One of the best tennis matches I have seen was the 2009 US Open final. I have seen almost all the tournament matches and I was cheering for Juan Martin del Potro ‘’ La Torre de Tandil’’ as they call him because his I from Tandil, Argentina and because he is like 6 ft tall and he is really handsome.
I remember that day being so excited I start watching the match like around 1:00 and it finished at 6:00 I spent those 5 hours in my couch I did not move at all. I was so nervous because it was his first grand slam final and he was playing against Roger Federer one of the best tennis players and Del Potro have loose all the matches against him so it was a pretty hard match.
I was watching the first part of the match with my sister but then she left with her friends and let me surfing alone. The first match was so hard for Del Potro it just looks like he was going to loose because the set ended 6-3 and that is so no good. But the second set was better he won it so things were looking better for him.
I celebrate every point so hard that I looked like a crazy person. I remember I want it to go to the bathroom so badly but I could not get up, the match was so good that I did not want to loose anything so I wait it a lot until they went to commercials.
The third set was for Federer sadly. I was starting to feel that he was going to loose but then he won the forth set so they were tie so the one that won the fifth set will win. I was so nervous. In one point of the match Federer should have been expelled from the match for using improper langue but he wasn’t. The fifth match was so long I was staring at the television like a crazy. My mom came to see the last part of the match with me and she say to me several times to calm down!
The last point of the match was the best Del Potro won!! But I stay like a statue watching the television and my mom say to me ‘’ He WON! Do something you celebrate all the points but these con on react.’’ Then I stand up and star screaming and jumping all over the place. Then my door bell rang and I listen my sister voice so I ran down the stair and for bothering her I put a face like sad and she got scared because she think he had loose but I scrammed ‘’ HE WON’’ she run up stairs so fast that her friends stay there looking at each other wondering what happened.
When he won he was crying. I don’t know if you have seen the movie Wimbledon but at the end when the tennis player goes running to the public to get with his family well Del Potro do the same thing every time I saw the movie I remember of the match.
Del Potro gained his highest ranking at the ATP he was the number 4 tennis player. It was a really memorable day for Del Potro because he won his first grad slam and he beat Federer for the first time too. He says he admired him and that he was happy because he always dream of wining the US Open.
I would always remember that match as the best!
