Del Potro is an incredible talent who unfortunately has been plagued with injuries
Prime Del Potro is a Top class player
He's the player that more win scored to numbers 1 without had been number 1
Yes he is however his injuries are not surprising due to his olaying style...
so was robin soderling
Totally agree
46:20 Roger's fourth consecutive RG finals. He was a very good player on Clay court.
All three of Nadal/Djokovic/Federer were. Obviously Nadal more so, but all 3 were consistently making it to finals on clay courts.
He would have been one of the best in history, but had to share his era with two alien beasts on that surface like Nadal and Djokovic. Only their inhuman level playing on clay diminished the excellent performances Roger was capable to offer.
Roger was at a level that should have won the French Open for five years from 2005-2009.
Novak was at a level where he should have won as well for six years from 2011-2016.
But there was Rafa, and before Novak there was Prime Rafa, Roger in God Mode, and Wawrinka in Beast Mode.
In different eras, they were both so good and consistent that they should have won five and six in a row.
So in 2009 Del Potro went from getting destroy at Australian open 6:4 6:0 6:0, to closely loosing at French open, to closely winning at US Open, quite good 1 season progress
Federer is bad on clay dude, not so surprising delpo took him to 5 sets
@@invictus9022 I dont know what you consider "bad", or if you just judge Federer by his 35yo end of carrer, but Federer lost 4 finals to Nadal, so if there wasnt for Nadal, Federer would have 5 French open titles, 7 if we count his losses to Nadal in semifinal or earlier. Djokovic lost 3 finals to Nadal. So based On French open results Federer would be #2 clay player in the world. But of course if you judge Federer by his post 2012 results where he got overshadowed by Djokovic to whom he has lost like 2 grandslam matches each year, then yeah Federer didnt do much on clay in his 30s.
@@niklFIT bro ignore these kids. Federer was phenomenal on clay in his prime. Unfortunate (and maybe fortunate) that the god of clay existed at the same time
@@1729krish Too many people think Federer in his 30s is how he always was
@@niklFIT Novak lost 8 times to Nadal at the french moronlord, and he still has 3 titles. there is now way in hell fraud would be number 2 when he never even won rome or monte carlo 🤣🤣Novak has all clay masters and 11 overal plus 3 french opens. keep crying fedtards fraud number 3 forever 🤣🤣
I really think Del Potro could have been the next world number one if he didn't get injured in 2010. The history books would be so much different. I really thought he was going to be better than murray and djokovic due to his ability to hit big off both sides. He also had great movement.
2010 Djoko only had one slam to his name, if I am not wrong.
@@DesiAbroadUK on top of that slam win Djokovic also had 5 semis and a final, whereas Delpotro who was only a year younger had one slam win and one semi.
Surely Delpo would have been great if injuries had not been there but Djokovic is so much better than him no doubt. Delpo's backend is nowhere close to Novaks in precision or power
@@siriusblack5187 yeah, the only way I could see del potro being better is if he disrupted Djokovic's 2011 season with a few wins, but that's a STRETCHHH
@@Laland_1196
this is a silly comment
del Potro got injured precisely because of his own technique
you can't just count the aces and ignore the double faults
del Potro was never close to Djokovic or Murray on a grand scale
every big win he got, he got it by trading a little bit of his health
This was one of the most important matches of Federer's career. Del Potro threw everything at him. It was torture watching this.
Delpo For me will be the Greatest ATP player only to have Won 1 Slam..
2009 was RF Year..
Would be A injustice if he Never Won the French Open..
He Is probably the Greatest ATP Player to have Won 1 French Open..
Bravo Upload..
This was the match that helped DelPo believe he could beat Federer. He had never taken a set off Fed prior this match. For the first time against Fed, he used his FH as a consistent weapon to boss rallies, and I don't think Fed was expecting the pace coming from that side, as he was getting rushed and pushed back a lot.
And Del Potro Defeated Federer For The First Time In Us Open Final Same Year.
But he failed. Despite that grueling RG semis, the Maestro finally clinched his 1st and only French open trophy. And yes, del Potro did beat the Maestro at the 2009 US OPEN.
41:09 no cheering from Roger's dad after Delpo's double fault, A true classy act.
A true normal act..
Chances are he knew his son would win regardless?
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. No wonder RF is the sports industry role model for mora than a decade now.
