Re: Juan Martin del Potro

Del Potro comes of age

Roger Federer had contested 20 Grand Slam finals prior to his 3-6, 7-6 (5), 4-6, 7-6 (4), 6-2 loss to Juan Martin del Potro in the 2009 US Open final, but he had only taken defeats to one man, Rafael Nadal, during the five occasions he was unable to hoist the big trophy.

But the world No. 1 had never been asked to do what the 20-year-old Argentine required of him, which was to match his nuclear power over a four-hour period and find a way to hit through and around a younger man who was overmatching him off the ground, was serving bigger and returning with more confidence and force.

Federer had chopped down plenty of pure power players before and had beaten del Potro six straight times coming into the match, but the tall free-swinger from Tandil was less mature then, was lacking in fitness and didn't really believe that when crunch time came he would have more answers.

But outside of a nervous first set, he largely out-played one of the greatest players in US Open history, a man who had won five successive Opens and who had played so well from 2004-2008 that he was never forced to contest a five-setter in a final.

“Five was great, four was great, too,” said Federer, who won Roland Garros and Wimbledon this year but fell in Australia and New York. “Six would have been a dream, too. Can't have them all. I've had an amazing summer and a great run. I'm not too disappointed just because I thought I played another wonderful tournament. Had chances today to win but couldn't take them. It was unfortunate. I thought he hung in there and gave himself chances and, in the end, was the better man.”

Del Potro kept hitting out with his forehand, even though Federer's is oh-so-dangerous, but made the right decision, as he ended the contest with 37 forehand winners to just 20 from Federer. The Argentine had little trouble hammering into Federer's weaker backhand side with searing cross-court backhands, finally got enough rhythm with his two-handed backhand to be able to pass the on-rushing Swiss, and moved at times, like, well, Nadal.

During the sixth game of the fourth set, after chasing down a Federer blast near the wall and curling it for a forehand winner around the net post, he scooted around, high-fiving the crowd.

A quiet and modest guy, del Potro didn't back away from the occasion and reveled in it, waving to his large contingent of Argentine fans to get himself pumped up and looking up in sheer joy as they serenaded him with cries of “Ole, Ole, Delpo.”

He faced down Federer in the second-set tiebreaker by blasting an inside-out forehand winner to take the set. He survived a major hiccup in the third set, when he double faulted twice to lose the set.

“When I lost the third set, going to break up, I start to think bad things,” del Potro said. “It was so difficult to keep trying to keep fighting. But one more time, the crowd and the fans helped me a lot to fight until last point. I think I have to say thank you to everyone for that."

Down 4-5 at 30-30 and just two points from defeat in the fourth set, del Potro nailed an ace and forehand down-the-line winner. He then took the tiebreaker when Federer committed two uncharacteristic forehand errors, and in the fifth set, the 6-foot-6 del Potro stepped on the gas quickly.

He broke Federer early with a wicked forehand cross-court passing shot to 2-0, and at his third match point at 5-2, hit another heavy forehand that a defensive Federer couldn't handle.

He dropped onto his back, looking like a towering snow angel in search of the first fall signs of winter flurries and later gave a tearful thanks to his family and friends back in Tandil.

“My dream done. It's over,” said del Potro, who became the first Argentine male to win the title since Guillermo Vilas in 1977. “I will go home with a trophy, and it's my best sensation ever in my life.

"I didn't have the experiences in these types of matches. Last night was terrible. I couldn't sleep. I was playing the best player ever in such a big stadium and in a Grand Slam final, and it weighed heavily on me. But I knew I had to keep fighting because it was Grand Slam final, and the crowd was supporting me so much that they deserved it. They lifted me, and finally I was able to turn it around mentally. It was an amazing match, amazing people. Everything is perfect.”

Del Potro is only the fourth player since Federer won his first major at 2003 Wimbledon to break the Nadal-Federer stranglehold at the majors. One of the other men, 2005 Australian Open champion Marat Safin, will retire at the end of this year. That leaves 2003 U.S. champion Roddick, 2008 Australian titlist Novak Djokovic and del Potro to contend with the Swiss and the Spaniard, who have won 21 majors in that period.

Del Potro is the first guy to beat Nadal and Federer back-to-back at a major -- no small feat. Like Safin did to Pete Sampras back at the 2000 US Open, the young guy with a blinding haymaker knocked out a stunned older legend. He has the on-court tools and, apparently, the willpower.

That should clearly make him a significant part of the conversation in years to come in his beloved New York.

“Of course, I will be in the history of this tournament,” del Potro said. "That's amazing for me. I have new opportunities in the other Grand Slams to win because if I did here, if I beat Nadal, Federer and many good players, maybe I can do one more time.”

Re: Juan Martin del Potro

Del Potro matures into major player
By David Ornstein

http://blog.nj.com/njsports_impact/2009/09/large_delground14.jpg

Juan Martin del Potro has long been touted as a potential Grand Slam champion and many believe he possesses all the weapons to become a future world number one.

The first of those predictions has just come to fruition, making the second appear more likely than ever before.

Up against top-seed Roger Federer, who was targeting a 16th Grand Slam title and sixth successive US Open, the task facing Del Potro in his maiden major final was plain for all to see.

But four hours and six minutes later, the great Swiss had been humbled 3-6 7-6 (7-5) 4-6 7-6 (7-4) 6-2 and it seemed like we might just be staring at the future of men's tennis.

"I have many things to improve to be better," said world number five Del Potro, in a potentially ominous warning to his rivals.

