Federer vs Del Potro 2009 Men's semi-final | Roland-Garros Classic Match 

Del Potro is an incredible talent who unfortunately has been plagued with injuries

46:20 Roger's fourth consecutive RG finals. He was a very good player on Clay court.

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

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.

This was one of the most important matches of Federer's career. Del Potro threw everything at him. It was torture watching this.

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..

Need to upload : Federer Djokovic 2011 semis Thiem nadal 2019 final

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.

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.

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.

Many ppl think it was an easy title win for Roger, but he could have lost twice en route to his title..

What a match played by Del potro....what a player! I'm so grateful with him for the spectacular tennis he showed

41:09 no cheering from Roger's dad after Delpo's double fault, A true classy act.

One of the 3 clean Roland Garros in 15 years.

32:25 is the most bazooka forehand Ive ever seen. Federer facial expression was just as astonished. That was power.

There is also Federer Haas that was close ! Federer most important title

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!

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

He knows once he won this match he’s effectively won the whole tournament. Legend

I do not care what anyone says. Just look at Federer play here. Absolute poetry. What grace, what poise. Beautiful tennis

Dude, delpo’s bh used to be nasty

Gotta respect and like J-MDP. He's one of those rarest of specimens: the fearsome, good guy.

The good old fashion times when players actually improve their performance through out the year, I miss those days

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.

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.

Two great matches of these two at RG: this one and 2012.

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

23 Grand Slam semis is absolut unreal

33:53- Roger hits a winner, off a winning shot from Juan.

The Emotion Federer lets out after Winning Match Point was Something i felt in my Bones...Watched it like 5 times already...This Video is put together Beautifully...Really intimate and well done

This channel does the best highlights package.

36:51 is this some secret coaching stuff? lol

Miss those sleeveless tanks.

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.

the disguise shot by Delpotro is unreal, always gets Roger.

one of the best games of RG.

Amazing tennis! 🎾🔥I think that Roger Federer is the most stylish player, but much love to the Argentinian for always playing his heart out. To the satisfaction of the crowd and fans all over the world! 🇦🇷🇨🇭

Roger plays the most beautiful tennis

Thank you, wonderful match!

Matches that should be uploaded: Nadal-Soderling 2009 R4 Coria-Gaudio 2004 Final Federer-Haas 2009 R4 Maybe Paire-Herbert 2019 R2

Impresionante el juego de ambos. Del Potro una precisión y fuerza increíble.

As a Fed fan I like more this suffered Majors than the easy ones. It feels better

Beautiful game...the real final !

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.

Beautiful.

Great introduction, but possibly include the round, like semi final or quarter final, but it flowed really well, and the match was awesome!!!

I love them both

My two favorites players ever

Federer capitalised on his first and last chance to win the French Open. Hard luck Del Potro!

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!

33.53 one of the greatest shots in tennis ever

Probably the most hurting lost for me as fan of Delpo, he knew that if he win this match he was the champ. Anyway later was happy for Roger.

Please upload full match

Bravo Roger! Toutes nos felicitations! Superb tennis! 😊👍👍👍

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!

2021 champion RF

Del potro should have won 5-6 slams. Maybe more if he didn’t get injured. His power was insane.

Finally RG doing the right thing. I might subscribe

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.

Juan Martin is arguably the nicest guy in ATP in history.

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.

ما اريد قوله اني كنت محضوض لاني عايشت حقبة فيديرار ونادال هذا الحقرة لن تتكرر لقد جعلتونا نحب هذه الرياضة شكرا لكن ❤

Little did he know that Delpo would later go on and beat him at the US Open Finals.

19:44 loves the roars of intensity

42:43 there's no way this ball was out. Awesome match though, from both of them.

Very nice highlights without the spoil like wimbledon

2009 and 2017 must be Roger's most clutch years

Please upload Roland Garros 2012 match of Federer vs Delpotro also.

classic match

wow Federer's quickness of reaction at 12:35 is amazing

Federer is so BIG that I believe even argentinians wanted him to win that day, nothing against Delpo but that was Federer only chance to get the Carrer Slam. Would be a tragedy of the sport if he didnt get it

Please upload FULL LENGTH VIDEOS

what a great athlete and sportsman DelPotro, shame about all his injuries.. :(

OMG 😱 ❤❤❤

Please upload 2009 final

Full match plz

Роджер Федерер и Хуан Мартин Дель Потро! Великолепные красавцы, играющие в фантастический теннис. Зрелище редкого эстетического удовольствия. Как жаль, что Дель Потро так недолго радовал своей ярчайшей игрой, как жаль.

The court was amazing to watch, the new version is odd

Federer's date with destiny, this tournament.

Era una señal de lo que pasaría en el US Open...

Djokovic definitely benefited from this guys injuries. After USOpen 2009 win, even Federer saw him becoming easily world number 1

Ohh man, i just read that this was there sixth meeting and until then del petro had yet to win a single set against Roger. Unbelievable dominance by Roger against a high class opponent..

I really can't understand why they're not uploading Soderling's victory over Nadal @RG 2009.

Grande del Potro un caballero.

Anyone know the music they use in the background of these videos?

At 17.33 the great Drummer Manu Katche... idol....

33:43 crazy point by Fed and heavy mjolnir forehand by Delpo at 42:16

Don’t cry because it is over. Smile because it happened.

Delpotro should win 2nd set tiebreak to avoid extending the match to 5 sets his fitness can't endure that

23:22 Federer is adorable

jeez watching the replay it really looks like fed was super lucky to win this. At the time i don't remember thinking that

We need to upload the legendary biggest upset in tennis history Soderling vs Nadal in 2009

Que drive, x Dios!!!

That IBM sign was so in the way, federer played so many dropshots there

12:45 surreal to see del potro bigger size from the far side of the court. Makes Federer look very short.

Juan was the man. Maybe my favorite player in the past 15 years.

Wow, DelPo's backhand really was pretty good back then

Why is that IBM box sitting right next to net post. DP had to avoid it a few times chasing down a drop shot

Del Potro was a fantastic talent. Shame injuries spoiled his career. This was a tough match for Federer. This was one of the hardest French Opens he had, with the exception of not playing Rafa in final.