Even as his fan I respect his father the most. Rafa said how father of Federer helped him in that Wimbledon 2008 to get to audience in Spanish interview though that loss was one of the toughest one for Roger.
Djokovids father would have jumped up and show the fist
Roger was on pins & needles the whole 2nd week of this tournament after Nadal lost... he got past Tommy Haas only by a whisker, and had a similar close call in this match with Delpotro playing at such a high level. But the moment this thriller ended, i think everyone understood that Soderling wouldn't be able to threaten Roger, and that a historic French Open title would surely be his.
It is like a larger scale 2 sets to love feeling that Fed had because he knew Nadal wasn’t standing in the way. Tennis is such a mind game.
Yet here's 40-15 and he couldn't close. I'm so angry he just did THIS but couldnt close so many times. He proved he could be clutch!
The joke is that Federer lost to Rafa in the AO final that year and then had luck that Rafa lost to Söderling here and then was injured so he couldn’t play Wimbledon. Federer wouldn’t have won any GS in 2009 with Rafa being his opponent in the two finals
@@Luca33600wow, are you serious 😂, don't be delusional.
@@Luca33600Nadal would likely lost to Federer in Wimbledon 09
Need to upload :
Federer Djokovic 2011 semis
Thiem nadal 2019 final
YEP
esp. 2011 fed vs djo
@@Vitas-NaDaL-Messi-Thiem That match was the pure definition of epic and it was only 4 sets.
Fed djoko already there for years on youtube...
And Nadal Thiem 2018 final
32:25 is the most bazooka forehand Ive ever seen. Federer facial expression was just as astonished. That was power.
Federer went frozen for a second
42:15 is bigger
First match I ever watched on TV, 1 year after I had started playing tennis. Was stunned by both players, and have been rooting for Federer since.
41:11 no cheering from Roger's dad after Del Potro's double fault on break point, what a classy man.
Even vexation and disappoinment on his face that break was given that way.
Pretty sure Djokovic's father would shouted and fist pumped in the same situation
federer is the best tennis player ever, and then djokovic shows up and knocks it all down, the question is who is the best now. there is really no need to mention Djokovic in the video where Federer and Del Potro are
Gosh, Djoko lives in your head rent-free
There is no comparison, federer and his family is pure class where as djokovic and his family is pure dick head team, it's a shame to see them.
That reaction is the expected by any decent fan, even if you are the father...I would never, ever cheer a double fault. Anyway, both Roger and Rafa's families are very respectful...Novak...I prefer not to write what I am thinking. Class doesn't come with money.
yea ure right! i thought that was an act of class too
One of the 3 clean Roland Garros in 15 years.
Many ppl think it was an easy title win for Roger, but he could have lost twice en route to his title..
Vijayendran Vijay: Very right! It wasn‘t easy at all, because once his biggest obstacle to a Roland Garros title was out, he knew he could win it, but all the pressure was on him, because everybody then expected him to win, which is mentally very difficult to handle.
Nadull Knee and Federer are overrated
@@monstermichaeltoad5705 a way more than you i guess
This tournament showed why Roger's mentality is sometimes underrated, just because it is not on the level of Nole or Rafa doesn't mean it is weak, in fact it is stronger than most people can think, and if you don't have enough with this tournament, then check out Roger's 2017, that was some clutch season for him.
@@cineastik8220 And Haas was playing some top level tennis during that tournament, so was Delpo.
What a match played by Del potro....what a player! I'm so grateful with him for the spectacular tennis he showed
There is also Federer Haas that was close ! Federer most important title
Yes upload that please! There are no good highlights of it on youtube
Joker there is a 27 minute highlight video of Haas vs Federer 2009 RG

Fantastic match between Del THORtro and Federer. We are witnessing here a fantastic version of both Del Potro and his huge forehands, and Federer with his creativity. Really entertaining match!
Great match involving no dull pushers.
When tennis was a real sport, not as boring as it is now
Gotta respect and like J-MDP. He's one of those rarest of specimens: the fearsome, good guy.
Sure. Del Potro is a gentleman. I could only imagine the feeling of losing against the very best.
He knows once he won this match he’s effectively won the whole tournament.
Legend
I do not care what anyone says. Just look at Federer play here. Absolute poetry. What grace, what poise. Beautiful tennis
Dude, delpo’s bh used to be nasty
I have been waiting for this match, truly a classic. Good structure of the video and good editing. You also took on the advice of avoiding commentary. Thanks Roland Garros! this is what we wanted.