"I would like to be top four, top three or top one in the future. But I have to play like today many, many weeks in the year.
   
JONATHAN OVEREND BLOG
This young man, 6ft 6ins tall with the fiercest forehand around, will be world number one - absolutely no doubt - almost certainly the next one, possibly sometime soon if this form continues

"I don't have the shape to do that but maybe if I'm still working and still going in the same way, maybe in the future I can."

With the men's game currently enjoying a purple patch in terms of both quality and competition, the 6ft 6in Argentine cannot afford to stand still.

But history suggests players who win Grand Slam titles in their early 20s, and before fully developing or reaching their peak, tend to materialise into serial champions.

Del Potro is soon to turn 21 and has a game for all surfaces, with a booming serve, laser-guided groundstrokes, a vastly-improved volley and majestic movement.

Provided he keeps injury free, controls his emotions and contains his occasionally-volatile temperament, the top four of Federer, Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic had better watch their backs.

"Rafa and I have had some epic ones over the years," said Federer. "Who knows, maybe Del Potro is going to join this as well."

Del Potro hails from Tandil - a modest rural city of 100,000 inhabitants, located 250km south of Buenos Aires - where he began playing tennis at the age of six.

Del Potro hails 'unbelievable' win

He learned his trade at Club Independiente under the stewardship of coach Marcelo Gomez, who also trained Tandil natives Mariano Zabaleta, Diego Junqueira, Maximo Gonzalez and Juan Monaco.

"Juan Martin has just made history in Argentine tennis," said an emotional Gomez, who watched the final on a big screen at Club Independiente.

"At the age of 20, he beats number one ranked Federer to win the US Open. I don't think he understands the magnitude of what he's just accomplished.

"We have a work method in Tandil. People here celebrated in the streets as if we had just won the soccer World Cup."

From an early age and throughout his rise up the junior and senior rankings, it was evident that Del Potro had the ability to go far - especially on hard courts, which have played host to five of his seven ATP Tour titles.

He claimed the prestigious Orange Bowl at the age of 14 and really came to prominence in 2008 by winning 23 matches and four tournaments in a row after Wimbledon.
Juan Martin del Potro
Del Potro struggled to digest the magnitude of his triumph

Del Potro was reduced to tears after that sequence was ended by Murray in the US Open quarter-finals and was also involved in a heated exchange with the British number one at the Italian Open earlier that year.

The South American, known as the Giant of the Pampas, seemed to have matured in time for the 2009 season and served further notice of his capabilities by beating Nadal in Miami, taking Federer to five sets in the French Open semi-finals and thrashing Nadal in the last four at Flushing Meadows.

But, as Murray knows only too well, winning that first Grand Slam title is easier said than done. The last 24 Grand Slam tournaments have been shared by just five different players.

"He has the personality, ambition and potential to get to the top of the world rankings," said Nadal's uncle and coach Toni. "He had an amazing year in 2008, so we knew he would turn into a dangerous rival."

As a boy, Del Potro actually preferred football to tennis - "when I was young I played soccer better than tennis, I don't know what I am doing here," said the Boca Juniors fan after beating Federer - but there is no doubting where his focus now lies.

His superb run in 2008 made him the first player in ATP history to win his first four titles in as many tournaments and the 12th teenager to win at least four titles in a season.

Ten of the previous 11 went on to reach number one in the world, and it looks like Del Potro could follow suit.

Re: Juan Martin del Potro

Juan Martín del Potro can extend golden age of tennis

Just when we thought that men’s tennis could not get any better, Juan Martín del Potro explodes into life in New York with a performance that must rank among the most impressive in the recent history of grand-slam competitions.

The final may not have had the emotional intensity of Rafael Nadal’s victory over Roger Federer in Melbourne in January or the longevity of Federer’s epic defeat of Andy Roddick at Wimbledon, but it was nevertheless a match for the ages.

Make no mistake, Federer was near the peak of his considerable powers at the Arthur Ashe Stadium on Monday night. Other than his first serve, which was not firing quite as he would have liked, his strokes were immaculate, his movements characteristically lithe and graceful and his competitiveness visceral. Over the course of the first set and a half, Federer seemed to be on course for an extraordinary sixteenth grand-slam event title.

But the manner of Del Potro’s fightback tells us much about the young Argentinian’s potential to become a multiple grand-slam tournament winner.

We have long known about the power he packs in those low-trajectory groundstrokes, but what we witnessed in the US Open final was a capacity to hit the lines with relentless accuracy, combined with a canny willingness to tease the arc of Federer’s backhand. This was not merely a masterclass in ferocity, but, at times, in finesse.

And in resilience. When Del Potro double-faulted twice in a row to hand Federer the third set, it seemed like the end of the road for the 20-year-old. Many have reached the final of a grand-slam tournament only to find themselves overwhelmed by the unique demands of playing the climactic match and, over the course of those two points, Del Potro seemed to dwindle from thrusting pretender to overawed novice. The demons were out in force, playing with his mind, testing his nerves, posing questions that seemed, momentarily, unanswerable.

But answer them he did, breaking serve in the fifth game of the fourth set and winning his second tie-break of the match. By the closing stages of the final set, Federer seemed thoroughly unsure how to adjust his strategy to counter the awesome power of an opponent whose stature was growing before our eyes.

The Swiss battled valiantly, as he always does, but by the final point he seemed outgunned and, against all expectation, out of ideas.

