US Open 2009 (Tennis) where Del Potro did what many thought unlikely, if not improbable.He dethroned Federer as the US Open champion, ending his five-year reign as the King of Queens.He came from behind with 3-6, 7-6, 4-6, 7-6, 6-2.Del Potro, just 20 years old, he certainly earned it taking out six time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal in straight sets in the semifinals before defeating Federer in the final.At the end of the match,he collapsed on the court for happiness and with tears in his eyes he took the trophy.For me personally,Federer was doing everything well, except serving.Del Potro also struggled with his first serves early and also seemed to not be moving well around the court. The Swiss was sharp with his shots early, mixed them up well and continued to be aggressive coming to net where he was dominating points and also never faced a break point.Unfortunately (for me because I'm one of Federer's fan)there was officially a new King of Queens which is Juan Martin del Potro.
