Del Potro wins the 2009 Us Open

Del Potro has ousted Roger Federer in 5 sets to take his first grand slam title. The first set was taken by roger 6-3 and going into the 2nd set with confidence managed an early break to lead 4-2 until some raging forehand winners from Del Potro seen him return the break and go on to win the second set in a tie breaker. Federer then took control again in the 3rd set taking it 6-4 before an eager Del Potro who just wouldn't lie down with some great winners in the 4th set and once again toughing it out in a tie breaker. The pumped Argentine held his nerve and played and amazing 5th set to claim the victory 4-6 7-6 4-6 7-6 6-2. He was the man with the best form leading into the slam however pulling this off was a huge achievement for him and I was very impressed with how he handled himself in the final, I wish him all the best in future slams and its also nice to have another gun right in the markets now.

Us Open Underway

The US Open is now underway as we are aware of and I'm still in favor of Rafael Nadal bringing home the goods. You can see http://theatptour.blogspot.com/2009/07/us-open.html for what I wrote about the US Open a bit over a month back. Nadal is currently still a great price for those of you who are willing to put a wager on him, just try to get the best possible price. Anyway folks I don't have a whole lot to say today but I'm interested in other peoples thoughts and tips always so If you do happen to drop by here don't hesitate in giving your two cents worth.
