If he made it past Nadal, that would be pretty spectacular from him, but I highly doubt he will. Nadal's movement around the court is far too superior and he will expose Delpo's weaker backhand. In any case, I wish him the best of luck.
Rodrigo Garcia hey el juego de Nadal Sele hace perfecto a del potro mira su istorial las veces que le q ganado Nadal era cuando delpo está saliendo que estaba chico y cuando volvía de una lección pero con delpo hacia no creo riss jjj
prettyvisitor89 Cilic tiene un handicap terrorífico contra Delpo que le impide hasta administrar la más cómoda ventaja. El día que logre vencerlo se sacará un tremendo peso de encima.
Tiene dos triunfos contra él, tal vez algún día le vuelva a ganar pero la losa mental la va a tener siempre. Aparte no le pasa solo con Del Potro sino también contra Wawrinka y Zverev. Y ni hablar contra Djokovic, tuvo que esperar a que sea una sombra el nivel del serbio para poder ganarle por primera vez tras 14 derrotas.
As much I want to see someone beating Nadal chances are very slim, Delpo is playing great at the moment but the big test comes now for him. I have a feeling Nadal will explore Delpo’s backhand and move him around the court, which he does so effectively,Nadal seems unbreakable but I’d love to be proved wrong
Great match...from what I could see! LOL Two big men with remarkably similar games...big forehands, big serves, and nice touches. But Potro is playing on fire! Nadal better watch out cause a big man is coming!
Judging from the highlights, Del Potro will have a hard time when facing Nadal. Nadal moves fast and with powerful forehand, and even not shy of using backhand, dropshots or coming to the net. Anyway, these two will make a great fight tomorrow.
Delpo doesn't stand a chance against Rafa. His backhand just isn't strong enough to sustain the rallies against Rafa's massive forehand. It is going to be exploited from beginning to end.
Dude, should i remind you that Schwartzman took a set of Nadal and he could've won without the rain delay? I'll give you 2 minutes to retract your statement, because it's ridiculous.
nadal delpo is gonna be a thriller match. He s one of the very few players that can beat nadal on clay, he can win tomorrow. Whatever will be the result, I am sure this match will put a hell of a show
What makes you say he's one of the few players who can beat Nadal on clay? The facts beg to differ. They played once at RG and Nadal win in 3... It would be more accurate to say he's one of the many players who has never beaten Nadal on clay.
I didnt say he has beaten him, I said he s one of the few that can beat him, because he has the style of play to do it. well, not today, obviously. He looked very tired on court and nadal is just too good right now
Fairy tale? LOL. The dude's name will forever be synonymous with clay, nothing in the future really makes much difference to that. I mean, the guy has won 10 French Open titles for goodness sake. He's already in a freakin' fairy land on clay. Literally, the only significance of this tournament for Nadal is catching and possibly surpassing Federer's slam count. His clay court legacy is untouchable. For anybody else to win the French Open would be like a dream come true for them, a truly career-changing experience. For Nadal, it's only about his rivalry with Federer.
I think that Delpo is one of the few guys, who can beat Rafa, and he will not be afraid with the situation, or have second thoughts, of course Rafa is favourite but I hope Delpo wins, he can do it it´s 50 / 50 for me
I think Delpo relying on his backhand as a defensive shot is fine. However, if he wants to beat Nadal he: - Absolutely can't slice his backhand as much as he did here. Nadal doesn't care about slice at all, it just gives him the upper hand in the rally. - Has to hit his forehand with way more power. That's the only way to break through Nadal. I think Nadal's higher output angle will make this easier than against Cilic, but I still felt there were times in this match that Delpo wasn't using his forehand to its full potential.
Khairi Lah Delpo is one of my favourite people on tour, and he’s also an amazing player. I’m not trying to undermine him, I’m just breaking down what I think :). Unless you believe everything I said is wrong, then I’d like to hear your reasoning.