The great joy of men’s tennis in recent years has been in witnessing the wondrous contrast in styles and temperaments of its two leading practitioners. Federer and Nadal have given us a series of unforgettable duels — the poet going head-to-head with the warrior in what sometimes seemed less like a sporting rivalry than a philosophical dispute about how sport should be played. The joy was to be found not just in the aesthetics of their contests, but in a deeper, almost ideological, dialogue.

But while thrilling, this rivalry has long been accompanied by a fear that the men’s game will be thoroughly impoverished by the retirement (through injury or age) of either man; that what has become a golden age will end the moment the curtain falls on their long struggle for supremacy.

However, the improbable emergence of Del Potro alongside Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray ought to go some way to placating that fear. This is a golden age that may endure for a good while yet.

Del Potro’s most formidable asset is that he has the game to test Nadal, the player most likely to vie with him — assuming a full recovery from injury by the Spaniard — over the coming months and years.

Nadal’s most potent weapon is to be found in the vertiginous bounce of his groundshots, particularly his forehand on the diagonal, which force right-handed opponents to execute their backhands from around the vicinity of their necks.

But Nadal’s use of this tactic looked ever more forlorn as his semi-final with Del Potro wore on at the weekend. The Spaniard used devilish quantities of top spin, his follow-through sometimes culminating more than a foot behind his head, but on each occasion he merely succeeded in teeing up the ball for his 6ft 6in opponent.

Del Potro’s height is such that steep bounce causes him few difficulties, the Argentinian simply leaning into the ball with his double-hander. The 6-2, 6-2, 6-2 scoreline was Nadal’s most one-sided defeat in a grand-slam event.

Would an injury-free, crusading Nadal have been outclassed by Del Potro at Flushing Meadows? Has Federer the appetite to face down a new challenge from yet another young pretender? Will Del Potro’s hunger remain intact, having won his first grand-slam tournament title, and does he have a B-game to go with his brilliant A-game? These are some of the urgent and tantalising questions that have emerged as the tennis world has swung — once again — on its axis.

From a more partisan perspective, here is another: where does Murray fit in to the new order? The Scot was deeply disappointing in his fourth-round, straight-sets defeat by Marin Cilic and will be painfully aware that comparisons to Colin Montgomerie — who has failed to win a major championship in golf — have already started to be made.

This is more than a little unfair, given Murray’s relative youth, but with every passing failure in a grand-slam tournament, the monkey will grow ever larger on his back.

One thing is certain: the emergence of Del Potro as the most exciting young player in tennis has made Murray’s task that much harder.

Re: Juan Martin del Potro

Juan Martin del Potro: one giant leap

The Argentinian reached the summit with his win at the US Open and can do so again at the Barclays ATP World Tour finals.

Barry Flatman

The reigning US Open champion seems to have it all. When Juan Martin del Potro took the title at Flushing Meadows last month, aged 20, he became the first player to beat Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer back to back in a Grand Slam. There is every reason for the 6ft 6in Argentinian, the tallest winner of a major, to look down on all he surveys.

Yet ask his coach, Franco Davin, to describe his biggest challenge and the future appears more difficult for the world No 5. “The toughest job I have?” answers Davin, who guided the unseeded Gaston Gaudio to the 2004 French Open title but now sees the potential of Del Potro as gargantuan in comparison. “It is not to work on his shots, it is not to make him fitter. The thing I have to do every day, with almost every conversation, is to repeatedly make him believe that he has now earned the right to believe he is one of the very top players. It’s a battle to get Juan Martin to believe in himself. He feels hesitant, that’s his natural personality, and it’s important to change him.”

Perhaps Del Potro will feel at home when he arrives in London for the Barclays ATP World Tour finals, which start at the 02 Arena on November 22. He is at least guaranteed his longest stay in the city; in three visits to Wimbledon, he has never made round three. For the finale to the men’s tour, contested by the world’s eight best players and staged on a more convivial indoor hard court surface, he is guaranteed a minimum of three matches by the initial round-robin format.

The tournament venue will allow him to extend his knowledge of architecture, a subject he intends to pursue at college when his playing days are over. “I used to draw a lot and I think I was quite good but I don’t seem to have time now,” he says in Spanish. “The architecture of certain cities is very interesting. New York means something special but I also like to look at the design of great buildings in Paris and Rome.

“I don’t know that much about London’s architecture but I saw a picture of the 02 Arena the other day and it looks very different. We’ve been told it’s the best possible venue for indoor tennis.”

Like so many extremely tall men, Del Potro walks with something of a natural stoop. There seems to be a degree of insecurity and that becomes all the more apparent with each attempt to gauge his mood. He is certainly not extrovert by nature. Quiet and reserved, the struggle to make his feelings known in English must wait for another day.

“Yes, I am a shy person,” he acknowledges. “That’s the way I was brought up, that’s what I have always been. My family is the same, we are all quite withdrawn and like to live a tranquil life at home. Nobody wants to make a fuss and I try to learn from them. I have no intention of changing off the court because nobody can change their personality. But on the court now I am a different person. Once I step over the line, I feel I’m now a much more aggressive player and that feeling is getting greater all the time.

“However, it is true that I still don’t think of myself as one of the very top players. To me there is Roger, there is Rafa. Then there are other top guys like Murray and Djokovic who are the ones people are expecting to win a big title if the top two don’t.

“Me? I’m still in the pack behind the top guys. Sure I won the US Open, which has always been my greatest ambition, but I’ve come to the conclusion that it was a big surprise for me to give the performance I did in those matches against Rafa and Roger. I honestly didn’t think I was prepared sufficiently to do what I did.”

