US Open Mens Final Tennis 2009

(Seeming that the last thread got locked by some needless foolish posts here's one for tonight's final only)

Did anyone see Del Potro yesterday versus Nadal? It was frightening stuff!

The term merciless springs to mind. He was simply awesome.

And Federer is in the final again which is of no surprise. He setup his match point with this shot
YouTube - Federer hits a hotdog past Djokovic

I hope Del Potro wins

But a straight sets victory for FedEx will hardly be a shocker!

stunning shot - saw that this morning and you just can't say that is not amazing.

Federer said it was the best shot of his life in an interview after the match. props to Dojokavic (sp) - he just had to smile and think sometimes Federer is unplayable.

I would love to see him win a 6th straight title but i think Del Potro has looked superb over the last few weeks. Still question that he is 20 years old - looks about 28!!!

Crikey, what a shot. Not only to get it back, over the net, but to be a shot worthy of being faced the right way and to setup a match point to boot! Crazy

Awesome match!

What a great match of tennis. Glad to see another Grand Slam winner on the men' tour- hopefully Murray next!

Mad respect to Del Potro. And don't count out Fed, 4 Major finals and 2 wins!

Del Potro was awesome!

I just hope it doesn't turn into another Henman, carrying the nations hopes, but never quite making it...

Can't argue he is still young. Del Potro is only 20, and looks much more likely to win more, than Murray does to win just one...

Glad I stayed up for this...I remember in the 2nd set Federer was a set and break up and I thought to myself I'd be going to bed in about an hour, hour 20. Thankfully not!

Seeing Federer lose his cool swearing both s and f words at the umpire live on tele was funny but great to see how much it still means to him. What a professional!
