It’s such a shame Delpo’s body betrayed him. I think he would have been a consistent contender for major titles for at least ten years. He probably would have won at least four or five.
Delpo had an absolute joke of a backhand before his surgeries. This thing was a sledgehammer. The semi final against Nadal in '09 is prove of that. I'm convinced that without his surgeries he would have been among the big players, Nadal, Federer and Djokovic. Especially for Nadal I think he would have been a match-up nightmare with healthy wrists.
@@FearsomeVoid Correct. And i think the results for Rafa on hard courts against Del Potro would have been devastating Early Del Potro is like Djok but with extreme firepower on both sides Nadals slow bouncy ground strokes would rarely go unpunished
Rafa had an amazing 2018, 5 titles from the 7 tournaments he completed. His level was arguably higher than in 2017. On the other hand, got injured at AO, and had his knee flare up on him during the US Open, before tearing his abdomen in Paris-Bercy.
Para Nadal era imposible ganarle a del Potro esa noche, delpo estába a un nivel muy alto . Lastima que en la final no jugó bien pero es una leyenda entre los 30 mejores tenísta de historia por su efectividad . Tuvo tantas lesiones que cuando volvía les ganaba a Federer Nadal djocovic. Es el único jugador sin ser nro1 que ganó a más veces a los nro del mundo .
Totalmente de acuerdo! Ni siquiera hoy día hay un jugador estable que podría hacer frente a Djokovic o Nadal (no jugando por lesiones). Se merecía ganar al menos 2 Grands Slam más por las finales fallidas.
Nadal no quiso ser barrido en tres sets seguidos por un extraordinario Del Potro. Nadal quiso evitar la humillación y decidió retirarse. Grande Juan Martín!!!
eso es lo de menos,jugo un maratonico partido contra thiem una ronda antes ya no podia mas,dios mio cuanto boludo suelto que en su vida agarro una raqueta...
Eso no es verdad. He visto tenis desde niño y eso lo he visto bastantes veces. Djokovic mismo lo ha hecho alguna vez. Y otros. Que el gigante de Tandil es buena gente ya lo sabemos, pero no hace falta mentir
Delpo is a great talent and amazing player. Ita some what unfortunate that some players had to play in a era that had Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, Murray. These 4 players kade it nearly impossinle for anyone to win a grandslam between 2004 to 2020....
True, difficult era for excellent players like Stan, Murray etc…. However, Delpo would have won many grand slams if he didn’t have the wrist injuries as he was a matchup nightmare for those guys. I think he would have won 7-8, but we will never know unfortunately.
@@WhiteGhostofSparta what are you talking about, did you miss Nole winning the australian open in january with a partial tear to his left hamstring, basically winning it on one leg,, Nadal or fed would have skip the AO with that type of injury.
@@fransiscoscaramanga674Nadal ,fed have real injury ..no one can play with hamstring.. Djokovic doing mind games with opponents to win..he got injured in every tournament and miraculously recovered within one or two days
He was completely drained from the marathon against Thiem which ended at dawn previous day. Us open schedules have been a little inconsistent. Nothing to do with Djokovic
Im a nole fan and like del potro, but man hes ruined 2 dream finals! us open 2009 (federer vs nadal) And us open 2018 (djokovic vs nadal) and both times he defeated nadal in the semis 😔😂
Simple why Nadal retired. He wanted to give Del Potro some rest, so that Del Potro could beat Djokovic in the final. Nadal did the same in 2022 Wimbledon by giving a walkover to Kyrgios in the semifinal so that Kyrgios could be fresh enough to beat Djokovic in the final. Didn't work though. Djokovic ended up winning both.
Novak beat Del Potro then to life the cup but didn't Del Potro play well,reminded of 2009 semis where he beat 2 legends in same tournament.Sad injury didn't allow him to showcase more
@alexanderkennedy2969worth to note that can't play on hard courts since 2013! Not a single set has he won against Novak since then... just too shocking 😂
Delpo was really great player…. Only injuries made hard for him to improve. But still a grand slam winner. Great delpo. Well done.
It’s such a shame Delpo’s body betrayed him. I think he would have been a consistent contender for major titles for at least ten years. He probably would have won at least four or five.
we always thought that the backhand was Delpo's weakness and we never appreciated how consistent it was
His trainer said in 2008 that his backhand was better than his forehand.
En su mejor momento no erraba ni un revés.
Pre 2010, he was hitting at an angle that was superb..we never saw the best of him..
What do you mean ? His BH was an amazing and powerful shot until the wrist surgeries in 2010 and 2014.
@@rm1507 agree .
we miss these 2 legends at the 2023 us open now
Del Po's forehand was such a rocket. He absolutely crushed it, almost every fh shot.
Sledge Hammer Forehand.
The level of play is truly incredible.
que nivel dios mio, que gusto daba ver jugar a estos dos cracks
Delpo is a great tennis player ❤
Tenía mucha estima hacia este jugador, gran deportista y gran compañero

He would have ruled the US Open kinda like how Nadal ruled Roland-Garros or how Đoković ruled the Australian Open.

Dos veces en semifinales del US OPEN se la peló Nadal con Del Po. Grande, Juan Martin.

Delpo el mejor tenista argentino de la historia que debio ser 1 del mundo un buen rato, saludos desde chile
Delpo hubiese podido ganar Wimbledon y otro Us Open, las lesiones fueron irreversibles pero la mejor derecha de la historia del tenis
The hammer vs the bull
More like, the hammer vs the dull 😂

Huge Delpo!!!! We will always be left wondering how many Grand Slams he would have won with a healthy physique.
And if at least one of the big three didn't play at his time :)

once again, Nadal pulled out the injury card when getting pounded...... he basically said, "no mas"!!! i can't take it no more............
Djokovic used to be way, way worse. Nadal’s not even that bad. He doesn’t do it that often.

He didn't want to lose against Djokovic in final.