Such comments make Davin blanche. Admittedly, the US Open final was Del Potro’s first win over Federer after a run of six successive defeats, five of them without even taking a set.

But before New York, this year the Argentinian had won his two encounters with Nadal on cement in Miami and Montreal. On clay in Madrid, Del Potro broke Murray’s monopoly in their rivalry, which dated back to junior days.

“It’s a process [building confidence], a long process that requires patience,” says the coach. “But if he won the US Open with a lack of confidence, it only goes to show he can go a lot further. After working with him for nearly two years I know the way he thinks. Although he is reluctant to say he belongs at the top, there is another side that says he is determined to get there.

“Reaching the final against Roger and then to lose in five sets would have been a good performance. What he did showed there was much more. The mentality of South American players grows at a slower pace than Europeans. Federer was the same age group as Guillermo Coria and David Nalbandian but he matured much quicker. Then there was Murray, Djokovic, even Rafa. They are a year or so older than Juan Martin but established themselves much earlier. He turned 21 a few days after New York. He still has so much time.”

Del Potro’s desire not to cause a fuss was put to the test after his US Open win. He returned to a hero’s welcome in his home town of Tandil and more than half its population of 140,000 thronged the streets to welcome him as he was driven around on a fire engine. Then he was further lauded at the Bombonera football stadium of his beloved Boca Juniors. “Thankfully they did not put another microphone in my hand. But they made a special club shirt with ‘US Open champion 2009’ written on it and I kicked a few balls. That was okay.”

Like so many of his compatriots, Del Potro is engrossed in football. Last week he agonised as the national team flirted with disaster before qualifying for next year’s World Cup. The anguish was compounded when tendinitis in his wrist forced him to retire from the Shanghai Masters in a second-round match against Jurgen Melzer.

“Right now I am feeling very tired and beat-up after the experiences I have been through but it would have been so much worse if the team hadn’t won,” he says. “That would have been terrible. Argentina’s two World Cup wins were before I was even born but we have a proud tradition and believe we belong. Now I am happy for the team. Martin Palermo, who scored the [winning] goal against Peru, plays for Boca Juniors and is a friend. I also know Carlos Tevez and hope I get the chance to see him when I go to London.”

Davin can recall the national emotion triggered by the World Cup wins of 1978 and 1986 but insists he is not exaggerating by saying the reaction to Del Potro’s US Open title was not far behind. “I believe the people turned their attention from football to tennis because of what Juan Martin did,” says the former Argentina Davis Cup captain. “People back in Buenos Aires told me the Monday Juan Martin beat Federer was like the day of a World Cup final. The nation stopped.

“It has never been like that for tennis. But [it was] for Juan Martin. And he tells me he feels comfortable with this. So although he will not say he belongs right at the top, deep inside I think he now actually feels it.”

Del Potro commits to Queen's Club tournament

LONDON (AP)—U.S. Open champion Juan Martin Del Potro will play at next year’s Queen’s Club tournament in an effort to improve his grasscourt game ahead of Wimbledon.

The fifth-ranked Argentine beat Roger Federer in the U.S. Open final but has never advanced past the second round in three appearances at Wimbledon.

Del Potro says “this is the perfect opportunity for me to improve my game on the surface. Many players have done well at Queen’s in the past and then gone on to win at Wimbledon. I hope that this can happen for me also.”

John McEnroe, Jimmy Connors, Boris Becker, Pete Sampras, Lleyton Hewitt and Rafael Nadal have all won the Wimbledon men’s singles title after victory at Queen’s.

The Wimbledon warmup event is scheduled for June 7-13.

Magiczny czas Juana Martina Del Potro

Maj±cy 198 cm wzrostu, Juan Martin del Potro nazywany "Wie¿± Tandilu" jest najwy¿szym w historii tenisist±, który wygra³ turniej Wielkoszlemowy. Kim tak na prawdê jest cz³owiek, który oczarowa³ wszystkich podczas US Open?

Parada na cze¶æ argentyñskiego mistrza zaczyna siê na skrzy¿owaniu Road 226 i Newton Avenue, jednej z g³ównych ulic Tandilu. Juan Martin del Potro przez krótkie, ale bardzo cenne chwile wita siê z rodzin±, a nastêpnie wspina siê na jaskrawy czerwony samochód stra¿acki, by rozpocz±æ przeja¿d¿kê w¶ród mieszkañców jego rodzinnego miasta.

T³um wpatruje siê z zachwyceniem na nowego mistrza US Open. Del Potro w³a¶nie powróci³ z d³ugiej podró¿y, gdzie na nowojorskich kortach pokona³ Rafaela Nadala i Rogera Federer, zdobywaj±c swój pierwszy wielkoszlemowy tytu³.

Wielki powiew emocji i czas jakby siê zatrzyma³.

Emocje Del Potro zmieniaj± siê dramatycznie. Siedzi nieruchomo, a z oczu nap³ywaj± mu ³zy, bezgranicznego szczê¶cia. Obejmuje twarz obiema rêkami. Mieszkañcy jego Tandilu, dopinguj± go krzycz±c jego nazwisko, skanduj±c "Delpo".


