Which two players will make the next big rivalry?

I'd say this one aswell, not only because of the great match up, but because of the needle that exists between them aswell.

ive always missed exactly what happened on that one. didnt murrays mom say something to jmdp while on court and jmdp then turn around and say something??

Yes, there was bad blood between the 2. Murray yelled at Delpo for disrespecting his mom. It was an incredibly tense and suspenseful match.
 
Are you watching the final right now? As dramatic as their USO 2008 encounter! Great stuff.

I am! Absolutely loving it, del Potro has hit probably 5 of the fastest groundstrokes I have ever seen! The needle seems to be growing with del Potro taking the injury time out just before Murray served to stay in the match and then the toilet break when Murray had all the momentum.

It was at one of the clay court Masters at Rome, del Potro appeared to try and take Murray out when he was at the net which angered Murray. Murray gave him a dirty look as they changed sides and del Potro came out with a cheap shot about Murray's mother always being there watching. It's also worth noting that a few games later del Potro left the court in tears after injuring his back, there's karma for you.

Was it in Rome really? I thought something happened at the USO as well...

Yes, at the Foro Italico in Rome, in USO they almsot made out at the net after the match, i guess they sorted their issues out.

That was where the big one happened yeah. I remember at the US Open, del Potro seemed to play better and better but after the point was finished he looked like he was about to collapse. The match went on for the best part of 2 sets after and he was still playing great, which was a bit odd.

Nice to know they did. I kind of remember the end was emotional. Maybe they showed a flashback of the Rome incident during the USO match and that's how I got confused.
 
True! They had a good chat at the net in one of the Masters Series earlier this year aswell.
Thats right, think it was in Miami or Madrid, theres no bad blood anymore between the two.
