What a match played by Del potro....what a player! I'm so grateful with him for the spectacular tennis he showed
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
I do not care what anyone says. Just look at Federer play here. Absolute poetry. What grace, what poise. Beautiful tennis
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
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.
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
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
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
He knows once he won this match he’s effectively won the whole tournament.
Legend
Two great matches of these two at RG: this one and 2012.
33:53- Roger hits a winner, off a winning shot from Juan.
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
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.
This channel does the best highlights package.
the disguise shot by Delpotro is unreal, always gets Roger.
33.53 one of the greatest shots in tennis ever
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
The amount of crazy forehands from both is this game was insane
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
@@Nikica40 nah, its always federer choking and losing matches he should've won
Roger plays the most beautiful tennis
Finally RG doing the right thing. I might subscribe
You are pushing it! Ha!
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.
As a Fed fan I like more this suffered Majors than the easy ones. It feels better
23 Grand Slam semis is absolut unreal
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!
Juan Martin is arguably the nicest guy in ATP in history.
ما اريد قوله اني كنت محضوض لاني عايشت حقبة فيديرار ونادال
هذا الحقرة لن تتكرر
لقد جعلتونا نحب هذه الرياضة شكرا لكن ❤
Bravo Roger! Toutes nos felicitations! Superb tennis! 😊👍👍👍
My two favorites players ever
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.
I love them both
Djokovic definitely benefited from this guys injuries. After USOpen 2009 win, even Federer saw him becoming easily world number 1
33:43 crazy point by Fed and heavy mjolnir forehand by Delpo at 42:16
Please upload Roland Garros 2012 match of Federer vs Delpotro also.
Delpotro should win 2nd set tiebreak to avoid extending the match to 5 sets his fitness can't endure that
Grande del Potro un caballero.
At 17.33 the great Drummer Manu Katche... idol....
Wow, DelPo's backhand really was pretty good back then
Juan was the man. Maybe my favorite player in the past 15 years.
12:45 surreal to see del potro bigger size from the far side of the court. Makes Federer look very short.
Full match plz
Federer Simply The "Genuins"
Please upload 2009 final
Era una señal de lo que pasaría en el US Open...
Del Potro, my favorite player !
A mí me gusta en full Roland garros con Juan Martin del Potro y Roger Federer
Anyways Delpo got his revenge in US open 💪💪💪
With Ed Fed’s run to the title to complete his career slam, so to speak. Sad for Del Potro as he had so much talent but is plagued by injuries. He took out Nadal and Federer to win the U.S. open that year which was ridiculous in 2009. You wonder how many slams he would have won if he did not continue to deal with injuries. In addition a classy guy no fantastic sportsman!
23:12 LOL Wow!!!
11:32 Mistake by the ref. He shouldn't even have checked the mark because once he overrules, he is not allowed to check the mark and overrule himself. Made no difference in the end but was technically a mistake.
What's crazy is, if Nadal didn't lose in 2009, Federer would never have one French Open GS title, damn.
me gusta un full 720 en roland garros con juan martin del potro nuestro gran tenista profesional🎾
Today's tennis misses DelPo.
Remember this match. Indeed it was a classic. Federer could not break him for >3 sets. Del Po got him back later that year though.
That drop shot won him this match.
Del Po looked like a Giant Bumble bee in this match. 😂🐝
RG - why waste the first 5 mins on interviews, warm up and Public announcement?
Dear RG, please upload tennis in 4K
Delpo shouldv won this one btw....
42:42 Del Potro has the ball before baseline!!!!
It is very surprising BIG 3 has failed to win 2 titles at specific surface... Federer lost 4 French open finals.. Nadal lost 4 AO finals... Djokovic has lost 3 French open finals... Federer always struggles against strong powerful forehand... He has lost US open 2009 final against Del potro... Where his Consecutive 5 titles winning streak got broken which he never continued... Similarly Wimbledon 2008, another streak got broken.. Delpotro has also beaten Federer in US open 2017... Who can forget epic Olympic match 2012.. Semi final.... Looooongggg match 💞.. These two have always produced thrillers
Djoker has lost 4 RG finals now
Djokovic has won all more then once now.
@@arslaanpasha3334 No doubt Djokovic is a master, he is mentally very tough otherwise no one can imagine that sort of comeback and that to in GS final 💞
Federer laugh , he cant to believe Delpo's forehand 32:20
He was the Tallest player to win a slam , his coach should have put more focus on to prevent knee injuries, longer breaks and better preventitive excercise ,would have given him a longer tennis career, he was always one off my favourites , such a pitty he had so much injuries.His coaching staff is to blame in my opinion , a True Gentleman in the sport.