„S³ysza³em tylko: " Delpo, Delpo" i to wszystko, nic poza tym. Te samochody, motocykle, to by³o szalone”, mówi del Potro, który teraz siedzi wygodnie na skórzanej kanapie w jednym z liczonych pomieszczeñ budynku rady miasta. „A potem, jak gdyby rzeczywisto¶æ powróci³a, a ja wci±¿ nie mog³em p³akaæ”

„Moi przyjaciele powiedzieli mi, ¿e prawie jedna trzecie ludno¶ci Tandilu tam by³a, nigdy nie zapomnê tego momentu, to najwspanialsze chwile w moim ca³ym ¿yciu.”, Tandil liczy oko³o 130.000 mieszkañców, natomiast szacuje siê, ¿e 40.000 zebra³o siê na ulicach miasta, aby powitaæ ich bohatera.

Nastêpnie 20-letni mistrz, da³ serdeczne przemówienie z balkonu, przyznaj±c, ¿e czuje siê, jak "prezydent". Po przemówieniu do t³umu, otrzyma³ klucze Tandilu od gubernatora.

Nastêpny przystanek ceremonii powitalnej Juana Martina to klub Independiente, w którym nowo koronowany mistrz US Open zacz±³ graæ w tenisa.

W¶ród kibiców stoi kobieta, Viviana, która trzyma rakietê, na której po³o¿one jest parê jajek. "Nie rozumiesz tego ¿artu? Oznacza to, ¿e jest to tenisista z jajami!” mówi, ¶miej±c siê g³o¶no.

Dzieci wspinaj± siê na drzewa, aby uzyskaæ lepszy widok "Delpo".

"Mój ojciec przyjecha³ odebraæ mnie w szkole przed zakoñczeniem lekcji" wyja¶nia 11-letni Alejandro. "Nie chce przegapiæ tej szansy, by zdobyæ jego autograf. Po³owa klasy by³a pusta, kiedy wyszed³em.

Fani maj± silne poczucie zwi±zku z del Potro, a nawet konkuruj± ze sob±.

"Znam jego siostrê od dziecka."
„Kupowa³em steki w sklepie miêsnym jego dziadka „
"Powiedzia³em Juanowi Martinowi, ¿eby nie gra³ w pi³kê, ale w tenisa ..."

Lista siê nie koñczy. Ka¿dy my¶li, ¿e wie o del Potro wiêcej ni¿ inni.

Del Potro gra³ w tenisa oraz pi³kê no¿n±. Ale w wieku 12 lat, musia³ dokonaæ wyboru i z zimn± krwi± - wybra³ tenisa. „Teraz jestem najgorszym pi³karzem jakiego kiedykolwiek widzieli¶cie. Straci³em wszystkie moje zdolno¶ci w tym sporcie," przyznaje z u¶miechem del Potro

Drugi na li¶cie popularno¶ci tej wielkoszlemowej, popo³udniowej euforii w Tandil jest Marcelo Gomez. On nie tylko trenowa³ del Potro od dzieciñstwa i przekona³ go, aby ten wybra³ tenis i rzuci³ pi³kê no¿ne±, lecz tak¿e Gomez wspó³pracowa³ z Mariano Zabaleta, Juanem Monaco, Maximo Gonzalezaem i Diego Junqueira.

Co takiego jest w tym mie¶cie, w Tandil, znajduj±cym siê na po³udniowy zachód od Buenos Aires, który by³ wcze¶niej znany tylko z gór i wêdlin?

Marcelo Gomez, trener w Independiente, odpowiada: "Ka¿dy mnie pyta, czy istnieje jaka¶ tajemnica Tandilu. Trzeba ciê¿ko pracowaæ ka¿dego dnia, to nasze przes³anie. Dzieciom rozpocz±æ proces starej metody gry na ¶ciance. Zachêcamy dzieci równie¿ do czystej i eleganckiej gry. Ka¿emy im zachowywaæ siê poprawnie. Czy widzia³e¶, ¿eby del Potro czy Monako rzucili swoje rakiety o kort w gniewie? Ja nie widzia³em.”

"Po zwyciêstwo Juana Martina, mamy setki e-maili z pro¶b± o zapisanie siê do naszego tenisowego klubu. Ludzie z Brazylii, Urugwaju, Chile, Ekwador pisz± do nas.", wyja¶nia Gomez. "Jest prawie sto dzieci na li¶cie oczekuj±cych. Musieli¶my zatrudniæ nowych instruktorów i planujemy budowê kilku nowych kortów".

Gomez, trenowa³ del Potro a¿ do roku 2007, kiedy wschodz±ca gwiazda tenisa rozpoczê³a wspó³pracê z Franco Davin, który zreszt± jest wychowankiem klubu Independiente.

Davin obecnie doprowadzi³ dwóch zawodników do tytu³ów wielkoszlemowych. By³ trenerem Gastona Gaudio, gdy ten zdoby³ tytu³ Roland Garros 2004 i obecnie trenuje del Potro, który triumfowa³ w tym roku na Flushing Meadows.

Del Potro ju¿ wyznacza sobie cele na przysz³y sezon i trze¼wo patrzy na swoje umiejêtno¶ci.

"Chcê zdobyæ wiedzê i rozwijaæ moj± grê. Mam zamiar poprawiæ wolej, serwis, my¶lê, ¿e idê w dobrym kierunki", mówi del Potro. " Mam dobry serwis, ale je¿eli nie podszlifujê swojego volleya, je¿eli nie nauczê siê koñczyæ punkty przy siatce, nie bêdê zbyt czêsto pokonywa³ najlepszych."

Del Potro obecnie zaserwowa³ 510 asów, a s± to statystki przed rozpoczêciem Barclays ATP World Tour Finals.

