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.
