US Open GS (USA) – Hard Court, Final – Best of 5 sets.
On Court Sep 14 2009 20:15 GMT
It is Federer’s 3rd consecutive Grand Slam and his 6th US Open finals; he reached the last stage beating determined Novac Djokovic 7-6 (3), 7-5, 7-5. It wasn’t an easy walk to the finals. Federer worked very hard to be here. He had never lost at the Flushing Meadows that must be keeping the reigning champ cool, but Del Potro is no less in ranks. He had beaten Federer’s biggest threat Rafael Nadal and that by itself speaks volumes on the resilience of Argentina’s Jaun Martin Del Potro.
He stormed to finals thrashing Nadal in straight sets 6-2, 6-2, and 6-2 in the semi finals. The gigantic 6-seeded looked just too much for Rafael Nadal and it had been one semi final with the least competition in the recent times; worst ever for defeat in the Grand Slam from the time he’s been playing. He had run into problems of knee injury and looked off his top form. He had serious problems with serve and Del Potro made fewer mistakes.