Poczucie na korcie i stabilna forma jest nie zbêdna do bycia liderem rankingu ATP. "Juan Martin na pewno postara siê byæ numerem jeden w niedalekiej przesz³o¶ci. On pokona³ ju¿ wszystkich najlepszych ch³opaków, z wyj±tkiem Novaka Djokovica. Do tego ma zaledwie 21 lat", mówi Davin. "Jednak wszyscy wiemy, ¿e to bardzo trudne zadanie. Mo¿esz przyjrzeæ siê historii Nadala: od zdobycia wielkiego szlema zacz±³ byæ jednym z najlepszych tenisistów ¶wiata".

Del Potro s±dzi, ¿e aby dorównaæ Rafaelowi Nadalowi czy Rogerowi Federerowi czeka go d³uga i ¿mudna praca. "Aby byæ jak oni, bêdê musia³ wygraæ US Open co najmniej dziesiêæ razy w roku", ¿artuje. "Oni (Federer i Nadal przyp. red) nie maj± tylko czterech czy piêciu dobrych tygodni, oni graj± niesamowicie przez ca³y rok. Ja natomiast jestem nie stabilny, odpad³em w pierwszej rundzie turnieju w Tokio ".

Juan Martin Del Potro to skromny tenisista z Tandil. Nie czuje siê gwiazd±. ”Nie by³em gotowy na to, co przysz³o po US Open, " przyznaje del Potro. "Ledwo mog³em zobaczyæ moj± rodzinê, da³em niezliczon± ilo¶æ wywiadów, by³em nawiedzany przez paparazzi, jakbym by³ gwiazd± telewizji. To nowe do¶wiadczenie, muszê siê chyba przyzwyczaiæ. „

Davin lubi del Potro za to, ¿e potrafi skupiæ siê na pracy, ale ostrzega, ¿e jest on tak skromny, ¿e gasi pragnienie sukcesu. "Cz³owiek musi wierzyæ w siebie! Bi³ Federera, Nadala i Murray’a po raz pierwszy w swojej karierze, a nie nielicz±cych siê tenisistów!".

Zgodnie z oczekiwaniami, zachêcaj±ce s³owa pochodz± tak¿e od rodaków del Potro. "To co on osi±gn±³ jest przyk³adem dla m³odszych dzieci," mówi David Nalbandian. "Jednak nie musi siê ¶pieszyæ i nie naciskajmy na niego. On musi mieæ czas, ustatkowaæ siê, a nastêpnie biæ wy¿ej rozstawionych ch³opaków."

Juan Monaco, d³ugoletni przyjaciel, my¶li, ¿e del Potro ma przewagê nad Murray’em czy Djokovicem. „On ma lepszy, bardziej wydajny styl gry. Czas poka¿e, ale to zdecydowanie przyk³ad na przysz³y numer jeden rankingu."

Legenda tenisa, Guillermo Vilas dodaje: "Osi±gaj±c wielkoszlemowy turniej w tym wieku, ¶wiadczy o tym, z jakim cz³owiekiem mamy do czynienia. On ma wiêcej w sobie ognia ni¿ Murray, ale musi graæ idealnie, mo¿e go pokonaæ".

Juan Martin wyci±gn±³ ciekaw± teoriê, na temat swojego przodownictwa w rankingu ATP, pó³ ¿artem mówi: "Jestem jeszcze m³ody. Bêdê gra³ dalej na tym poziomie , a potem Roger, a nastêpnie Rafa odejd± na emeryturê, bêdê lepszym graczem i wtedy mogê byæ nr 1 ".

Ju¿ dzi¶ swój pierwszy mecz zagra Juan Martin Del Potro w koñcz±cym sezon turnieju w Londynie. Czy wygra, czas poka¿ê. Eksperci mówi±, ¿e ma on potencja³, ale ma te¿ czas. Faktem pozostaje jednak, ¿e Juan Martin Del Potro to cz³owiek skromny, z poczuciem humoru. Jest to wysoki cz³owiek, a jego wzrost odpowiada jego talentowi. Mistrz US Open 2009 to po prostu – Juan Martin Del Potro z magicznego Tandil.

Re: Juan Martin del Potro

Tevez umówi³ siê w Londynie z Del Potro

- Ma siê pojawiæ na moim nastêpnym meczu - zapowiedzia³ wizytê Carlosa Teveza w hali O2 jego rodak Juan Manuel Del Potro. Argentyñczyk wygra³ w drugim grupowym meczu po tie-breaku z Fernando Verdasco 6:4, 3:6, 7:6 (7-1) i nie straci³ szans na awans do pó³fina³u World Tour Finals.

Pi³karz Manchesteru City zapowiada³ siê w Londynie ju¿ wcze¶niej. W pierwszym meczu Del Potro uleg³ Andy'emu Murrayowi i gdyby powinê³a mu siê noga równie¿ w drugim spotkaniu, przedwcze¶nie po¿egna³by siê z turniejem. Ze spotkania Argentyñczyków nic by zatem nie wysz³o.

- Denerwowa³em siê, bo gdybym przegra³, jecha³bym do domu - mówi³ Juan Manuel Del Potro. - Rozmawia³em z Tevezem ostatniego wieczora. Mo¿e bêdzie na moim nastêpnym meczu - doda³, ¿artuj±c, ¿e mimo wszystko ciekawszy dla snajpera "The Citizens" by³by mecz z udzia³em lidera ¶wiatowych rankingów Rogera Federera.

