Juan Martin del Potro took down the five-time defending champion Roger Federer to capture the US Open title this week.
The Argentine player kept the pressure on the player many hail as the greatest in tennis history, one he had never beaten in six prior attempts, to complete a dramatic 3-6 7-6 (7-5) 4-6 7-6 (7-4) 6-2 upset after four hours and six minutes.
“A dream came true,” said a tearful Del Potro. “I don’t have words to explain how I feel.”
