Juan Martín del Potro defeated Roger Federer , 3-6, 7-6, 4-6, 7-6, 6-2 to win US Open grand slam which is his first ever grand slam and mind you.he is just 20 years old youngster. He stopped Roger Federer from achieving a record sixth US Open title. It looks like a new champion is borne.
As Telegraph UK Reported:-
The 28-year-old Federer, aiming to equal the streak of six US titles in a row notched by American Bill Tilden in the 1920s, fell behind in the third set, before recording a run of four straight games to break Del Potro twice, winning the set when the 20 year-old from Tandil served two consecutive double faults.
As Associated Press Puts it:-
Due to some rough weather at the 2009 US Open, play was suspended numerous times, and it forced the final round of competition to be pushed back to Monday morning at Bethpage Black. With several players near the top of the leaderboard, thoughts of a playoff came to mind. According to the rules of the US Open, a playoff results in an extra 18 holes of golf, and with the tournament already pushed back to finish Monday morning, the playoff would take place on Monday in the late afternoon if it had to be played. That would be a lot of golf for even the best of players, and had to be in the mind of the leaders heading into the final holes of play at the Open.
Whatever it is the winner is rewarded with the cheque of $ 1.5 million and also a key to the brand new lexus. So congratulations Del Potro.