The good old fashion times when players actually improve their performance through out the year, I miss those days
Federer is underrated on clay. The guy made 5 RG finals. If it wasn't for Nadal he'll probably have more than one RG title.
probably 5-7 no RN
I can't imagine Federer fan's heart in this match and the match vs Tommy Haas. I'm happy I was rooting for Rafa during this tournament.. Oh wait not that much
Two great matches of these two at RG: this one and 2012.
33:53- Roger hits a winner, off a winning shot from Juan.
This channel does the best highlights package.
23 Grand Slam semis is absolut unreal
36:51 is this some secret coaching stuff? lol
The Emotion Federer lets out after Winning Match Point was Something i felt in my Bones...Watched it like 5 times already...This Video is put together Beautifully...Really intimate and well done
Haas, Delpo, and then Soderling in the final. A lot of people remember Fed's 2009 French victory as the one he "stole" bc Nadal got the upset but the truth is his path was still as hard as it can be without Nadal.
Miss those sleeveless tanks.
Matches that should be uploaded:
Nadal-Soderling 2009 R4
Coria-Gaudio 2004 Final
Federer-Haas 2009 R4
Maybe Paire-Herbert 2019 R2
Amazing tennis! 🎾🔥I think that Roger Federer is the most stylish player, but much love to the Argentinian for always playing his heart out. To the satisfaction of the crowd and fans all over the world! 🇦🇷🇨🇭
Thank you, wonderful match!
the disguise shot by Delpotro is unreal, always gets Roger.
Roger plays the most beautiful tennis
I have missed Del Potro many times, he has been always an outstanding competitor against the big three or anyone...what a waste of talent missed due to injuries...This match could have gone to anyone, and this is the only Federer's Roland Garros title...well done Roger, you took the only real opportunity you had to win RG.
one of the best games of RG.
Beautiful.
Beautiful game...the real final !
My two favorites players ever
I love them both
Impresionante el juego de ambos. Del Potro una precisión y fuerza increíble.
Bravo Roger! Toutes nos felicitations! Superb tennis! 😊👍👍👍
Thanks for the video. But if I may ask, why RG doesn't upload a video of Soderling vs Nadal match in '09? Feels like tennis world is trying to erase Soderling's feat from everyone's memory!
As a Fed fan I like more this suffered Majors than the easy ones. It feels better
Great introduction, but possibly include the round, like semi final or quarter final, but it flowed really well, and the match was awesome!!!
Federer capitalised on his first and last chance to win the French Open. Hard luck Del Potro!
He's a 5 times finalist, he reached it again in 2011 and the semis in 2019 (ten years later). NEVER take Roger out of the argument.
Sergio Difranco reaching semis of one of the most demanding surfaces at age of 38 itself is no less of an achievement.
Is true, after his 30 years old he's began lost speed.
@@santiagodanielbaezlesme8485 everyone does
33.53 one of the greatest shots in tennis ever
Que genios que compañerismo...Federer hace un punto genial y Juan Martín del Potro lo aplaude...el abrazo cuando acabo el partido de lo mejor!
Probably the most hurting lost for me as fan of Delpo, he knew that if he win this match he was the champ. Anyway later was happy for Roger.
Del Potro is awesome. But the guy in front of him is something else.
@@CarlosRivera-wx3dv Delpo got his revenge 3 months later at Flushing meadows.
@@jacksonkoko413 Federer is awesome. But the guy in front of him was something else.
You mean del potro would have owned soderling? Soderling was always had so low energy left in the tank in the Final of tournaments.
You should quit being a tennis-player if you feel you are always empty in the tank in every final.
Del potro should have won 5-6 slams. Maybe more if he didn’t get injured. His power was insane.
His forehand was powerful as hell 😮
This is one of the very best clay court matches ever, especially for those spectators who generally prefer grass or hard court surfaces because even though they like a hard struck ball and good rallies, they don't want to see every point go 10-25 shots which is typical on clay. Because of the amazing talent of these guys, both at their peak I would say, this match has everything. Don't understand why this match is not featured more as a classic. It is truly an awesome match. I knew Del Potro was fabulous at his peak, especially when he beat Fed at the 2009 U.S. Open but I had no idea Roger could really play this well on clay. This match deserves more publicity. I got to see Del Po live in Cincy in 2013 but while his forehand was still awesome, he clearly wasn't quite at the level he was pre-injury, especially on the backhand side. I was really impressed to see how well Roger could hit hard when he needed to and his creativity and strategizing because at this point you could not outhit Del Po, you could outplay him maybe with smarts and all the talent in the world and that's what Fed had.
