Who Won The US Open 2009 – Federed vs Del Potro

Juan Martin del Potro (aka “El Potro Loco”) staged an upset victory over Federed the multi-titled tennis pro. Del Potro needed 5 sets to win the US Open. The first four sets is a struggle. Literally every point counts for the Argentinian player. In the 5th set, we’ve seen a hungrier del Potro with Federer simple “loosing it” and fell apart. It was so sudden. Federed can’t simply find a way to stop the 20 year old 6 foot 6 inch del Potro. It was a huge upset and Juan Martin del Potro won his first ever grand slam title.

Del Potro will pocket $1.6 Million for winning the US Open. His biggest prize winning so far.
