Roger Federer - Juan Martin Del Potro 6-3, 6-7, 6-4, 6-7, 2-6
Us open 2009 did not start as the most spectacular one but turned out to be entertaining and ended up in no less than…5 sets. Federer began the first set in force and claim it by 6-3. The second set started following the same boring pattern with Federer winning game after game and potro barely keeping the pace. At 4-1 for Federer something happened and the Swiss showed signs of exhaust which in the end made him concede the second set at tie break 6-7. The third set became more balanced but Federer managed to win one more game and claimed the set 6-4. The set 4 is pushed again to tie break and del potro wins it after plenty of unexpected mistakes made by Federer. After 3 hours and a half the US Open final entered the 5th and its last set. Federer gets delayed by losing his first game and in the end concedes the set 2-6 and also the US Open title in the favor of Del Potro. Quite weird what happened to Federer in the second set, probably the tiring state after the long match against Djokovic while Del Potro progressed easy to the final after a very short semifinal win over Nadal. The Argentinian Del Potro becomes the second South American in the history to win of US Open.