Finally RG doing the right thing. I might subscribe
You are pushing it! Ha!
Juan Martin is arguably the nicest guy in ATP in history.
42:43 there's no way this ball was out. Awesome match though, from both of them.
I would love to see the replay on that one. It will stay a secret of the cameraman. I think you are right the ball looks in
You are absolutely correct. That ball had bounced a lot inside, and could have changed the course of the match. Amazing how the main referee didn't notice the mistake.
Fr what a huge mistake
OMG 😱
❤❤❤
Never thought Federer was close to losing. Del Potro was on fire, if not for the variety Federer threw at him, the latter would have lost.
The Federer-Del Potro rivalry is really one of the most underestimated in modern era
Federer should’ve lost to haas
@@WuzzaWombat that too..never saw the match though

لقد جعلتونا نحب هذه الرياضة شكرا لكن ❤
Federer is so BIG that I believe even argentinians wanted him to win that day, nothing against Delpo but that was Federer only chance to get the Carrer Slam. Would be a tragedy of the sport if he didnt get it
You are right. I'm argentine but this was the big chance for Roger. Months later Delpo was rewarded.
Absolutely. Even Delpo wanted him to win it. It was his idol. And you can tell by their encounter at the net at the end of the match how Delpo appreciates Roger.
Please upload Roland Garros 2012 match of Federer vs Delpotro also.
Little did he know that Delpo would later go on and beat him at the US Open Finals.
Did Delpo know that USO 2009 will be his one and only GS title?
@@leralite7682 Injuries;(
@@brunolopez9730 injuries are his fault, his tecnique is bad for his hand and he knows it but he never tried to changed it
@@juanestebankruhsanmguel1960 There can be bad luck or difficulties as well, but yeah you're right to a certain extent. The same applies to Rafa as well. It's no coincidence it's always his knee at risk.

Del Potro, my favorite player !
2009 and 2017 must be Roger's most clutch years
Agreed more on 2017.. 2009 he shoulda won US Open.. but for sure he shoulda won 2019 Wimbledon. If he just won those 2 Slams. He'd be the Goat for sure imo
what a great athlete and sportsman DelPotro, shame about all his injuries.. :(
At 17.33 the great Drummer Manu Katche... idol....
Please upload 2009 final
Delpotro should win 2nd set tiebreak to avoid extending the match to 5 sets his fitness can't endure that
Que drive, x Dios!!!
Goat
jeez watching the replay it really looks like fed was super lucky to win this. At the time i don't remember thinking that
No luck, he was better at that time.
chrisroest not by much
@@ChristiaanRoest79 DelPo was the better player the first three sets. The saving grace for Roger was that he played a poor a second set TB.
@@pomerlain8924 it was an incredible match for sure but to say delpo was better for the first three sets is a lie. He was better in the first and third but they were completely equal in the second. Federer was lucky to win that second set for sure, but not in the sense that delpo choked it was more roger taking his chances and winning the bigger points. Yes delpo could have easily won in three but in the end Roger was just a bit better on the day.
Djokovic definitely benefited from this guys injuries. After USOpen 2009 win, even Federer saw him becoming easily world number 1
Ohh man, i just read that this was there sixth meeting and until then del petro had yet to win a single set against Roger. Unbelievable dominance by Roger against a high class opponent..
Anyone know the music they use in the background of these videos?
Why is that IBM box sitting right next to net post. DP had to avoid it a few times chasing down a drop shot
32:26 What the hell is that ?!?
Even Federer smiles at it lol. Absolute power shot.
I really can't understand why they're not uploading Soderling's victory over Nadal @RG 2009.
Era una señal de lo que pasaría en el US Open...
Juan was the man. Maybe my favorite player in the past 15 years.
The court was amazing to watch, the new version is odd
A mí me gusta en full Roland garros con Juan Martin del Potro y Roger Federer
2009 Nadal vs Soderling please
