Del Potro defeats Federer in the biggest surprise of the year
The US open 2009 has ended, but with probably the largest number of surprises. The whole tournament was full of surprises. The victory of Kim Clijsters in the women’s singles who returned to Tennis after a two year gap is really fascinating. Kim Clijsters entered the tournament as an unseeded player and finally finishing with an amazing victory. While achieving this millstone she overcame the resistance from players like Serena Williams. Well the biggest surprise came yesterday. Federer the greatest tennis player on earth was defeated by Argentine Del Potro. In the semifinal Federer ended the run of Djokovic. Del Potro was the sixth seeded player in the Tournament. So the world number one could hardly think that he was going to lose. He was definitely going for his 16th career grand slam. But the Argentine 20 year old turned upside down all the predictions and calculations. He produced some great serves and fore hand winners to defeat Federer and to add another name to Federer’s contenders list. He defeated Federer in five sets 3-6, 7-6 (5), 4-6, 7-6 (4), 6-2.He put up a terrific fight to overcome the domination of Federer. So at the end of the match he just lied down on the court. He just burst into tears. Is this the beginning of a new star? It will be interesting to see the tall figured player from Argentina in the times to come.
