Kim Clijsters (BEL) - CHAMPION

The US Open has a new champion, after Juan Martin Del Potro pulled off an upset victory in the final,
defeating world number 1 Roger Federer to take the title. It was the third Grand Slam final in 2009 to go to
five sets, as this final followed the Australian Open and Wimbledon in going the maximum distance.
An early service break set Roger Federer up to take the first set, but Del Potro would prove a tougher nut
to crack in the second set. The set would go for 12 games without a service break, and although both
players had numerous opportunities the break would remain elusive. And so it went to a tie-break, and
Del Potro took crucial points off the Federer serve to put the match back in even terms.
The third set saw Del Potro pull off an early break, but Federer wasn't finished yet, bouncing back to
break back in the next game; and another break in the 10th game gave the top seed the set.
The match would go back on level terms an hour later after an epic fourth set. Del Potro achieved an early
break, but Federer broke back and the set continued until 6-6 and the tie-break. And so the set went into
a tie-breaker, and it was Del Potro who took the iniative early to take the tie-break and the match was at 2
sets apiece.
The match was in the balance, and surprisingly it was Del Potro who took control of the match. Federer
had no answers as the young Argentinian had the sniff of his first Grand Slam title. Del Potro broke twice
to take the set 6-2, collapsing to the ground in both exhaustion and triumph after taking the 2009 US
Open title.