He also had recurring wrist problems. The guy probably didn't have the best genetics at preventing injuries overall.
Delpo is better than all of "big 3"
Shame for the damn injuries.
Is it the semi final or quarter finals or round of 16 matches?
Semi final
Its written on title😑
Roger vs roben pls
32:00 Fed's twin sister
30:05
Federer should name one of his children Robin 😉
20:36 I don't know what to say
luck
Please make video between Kuznetsova vs Serena 2009, 2013. Kuznetsova vs keber 2013
That year, delpo was sniffin coke 10 times per match. You should watch the US open semi's where he utterly butchered Rafa. No one has beaten Rafa quite like that ever
I could not agree more except Djokovic VS Nadal at ao although not same style as delpotro
I wonder why nobody calls Roger The Feds?
Because the world is more than just America, if you're able to think about it.
Sleeveless shirt on DelPo ...very unusual.
これ見てたけど、フェデラーのスタミナって無尽蔵やな。
I thought it was argentine not argentinian 10:20 grammatical mistake.
i've always heard the latter. chances are, both are used.
Del pot was kind of Safin 2.0....
Federer drained all of his luck in this tournament, he has been suffering ever since.
The troll is back lol
He really suffered, that's why he won 3 more AO titles and 2 Wimby titles ever since.
@@hathaway.1166 5 gs titles are not a lot for a Big3 member in 11 years
@@hathaway.1166 actually he won 3 Wimbledon after that: 09, 12, 17
@@hathaway.1166 He suffered in USO 2009, USO 2010, RG 2011, W 2011, USO 2011, AO 2012, RG 2014, W 2014, USO 2015, W 2016, USO 2017, W 2018, USO 2018, AO 2019, RG 2019, W 2019 and USO 2019.
The running prompts throughtout the match were clearly written by someone who does not speak English well lol. All of the wording is structured hella weird.
With a healthy Delpo, Djokovic and Nadal wouldn’t have reached 20 majors.
Federer literally never goes to the net, people still compare him to Sampras. Lendl, Agassi and even Borg went to the net more often
TF are you talking about? first off, different eras with different string technology and surfaces. for the modern game, fed goes to the net as much as would be smart to, and more often than most. increase your tennis knowledge.
@@DanielBoonelight Yeah, he does go to the net fairly often for this era. His volley skills, though, are overhyped like crazy and get falsely compared to the likes of Sampras, Edberg, etc.
@@hehehehehahahaha2025 have you ever watched a tennis match ?
@@taopaille-paille4992 what's a tennis match?
@@hehehehehahahaha2025 😂👍
Federer only won this tournament because Rafa was injured.
Everyone says that but Rafa was still the favourite to win the tournament and the only time he was pushed before losing to Soderling was the first set vs Hewitt in the first round . Soderling had the match of his life the injury excuse doesnt wash especially how handily Rafa beat him in Rome 1 and 1.
He was not injured Soderling did the match of the deceny against Nadal.
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.
That forehand in the point starting at 32:16 is one of the biggest forehands I have ever seen. The force and sound of whip took me out of my seat, it's almost like he's hitting it backspin it is that flat. I haven't seen many highlights of Federer on clay but this explains why he reached multiple consecutive finals here, he got by Del Potro with every skill and shot at his disposal and certainly on any other day where he wasn't able to employ his A+++ level at distinct points in the match he would have lost. On so many occasions he neutralized the devastating power of Del Potro by employing a barrage of off-brand and off-pace shots. He'd commonly hit 2 or 3 consecutive slices or off-pace shots using such unconventional/beautiful/spontaneous/ad-lib/genius? racquet paths resulting in an absurd variety of spin and providing that tiny extra moment of hesitation in the Del Potro missile factory that prevented him from being able to properly lock and load and seemingly blow Fed off the court every time. Unbelievable mastery but boy was Del Potro a beauty too.
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

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.
Federer is one of the greatest clay court players of all time
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

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.
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..
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.
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
Dude, delpo’s bh used to be nasty
This was one of the most important matches of Federer's career. Del Potro threw everything at him. It was torture watching this.
A real torture at RG 2009 was Haas vs Federer. As a Federer fan with Nadal out and 2-0 for Haas…. pure torture
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
36:51 is this some secret coaching stuff? lol
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.
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
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.
The good old fashion times when players actually improve their performance through out the year, I miss those days
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!
Miss those sleeveless tanks.
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?
