
Cuando vio que lo estaban matando a pelotazos prefirio irse
@@noventaycinc0en realidad no se que le habrá pasado pero tuvo descanso de incluso 2 días
Borrá flaco
The hammer vs the bull
More like, the hammer vs the dull 😂
Rafa had an amazing 2018, 5 titles from the 7 tournaments he completed. His level was arguably higher than in 2017. On the other hand, got injured at AO, and had his knee flare up on him during the US Open, before tearing his abdomen in Paris-Bercy.
Everyone knows that olly .You are not the only one watched his 2018 season
@@FLASH_5 I didn't know that
Haha nadal "I was injured if I lose" claydal?
he was never gonna win the australian open anyway, not with the G O A T Nole there..
@@fransiscoscaramanga674 you know it was Federer who won the Australian Open in 2018. Djokovic lost in the fourth round
Delpo hubiese podido ganar Wimbledon y otro Us Open, las lesiones fueron irreversibles pero la mejor derecha de la historia del tenis
Huge Delpo!!!! We will always be left wondering how many Grand Slams he would have won with a healthy physique.
We should never seen such players in the future.It's a shame.
Delpo el mejor tenista argentino de la historia que debio ser 1 del mundo un buen rato, saludos desde chile
Para Nadal era imposible ganarle a del Potro esa noche, delpo estába a un nivel muy alto . Lastima que en la final no jugó bien pero es una leyenda entre los 30 mejores tenísta de historia por su efectividad . Tuvo tantas lesiones que cuando volvía les ganaba a Federer Nadal djocovic. Es el único jugador sin ser nro1 que ganó a más veces a los nro del mundo .
jugó bien pero se enfrentó a alguien superior
Totalmente de acuerdo! Ni siquiera hoy día hay un jugador estable que podría hacer frente a Djokovic o Nadal (no jugando por lesiones). Se merecía ganar al menos 2 Grands Slam más por las finales fallidas.
que lindo era ver a delpo, siempre respetado por el big 3.
esse Forehand do Del Potro é absurdo
Deeeeelpo. Deeeeelpo.Te extraño Juan Martín
We miss you Delpo.
Se te extraña Delpo
Que humildad la de delpo aplaudiendo a su rival nadie hizo jamas lo mismo
Eso no es verdad. He visto tenis desde niño y eso lo he visto bastantes veces. Djokovic mismo lo ha hecho alguna vez. Y otros. Que el gigante de Tandil es buena gente ya lo sabemos, pero no hace falta mentir
Gentleman , a silent killer he was, we all miss you Del Patro!!!
Delpo is a lord
Igual no lo levantaba ese partido
1:54 le falta una estrella a esa camiseta Argentina!
Del po the Giant that succeded to compete with the big 3! To bad his body failed him like it is happening for Rafa latly
Novak beat Del Potro then to life the cup but didn't Del Potro play well,reminded of 2009 semis where he beat 2 legends in same tournament.Sad injury didn't allow him to showcase more
Im a nole fan and like del potro, but man hes ruined 2 dream finals! us open 2009 (federer vs nadal) And us open 2018 (djokovic vs nadal) and both times he defeated nadal in the semis 😔😂
The QF marathon against thiem defeated Rafa even before the match started.
why 3 sets and not 5 ?
It is a 5 sets. Nadal retired for injures.
Soy argentino y amo a Delpo pero en mi opinión personal Federer y el Rafa son en ese orden los mejores de la historia
Djokovic nadal federer en ese orden
@@pachucownsb3598 Terminè de subir el comentario y me acordé del Nole. Por lejos es al que más quiero. Lo adoro al genio. Así que acepto tu ranking
once again, Nadal pulled out the injury card when getting pounded...... he basically said, "no mas"!!! i can't take it no more............
Djokovic used to be way, way worse. Nadal’s not even that bad. He doesn’t do it that often.
@@Philognosis1 what are you talking about, did you miss Nole winning the australian open in january with a partial tear to his left hamstring, basically winning it on one leg,, Nadal or fed would have skip the AO with that type of injury.
What does this has to do with Nadal tho ? ^^
@@fransiscoscaramanga674 i can only assume from that comment you don’t follow tennis very closely. Or else you wouldn’t have said it.
@@fransiscoscaramanga674Nadal ,fed have real injury ..no one can play with hamstring.. Djokovic doing mind games with opponents to win..he got injured in every tournament and miraculously recovered within one or two days
Jaja 11:00 Challenge al revés, nunca visto 😂😂
Why did Nadal quit? He didn't seem injured
He didn't want to lose against Djokovic in final.
@@ehrrojust like chokovid in us open 2019 and RG 2018
@@mysticnomad89Nadaltard
He was completely drained from the marathon against Thiem which ended at dawn previous day. Us open schedules have been a little inconsistent. Nothing to do with Djokovic
@@karanoberoi9573 of course
Del Thorto
@9:09
who's she?
Before he retired, he was on command. Such an incredible performance from Nadal
Incredible performance from Del Potro
Lol! Did you see the match ?
Weird match to make extended highlights for..
Del thorto ..
nadal is a crybaby, try his best to not face nole in hard courts
Sure, that is why he faced Djokovic in the final of the next GS after this, AO 2019.
@@andreim.5324 and did he win?
@@ahmedisa3723he gave a bagel to chokoshit next year
@@mysticnomad89only on clay, nadal cant play real tennis on hard court against the GOAT
@@alexanderkennedy2969worth to note that can't play on hard courts since 2013! Not a single set has he won against Novak since then... just too shocking 😂
2018??? Del potro número 3 del mundo?
Nadal has often been doing this.
Delpo just destroyed Nadal in that game.
Del Potro, at this time, it was better than Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic.
None of the two wants play at the forehand of the other😂😂 both know whats coming.
im losing..may as well quit
Mal partido de Nadal ☝🏼😌... A un jugador tan lento como del potro solo debes moverlo con pelotas fuertes a los costados y pelotas cortas a la red ...
chicken nadel
absolutely
Del Potro Greatest player. Rafa is a legand
you can see how biased the us open is, del potro wins the match in convincing fashion with incredible points won yet most of the highlights are nadal winning points
Nadal the dirtiest player in the history of tennis.
absolutely
And how Sir?
Del potro arruinó sólito su carrera. Por el ansia de ganarle a federer el us open destrozó su muñeca y se negó la oportunidad de ganar varios GS