The thing is that Nadal applies SO much top spin that when his opponent applies too much power on the ball, it usually goes out. For Delpo to win he should have almost perfect control of this. But again, nothing that he hadn't already done before. It is a promising match.
Delpo is the number 4 in the world now and he has it well deserved even with the injury prior to Roland Garros could show a great recovery. I feel that he can beat Nadal but I think Nadal feels unbeatable in this tournament and only a very bad day can make Del Potro win but you never know.
Im the One si .. terrible paliza le metió.. pero eso no quita que tiene el juego para vencerlo . En el primer set tuvo como 10 breakpoint y no aprovecho ninguno.. después se pajeo..
I really thinks he does! Vamos Del Pooo! But don't forget that if he did win this match, Thiem is playing great, and also the Italian sensation. Who ever wins of these 2, is going to be a very tough match
Rogério Comello Machado fragile backhand? someone hasnt been watching delpo lately, he has improve his backhand a lot, thanks to that he won indian wells, hell even in this match his backhand was better than his forehand, please dont post if you dont watch the matches, peace
I've been watching indeed, but not having hallucinations such as "his backhand was better than his forehand". By the way, Del Potro himself admits that his backhand is in a poor state and that it can be easily exploited by Rafa as a lefty. See it on his post match interview from 1m45: th-cam.com/video/ncXDDmZMcZY/w-d-xo.html But maybe yes, you know better than Delpo himself about his backhand.
Rogerio you clearly didn´t watch the match.. his forehand was awful today, his serve was amazing and the backhand too, go and check the entire match not just this highlights
Rogério Comello Machado he said that as a strategy, of course i know delpo much better than you, i watch every single match cause im from argentina and we love him here in this country, his forehand was awful today but his backhand was on point, stop replying cause you clearly dont follow him
It has to be noted though, that del Potro was harassed by a guy in the audience during the second set. So he slightly underperformed, but still managed to win. He's a beast!
michaela mitulet that and also most of the people that was there yesterday didn't have tickets for today. Thanks to the rain and the Roland Garros' terrible organization.
Nadal can easily expose this pusher, Thiem is the best option for the AntiDull team. Also congratulations to Delpo, he looked like a drama queen in the end of the match.
Felicidades al argentino, buena victoria ante el duro croata. Se viene un enfrentamiento más pesado contra el rey del polvo de ladrillo, será un buen Match.
I remember when Delpo was 18-19 , he was so fast. I don’t know why he’s too slow now , and feels tired during all the match even if he can sprintes sometimes.
Yes, but Delpo was so young and he doesn´t have this playing style like Nadal. Of course if Nadal was more on Tour, he would have won more Slams, but this is fitness and activity sport...and Delpo was away for a really long time and couldn´t play...
2 very different cilics, he played great against fognini couple days ago and played teribble today. Del potro wasnt great eather but stil won. Its getting easer for nadal day by day. 3-0 nadal against delpo
By this far...nadal won.t care less who his opponent would be in the semis and final.....he only aim 4 the title like nothing else.s matter.....and he will win it like 1000% sure

Damn Roland Garros, over 5 minutes...take it easy, don’t strain yourself
Nathan Roman 😂😂😂😂😂
Nathan Roman 👍
a shame. ..
Lol
You guys never shut the fuck up, it just gets boring
minhaj ahmed stfu dumb kid and learn what sarcasm is
I'm so proud of Del Potro. He's been playing so well this past year and blasting ground strokes against Cilic isn't easy lol
Grande Juan Martín!!! Ojalá se te de en la semi.
Genio Delpo estamos con vos !!! Orgullo de la Argentina !!!
I want delpo win so bad man, he deserves it.
If he made it past Nadal, that would be pretty spectacular from him, but I highly doubt he will. Nadal's movement around the court is far too superior and he will expose Delpo's weaker backhand. In any case, I wish him the best of luck.
Impossible.
Not having much to do with deserve, but if Delpo can keep this up and blast Nadal off court like Soderling did before, it's great for the game.
