How the hell did I miss this?? ONE OF THEIR BEST MATCHES, EVER...

[Rafa4LifeEver]

How did I not watch this one?

The drama, tennis quality & tension is off the charts.

Some of the DTL backhands Delpo made in set 1 & 2, just wow....

 

[Deleted member 783101]

Delicious, absolutely delicious.
The matches between these two players are so heated, so tense, yet they have insane respect for one another. Give me this clay matchup over Mugristotle ANYTIME.

 

[Third Serve]

Yup, it’s a good one. And one of the last matches Delpo played before his extended hiatus.

The Schwartzman match in the next round was also pretty solid.

Jesus Christ!!

Maybe you were too occupied celebrating that bagel Freshdal dished out to dead tired Djoko in the final ?

I felt bad for Djoko in that final. All the grind in past 2 days just to face the revenge of Nadal.

Unstoppable force versus immovable object.

You can't help but notice that one Argentine fan in both of the matches cheering loudly for his compatriots, but unfortunately for that gentleman, Nole is the biggest heartbreaker on tour.

 

[Swingmaster]

You probably watched it but forgot about it. It was a big deal at the time.

 

[RunDatGame]

Wow Delpo was red hot, hard to imagine him playing better then this on clay. I miss him a lot, his game is too good when on.

 

[merwy]

So many times a player fails to take a match point against Novak, unbelievable

RG 2009 SF. That might be the best single match he's played on clay.

But this is a great one and it's definitely flown under the radar in the couple of years since it happened.

I actually did not watch most of rome 2019 except for the final, gentleman.
Just checked the scoreline. But this suddenly popped in my youtube suggestions and totally bamboozled me.

Especially the first match point. It was a floating sitter in open court. That was a Tsitsipas alike shank from Delpo.

FO 2009?

 

[RS]

Del Potro RG 2009 ~ Stan RG 2015.

 

[Red Rick]

Why not?

It is consistently used to prop up both Del Potro as a great clay player and Feds winning RG run as some super great stuff.

 

[Red Rick]

Del Potro RG 2009 ~ Stan RG 2015.

Stan beats Delpo so bad he probably ends up injured again.

Del Potro kept it competitive for 4 sets. Murray of the RG 2016 final was done after set 1 in the final.

Djokovic playing more passive helped Stan tee off it would be harder vs a flat hitting Del Potro zoning.

Like, zomg I have to defend this Del Potro mythical peak by finding this match Murray didn't play well yeah good argument mate.

In hall honesy I can't decide if Delpos best clay win is Cilic, Nishikori, or Soderling in a 250.

Del Potro showed high peaks at slam lots of time with all his injury problems. What he did on clay career wise is not a knock on what he did in RG 2009 and he often pushed a in-form big 3 in slam matches harder than Murray did.

Del Potro USO 2009 > Murray USO 2012 also.

Ha, don't bother with Red Kid. The nerd uses stats to prop up his beloved Pushrray and when people do the same thing to show him that his whiny hero was nothing but a Hewitt + a dozen of runner up plates, he leaves the thread and never replies again lol

Nah Murray is a great player not just a pusher.

If you by "pushing harder" mean "lose" except for one single run where Nadal was dogshit anyway and Federer outarroganted himself, then sure.

Better match than the wind fest USO 12 final.

 

[thrust]

True! If I recall correctly, Nadal had an easy afternoon match that Saturday, whereas, Novak had a long 3 set night match with Schwartzman which gave Nadal a big advantage the next day. The same sort of scheduling happened at this year's Rome Tournament.

 

[Third Serve]

That match is not under the radar lol.

2nd half of the comment was talking about the Rome match

hard to go under the radar when it's #1 argument for Del Potro choking mug tbh

 

[Deleted member 771911]

Was good.

This is vs 2011 Nadal in Bo5, Davies Cup, playing in Spain.
