Have you ever noticed there is a player that always got Roger
Federer on his nerves in pretty much every match they played?
It's not something that many players can say,
cause it was very unusual seeing Federer losing his calm,
but this wasn't a coincidence at all.
Not only did this man beat him several times,
but Federer was a player that was very used to dictating the game.
He liked the match depending on him.
But against this guy,
he's admitted
in several interviews that he really struggled to take control of the matches.
And the player we're talking about is none other than Juan Martin del Potro,
one of the most powerful and lethal forehands in the history of the game,
and a man that if it wasn't for his injuries,
he would surely be a multiple Grand Slam winner.
Well,
against Del Potro,
Federer had some of his most famous outbursts in his whole career.
I wasn't allowed to challenge like 2 seconds, the guy takes like 10.
Do you have any rules in there?
Stop showing me your hands.
OK!
Don't tell me to be quiet.
OK!
We don't want to talk the talk,
all right?
I don't give a shit.
Wonderful stuff!
And Del Potro not disheartened by the previous point.
Oh my goodness!
When he was break point
up remember and ended up losing a game,
he should have won in Set 2.
In the end, it didn't cost him 2.
In the end, it didn't cost him.
Will that prove to be expensive?
They've got a reset here.
6 all.
They should have waited,
but you didn't stop them,
did you?
You just let them come.
This another call.
While I was talking to Juan. All the way to the sit down.
There's only so much that he should say.
I told him to go back.
I did tell him to go back.
And a very interesting fact is that when asked what match of
his career would he repeat to try and change the result,
Federer's answer was this one.
And who do you want a rematch with?
Well,
maybe Del Potro,
US Open final in 2009.
So, there's no doubt that Del Potro has lived in Federer's mind for a very,
very long time,
and he's delivered some of the most painful losses of his career.
Today,
we're gonna take a look at that match that Roger Federer never forgot,
the US Open 2009 Finals against Del Potro,
where Federer was searching for
sixth US Open in a row,
and Del Potro shocked the tennis world in an unbelievable match.

Stunned and Djokovic
That's like Kleischer's having to beat Venus and Serena.
Goodness.
On the line.
Defense to offense against Federer.
(CROWD CHEERING)
Slides the ace wide to secure the set.
And that's second double.
(OVERLAPPING COMMENTRY)
Can't believe that.
Make
and Federer serves out of trouble.
He's got to do something more with that ball.
It wasn't easy but he
take his time.
He's lucky Del Potro is only a set a break then.
Kicker!
(CROWD CHEERING)
He can do it again.
Just wide and look it's close.
It's in.
Oh that is so dead.
It's in.
He missed it.
Beautiful!
That would be about 125, that forehand.
Worldwide,
the challenge,
it's too late now.
You shouldn't be allowed that.
Do you have any rules in there or stop showing me your hand,
OK?
Don't tell me to be quiet,
OK!
When I want to talk, I will talk,
right?
I don't give a shit what he said.
I just say he's waiting too long.
Don't tell me the rules.
I was not allowed to challenge that 2 matches ago after 1 second.
Well,
you guys.
Another big forehand.
That was it
to a break point,
a set point.
And he doubles it for the set.
That's tough.
That you have to feel a little sympathy for Del Porro.
There two save breakers.
Back to Duke.
Legs them at love.
That's brilliant.
At this point, the spin is served.