Nintendo97
Anything is possible.
I'm aware it's clay but Nadal does have his upsets every now and then.
Desert has nothing to do with it.
I love French Open tennis. So many more options on that surface than hard courts. And Roland Garros: This almost qualified as an actual highlight.
Je n'ai pas vu le match, suis si heureuse pour Juan.
Increíble tercer set. Delpo sacaba 1-3, 15-40 y lucía totalmente fuera de foco y apagado. Terminó ganando 5 games seguidos y llevándose el set.
prettyvisitor89 en esas nadal no te perdona jaja
Rodrigo Garcia hey el juego de Nadal Sele hace perfecto a del potro mira su istorial las veces que le q ganado Nadal era cuando delpo está saliendo que estaba chico y cuando volvía de una lección pero con delpo hacia no creo riss jjj

Guys with best forehands!💪

Amazing and so crowded audience for the quarter final! Congratulations Roland Garros(!)
🙌grande delpo loco aguante Argentina
Well played set. Loved seeing these two compete
We all love del Potro...
Vamos delpo all the way! You so deserve more than 1 GS title!
Love Delpo! Such a nice guy!
Fantastic 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Yeah, put your own highlights if you gone block all the others. That´s how you do it, Roland. Take lessons English Premier League
Tremendo Martincito!
0:05 nice drop shot winner😂😂😂
First bounce was almost out of the service line xd
Nice sarcasm. I hope you could return that..
People are more amazed by 5 min highlights from RG, than from the match))
4:20 might be one of the best shots ever. a slice drop shot from WAY outside the baseline landing just over net. gorgeous.
Great match...from what I could see! LOL
Two big men with remarkably similar games...big forehands, big serves, and nice touches. But Potro is playing on fire! Nadal better watch out cause a big man is coming!
and similar heights! 1.98m :D
And similar birthdays (born a week apart), and similar title success ( both have won one Us Open and one Masters title).
If del Potro beats Nadal tomorrow, then I'm cheering for him to win the final, even though I'm a Nadal fan. Love del Potro, he is such a nice person.
Delpo is such a champ
If someone can beat Nadal it sure is Delpo
De Toa Baja Pal' Mundo and dominic thiem :))
Alex Sandro True, Nadal vs Thiem final would be great. Thiem tends to choke and I want that revenge 🧛🏽♂️
i'm argentinian, but only one can beat him, Roger Federer
cosmee fulanito Federer never defeated Nadal in RG
cosmee fulanito when have Federer beaten Nadal at the French open? Take your time.
Stop putting the winner on the thumbnail!!
Juan Martin Del Potro play very well!!! I like him!
Judging from the highlights, Del Potro will have a hard time when facing Nadal. Nadal moves fast and with powerful forehand, and even not shy of using backhand, dropshots or coming to the net. Anyway, these two will make a great fight tomorrow.
Incredibile Juan! 🏆🏆🏆🏆🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
WIN IT ALL JUAN!!!
4:30 LA MANO MAGICA DE DELPO!
I like delpo and really happy hes through to the SF but once Rafa make him move along the court I would say it will be hard for Delpo to win
Delpo doesn't stand a chance against Rafa.
His backhand just isn't strong enough to sustain the rallies against Rafa's massive forehand. It is going to be exploited from beginning to end.
Unfortunatelly, Del Potro can't stop Nadal! But it will be great match! del Potro VS Nadal!
fed fan HAHAHAHAHA
Veremos. Aguante Delpo ;)
Dude, should i remind you that Schwartzman took a set of Nadal and he could've won without the rain delay? I'll give you 2 minutes to retract your statement, because it's ridiculous.
the rain is for both players, if one of them does not have the mental strength to face the rest of the game it is not the fault of nadal ...
Daniel R. Lol true
I love him!!
Be solid tactic from Delpo. It wasnt pretty as he hesitated to attack on almost everything, but in the end it proved to be right way.