Juan Martin Del Potro, którego ¶wiat pozna³ na dobre dopiero w tym roku, wtorkowym zwyciêstwem nad Verdasco przybli¿y³ siê do pó³fina³u. ¯eby tego dokonaæ, bêdzie musia³ ograæ samego Federera. Ale Argentyñczyk ma receptê na Szwajcara. Ogra³ go w finale tegorocznego US Open, siêgaj±c po pierwszy wielkoszlemowy tytu³. - To zwyciêstwo odmieni³o moje ¿ycie. ¯ycie jest piêkne! - powtórzy³ jeszcze raz Del Potro.

Re: Juan Martin del Potro

Konferencja prasowa Juana Martina po zwyciêstwie nad Rogerem Federerem:

Read Juan Martin Del Potro's press conference after beating Roger Federer in their round robin match.

Q. When exactly did you know you had qualified? At what exact moment did you know?

JUAN MARTIN DEL Potro: Franco told me I qualified after like 25 minutes after the match, because nobody knows what happen.

But, well, I qualified (smiling).

Q. Can you sum up your performance against Roger Federer tonight.

JUAN MARTIN DEL Potro: I play good tennis today, similar than New York, a little better in some moments of the match. I serve good in important moments. I take my opportunities. That's what I have to do against the best player of the world: take the opportunities and try to play the best tennis.

Q. Can you describe your emotions at the end of the match? Must have been a strange sensation to beat Roger Federer but don't know if you qualified.

JUAN MARTIN DEL Potro: Yes, it was very strange. But I don't want to talk about that because the people who has to made the numbers to see who qualify, they knows what they did. Now is the past. I'm in the semifinals. I happy for that. But was strange.

Q. We saw Carlos Tevez?

JUAN MARTIN DEL Potro: No, we talk last night. We talk this morning. I know he's gonna come to watch the match. Maybe if I play Saturday night, he will be here.

Q. Federer said he didn't feel sorry about all the people that were supportive of Murray. What about you?

JUAN MARTIN DEL Potro: I'm sorry?

Q. Federer told us he don't feel sorry about all the people supporting Murray. How about you? Do you feel sorry he's not in the game now?

JUAN MARTIN DEL Potro: I didn't understand what you say.

Q. Do you feel sorry for Murray's supporters?

JUAN MARTIN DEL Potro: No, this is the sport. Just two players has to qualify. Maybe for the local public is bad to not have the opportunity to see Murray in the semis, but they will see Federer, for sure, and another good players.

Q. What are your thoughts on the other group matches tomorrow, possible semifinal opponents?

JUAN MARTIN DEL Potro: Well, all players are playing very good this season. They are very strong. Djokovic for me could be the most dangerous. But Robin has a good serve. Davydenko is so fast. Everyone has good things to play against me.

But I will try to play like today.

Q. You said you play as well, maybe even better than the US Open. Do you feel it's one of your best matches in your life?

JUAN MARTIN DEL Potro: No, I don't think so. Well, my best match was the final of the US Open. But I feel better again since the US Open, and that's important for the next matches.

Q. Do you like the round robin format or is it too confusing for players and spectators?

JUAN MARTIN DEL Potro: No, it's okay. Is difficult to do these number because Roger, me and Murray won two matches, and unfortunately Murray has to -- he's out. Maybe in the other group, Djokovic win two matches and maybe happen the same. So it's strange for us, but we like it.

Re: Juan Martin del Potro

Del Potro uratowa³ fina³ sezonu

Ma³o brakowa³o, a faworyzowany Juan Martin Del Potro podzieli³by los Rogera Federera. W pó³finale World Tour Finals bliski pokonania Argentyñczyka by³ rezerwowy Robin Soderling. O awansie do wielkiego fina³u sezonu decydowa³ tie-break. Del Potro wygra³ 7:6 (7-1), 3:6, 7:6 (7-3).

Soderling mia³ w ogóle nie odegraæ w Londynie wiêkszej roli. Jeszcze kilka dni przed rozpoczêciem imprezy w O2 Arenie Szwed móg³ siê jedynie cieszyæ z miana rezerwowego. Wszystko zmieni³o siê, gdy z rywalizacji wycofa³ siê Andy Roddick.

Pogromca Rafela Nadala z tegorocznego Rolanda Garrosa wskoczy³ na miejsce Amerykanina i wykorzysta³ ¿yciow± szansê. W dwóch pierwszych meczach ogra³ zdecydowanych faworytów grupy. Najpierw ponownie za³atwi³ Nadala, a potem Novaka Djokovicia. Zatrzyma³ siê dopiero na Niko³aju Dawidience, ale i tak razem z Rosjaninem przeszli dalej.

Soderling wygra³ pierwszego seta po tie-breaku, w drugim rozstawionemu z pi±tk± Del Potro uda³o siê odrobiæ straty. Po sze¶ciu gemach trzeciej ods³ony zanosi³o siê na klêskê Argentyñczyka. Soderling prze³ama³ rywala i wyszed³ na prowadzenie 4:2. Nie wytr±ci³o to jednak Del Potro z równowagi. Triumfator tegorocznego US Open spi±³ siê na ostatnie gemy i doprowadzi³ do drugiego w tym meczu tie-breaka.

