“Yes, I have a little bit of pain, but I can play, I think I have many good things right for the next match.”  Juan Martin del Potro

“It’s very difficult to keep trying, keep going. You have to be focused every point, every time, and try to take your chance. I had my chance in the last set.” James Blake

“I came in from the first point with 100% concentration. Before the match I was so tired, I was scared about how I would start the match, how I could play against Del Potro.” Davydenko

“I had the day off before the semis and Nikolay plays Friday to Saturday, so it’s different. But he played unbelievable tennis, he beat me in a good way.” Juan Martin del Potro

The cream of the men’s game are in London for the biggest indoor tennis event ever staged.

The eight finalists do their best to fit in with the London surroundings – Fernando Verdasco, Juan Martin del Potro, Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray, Nikolay Davydenko and Robin Soderling

Its a sad day for all die-hard fans of Roger Federer as his 5 year supremacy at the US Open comes to an end as the 20 year old Argentinian Juan Martin del Potro defeated Federer with a 3-6, 7-6 (7/5), 4-6, 7-6 (7/4), 6-2 victory. Had Federe won, he would have become the first man since Bill Tilden (1920’s) to win the tournament six times in a row.

Del Porto played a strong match, astonishing many as he won his first grand slam. His win was aided by Federer’s unfortunate and less the stellar service. Nonetheless, this was riveting match to watch and cudos to Del Potro for bringing down the 15 time winner .

Win or lose, in the hearts of his fans, Roger Federer will forever remain the greatest player in the history of tennis.