I always wanted to see Delpo and Rafa on this tournament. It needs to be really hot and clay to be really solid if its quick Juan has a chance.
GRANDE JUANN ..🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷EL unico que puede parar a RAFA.. x su potrncia es el.
Ole ole ole ole.DEL POOO
DELPOOO.🇦🇷🇦🇷🏆🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🏆🇦🇷🇦🇷🏆
Great match from Del Potro!
miss him
nadal delpo is gonna be a thriller match. He s one of the very few players that can beat nadal on clay, he can win tomorrow. Whatever will be the result, I am sure this match will put a hell of a show

well unfortunately. .you were wrong..except for the first set. ..
I didnt say he has beaten him, I said he s one of the few that can beat him, because he has the style of play to do it. well, not today, obviously. He looked very tired on court and nadal is just too good right now
4:30 Del Potro Became Federer for one shot XD
hope del potro will beat nadal( I like him too,but have won to many that makes me bored) I would be so happy to see either Tim or Del wins the title.
Fairy tale? LOL. The dude's name will forever be synonymous with clay, nothing in the future really makes much difference to that. I mean, the guy has won 10 French Open titles for goodness sake.

For Nadal, it's only about his rivalry with Federer.
May the best man/player win... not that u want this guy that guy win then it will happen just like that... be realistic!!!
Not gonna happen
Not that hard to type the word Thiem...
I think that Delpo is one of the few guys, who can beat Rafa, and he will not be afraid with the situation, or have second thoughts, of course Rafa is favourite but I hope Delpo wins, he can do it it´s 50 / 50 for me
Delpo looking great but the highlights thumbnails are giving it away again.
I think Delpo relying on his backhand as a defensive shot is fine.

- Absolutely can't slice his backhand as much as he did here. Nadal doesn't care about slice at all, it just gives him the upper hand in the rally.

easier said than done. why not you try to play against Nadal.
Khairi Lah Delpo is one of my favourite people on tour, and he’s also an amazing player. I’m not trying to undermine him, I’m just breaking down what I think :). Unless you believe everything I said is wrong, then I’d like to hear your reasoning.
Khairi Lah 😃
MrPatrickbuit Add in the serve, winning easy points on Nadal is so crucial, hence why guys like Isner and Soderling had some success against him
The thing is that Nadal applies SO much top spin that when his opponent applies too much power on the ball, it usually goes out. For Delpo to win he should have almost perfect control of this. But again, nothing that he hadn't already done before. It is a promising match.
Qué extraña la frialdad de Cillic en el saludo al final de partido, Delpo y él son grandes amigos fuera del circuito.
Delpo is the number 4 in the world now and he has it well deserved even with the injury prior to Roland Garros could show a great recovery. I feel that he can beat Nadal but I think Nadal feels unbeatable in this tournament and only a very bad day can make Del Potro win but you never know.
Delpo have everything to win Rafa... Keep going
Unfortunately not the backhand. Rafa will exploit that weakness
Pablo Riquelme jajajajajaj argento boludo ajjajajajaj menuda paliza le.metio Rafa jajajaja
Im the One si .. terrible paliza le metió.. pero eso no quita que tiene el juego para vencerlo . En el primer set tuvo como 10 breakpoint y no aprovecho ninguno.. después se pajeo..
hows the stadium so empty??
Delpo is playing so well, may be he can sign to a surprise..
Excelente, keys afinado gran aspirante al título.
Were they booing at the end?
Please guys don't show the winner on the thumbnail...
where are the audience ? its 1/4 final right ?
Per me il migliore
Vamos Delpo !!!!
I'd love to see Delpo winning this title, he deserves another slam.
I really thinks he does! Vamos Del Pooo! But don't forget that if he did win this match, Thiem is playing great, and also the Italian sensation. Who ever wins of these 2, is going to be a very tough match
Go DelPo ! All the way....
match of same type is great!
Holy crap thats some real tennis!
Pls, dont use photo of winner match on preview - it is spoiler
Warm handshake.
