Result:
Del Potro defeated Federer with 3-6, 7-6 (7/5), 4-6, 7-6 (7/4), 6-2

Argentina’s Juan Martin del Potro ended Roger Federer’s five-year unbeaten reign at the US Open in five dramatic sets to win his first Grand Slam title. The shocker made Del Potro the first South American to win the US Open men’s crown since countryman Guillermo Vilas in 1977, winning in his first Grand Slam final appearance to deny Swiss world number one Federer a 16th career Slam crown.

The 20-year-old sixth seed twice fought back from a set down to win 3-6 7-6 (7-5) 4-6 7-6 (7-4) 6-2. Del Potro is the first man other than Rafael Nadal to beat Federer in the final of a Grand Slam tournament. Del Potro, who turns 21 next week, snapped Federer’s 41-match unbeaten streak on the Flushing Meadows hardcourts to win 1.85 million dollars and destroyed the Swiss superstar’s aura of US Open invincibility.
