Del Potro stuns Federer – US Open finals video
Juan Martin del Potro brought Roger Federer’s five-year dominance at the US Open to an end at Flushing Meadows to win a grand slam in his first final.
HERE IS THE VIDEO
NEW YORK – Juan Martin del Potro dethroned five-time defending champion Roger Federer 3-6, 7-6 (7/5), 4-6, 7-6 (7/4), 6-2 to win the US Open on Monday, ending an era to win in his first Grand Slam final.
Federer could only manage a 54% first service rate and delivered 11 double-faults as del Potro clocked up 37 forehand winners, while the five-time champion converted only five of 22 break-points.
It also completed a grand slam season in which Federer, 28, had begun the year in tears as he lost the Australian Open final to Rafael Nadal but then won a first French Open title and broke Pete Sampras’ record of all-time grand slam wins at Wimbledon with his 15th career title.
Both men had played wonderfully to win their semi-finals on Sunday, the champion defeating Novak Djokovic and del Potro demolishing Nadal.
But this was 20-year-old del Potro’s first grand slam final.