The French crowd must've all went home to take a midday nap...
Viva del Potro!
Del Potro is dangerous Nadal better be ready
Not with such a fragile backhand.
Nadal couldn't ask for a bigger hole to exploit.
Rogério Comello Machado fragile backhand? someone hasnt been watching delpo lately, he has improve his backhand a lot, thanks to that he won indian wells, hell even in this match his backhand was better than his forehand, please dont post if you dont watch the matches, peace

Why is there like no crowd. I've never seen this in the quarterfinals at Roland garros before
Consti Retsiem the game was delayed because of the rain. It should've ended yesterday.
fairly tight match - del Potro hardly came into net at all but he didn't need to.
GO DEL POTRO!!!!
Delpo is mentally tough guy. He doesn't care the opposition is federer or nadal.
Why are there so many empty seats? What a waste
Adam Rubinson
tickets are tooooooo expensive in Paris. ..
michaela mitulet that and also most of the people that was there yesterday didn't have tickets for today. Thanks to the rain and the Roland Garros' terrible organization.
potro is the man can beat BIG FOUR
Giant
デルポトロ強え
3:40 Jeu et deuxième manche??
When he faces Nadal, his bulletproof forehead would be nonsense because most of the rally is going to his backhand, it will hurts him so bad
DP to win the French Open this year
siu c jajajajajajajjajajaja otro listo ajjajajajaja
Nadal can easily expose this pusher, Thiem is the best option for the AntiDull team. Also congratulations to Delpo, he looked like a drama queen in the end of the match.
Delpo's forehand is deadly. He will need to play his best to even have a chance at beating the second greatest of all time, for now.
GOAT.........is RF my friend;))))
I wanted Cilic to win.
Congrats to Del Potro though.
No one on the tour is better liked than del Potro.
Juan Martin Del Porto 💕❤️🥰🥰🥰
Felicidades al argentino, buena victoria ante el duro croata. Se viene un enfrentamiento más pesado contra el rey del polvo de ladrillo, será un buen Match.
I remember when Delpo was 18-19 , he was so fast. I don’t know why he’s too slow now , and feels tired during all the match even if he can sprintes sometimes.
Does anybody know how many hours Del Potro has spent on the court compared to Nadal?
Imagine Delpo wouldn´t have had his injury early in his career...
Alexey Pavlov Imagine if Nadal didn't have so many injuries
Yes, but Delpo was so young and he doesn´t have this playing style like Nadal. Of course if Nadal was more on Tour, he would have won more Slams, but this is fitness and activity sport...and Delpo was away for a really long time and couldn´t play...
Alexey Pavlov....... Imagine Rafa never had any injuries in his career .
Please take the title my gorgeous gentile giant. 😤🤤😍
VAMOS DELPOOO
Messi of tennis.
Just like the us open, delpotro plays a marathon match prior to his meeting with nadal
What is with this crowd? It's a men's quarter final and it's empty!!!
Delpo you have to beat Rafa. We need a knew king at RG
sunny days
why a new King?? 😃
sunny days never dumb jajajaja
As a die hard Nadal fan, a Delpo Vs Thiem final would be interesting. Either way Nadal & Delpo deserve to be in the final.
Delpo en la davis 2016: viniste confiado y se dio vuelta la tortilla.
Delpo en el RG 2018:ya te gane una vez, te voy a seguir ganando.
2 very different cilics, he played great against fognini couple days ago and played teribble today.
Del potro wasnt great eather but stil won.
Its getting easer for nadal day by day.
3-0 nadal against delpo
By this far...nadal won.t care less who his opponent would be in the semis and final.....he only aim 4 the title like nothing else.s matter.....and he will win it like 1000% sure
Jesus it takes a while for the seats to fill up at Roland Garros. 3rd seed vs 5th seed and dead until the 4th set...
Delpo today was very slow, tomorrow with Nadal will have to be much faster. Cilic is tired of losing with Delpo.