Potem posz³o mu jak z p³atka, bo pierwszy punkt przegra³ dopiero przy stanie 4:0. Wypracowana na pocz±tku przewaga wystarczy³a do zwyciêstwa. Nie dosz³o zatem do drugiej niespodzianki w pó³fina³ach Word Tour Finals, bo wy¿ej rozstawiony Del Potro nie podzieli³ losu lidera ¶wiatowych list Rogera Federera, który sensacyjnie przegra³ z Dawidienk±.

- Gra³em przeciwko bardzo, bardzo mocnym rywalom. Dwa mecze wygra³em, dwa przegra³em. Pokaza³em, ¿e mogê z nimi rywalizowaæ - podsumowa³ Soderling, który mo¿e byæ zadowolony z wystêpu w O2 Arenie.

- By³o blisko... - g³êboko odetchn±³ Del Potro, któremu uda³o siê wyj¶æ z nie lada opresji. Argentyñczyk by³ pe³en uznania dla rywala. - Ma za sob± ¶wietny sezon. ¯yczê mu wszystkiego dobrego w kolejnym - komplementowa³ Szweda.

Robin Soderling po raz pierwszy w karierze finiszuje w najlepszej dziesi±tce. Apetyt ro¶nie jednak w miarê jedzenia. - Chcê byæ silniejszy. Chcê byæ szybszy. Chcê byæ lepszy - zapowiedzia³ po osi±gniêciu pó³fina³u World Tour Finals.

Re: Juan Martin del Potro

Bohaterowie sezonu: Juan Martín del Potro

Juan Martín del Potro by³ bezsprzecznie jednym z bohaterów sezonu 2009. Argentyñczyk po raz pierwszy wyst±pi³ w wielkoszlemowym finale i na Flushing Meadows od razu ¶wiêci³ wielki triumf. Niezwyk³y wyczyn jak na tenisistê, który jeszcze na pocz±tku lipca ubieg³ego sezonu nie mia³ na swoim koncie ¿adnego tytu³u i by³ poza czo³ow± 50 rankingu.
Jego droga do chwa³y rozpoczê³a siê w lipcu 2008 roku, gdy wygra³ imprezê w Stuttgarcie. Potem triumfowa³ w trzech kolejnych turniejach, a jego seriê 23 kolejno wygranych spotkañ przerwa³ dopiero w æwieræfinale US Open Andy Murray. Del Potro w ci±gu niespe³na dwóch miesiêcy awansowa³ z miejsca 65. do czo³owej 20, a sezon ukoñczy³ w Top10 i zwieñczy³ go wystêpem w Masters.

2009 rok Argentyñczyk rozpocz±³ od wygrania turnieju w Auckland i æwieræfina³u Australian Open. Bardzo dobrze wypad³ we wszystkich wielkoszlemowych turniejach za wyj±tkiem Wimbledonu, z którego w II rundzie wyeliminowa³ go Lleyton Hewitt. We French Open doszed³ do pó³fina³u, przegrywaj±c po emocjonuj±cym piêciosetowym boju z Rogerem Federerem. Kilka miesiêcy pó¼niej zrewan¿owa³ siê Szwajcarowi za tê pora¿kê po równie wspania³ym spotkaniu. Do tego zdoby³ jeszcze tytu³ w Waszyngtonie i w ci±gu 1,5 roku zaliczy³ siedem triumfów w cyklu ATP World Tour.

Del Potro jako 21-letni tenisista zosta³ pi±tym najm³odszym triumfatorem US Open w erze Open. Ten magiczny dla siebie sezon zwieñczy³ drugim wystêpem w Turnieju Mistrzów. Tym razem doszed³ a¿ do fina³u, przegrywaj±c z rewelacyjnie dysponowanym Niko³ajem Dawidienk±. Obdarzony znakomitymi warunkami fizycznymi Argentyñczyk bardzo szybko mo¿e dostaæ siê na sam szczyt rankingu ATP. Fina³ US Open, w którym przez pó³tora seta nic mu siê nie uk³ada³o pokaza³ jego wielki atut, jakim jest odporno¶æ psychiczna.

Olbrzymia determinacja, nies³ychana wola walki i nadzwyczajne opanowanie - Argentyñczyk to po prostu urodzony zwyciêzca. Poczu³ wielk±, zewnêtrzn± si³ê, w finale US Open nie prosi³ Federera o najni¿szy wymiar kary
. Przeczeka³ napór Szwajcara i w odpowiednim momencie uderzy³. Zachowa³ siê jak do¶wiadczony zawodnik, a nie jak nowicjusz. Del Potro w porównaniu
z ubieg³ym sezonem, w którym wyp³yn±³ na szerokie wody, jeszcze poprawi³ swoj± grê
. Je¿eli maj±c ¶wietny serwis
, pora¿aj±cy forhend i bardzo solidny oburêczny bekhend poprawi grê przy siatce, to w przeci±gu dwóch sezonów ma szansê zostaæ numerem jeden na ¶wiecie
jako pierwszy argentyñski zawodnik.

Guillermo Vilas by³ wiceliderem ¶wiatowego rankingu i zdoby³ cztery wielkoszlemowe tytu³y. Czy w Argentynie pojawi³ siê kto¶, kto bêdzie w stanie przyæmiæ jego dokonania? Na razie del Potro zosta³ drugim po Vilasie (1977) argentyñskim triumfatorem US Open.

http://www.sportowefakty.pl/tenis/2009/ … del-potro/

Specjalnie wyt³u¶ci³em te 2 zdania, bo siê z nimi absolutnie zgadzam, Del Potro to mo¿e byæ przysz³y nr1
