Del Potro Heart
What an unbelievable result for the young Juan Martin Del Potro. His win over Federer is one of the best US Open title matches that I have ever seen, and he truly proved to be a solid contender for years to come. This reminds me of when Marat Safin beat Pete Sampras for his only US Open title, and it appeared as though there would be a changing of the guard. Similar to Marat, I believe Juan Martin will win another major championship, but unlike Marat, Del Potro likely won't stop at just two Grand Slam wins. It was another magical US Open, and look forward to the year end WTA and ATP events.

This years US Open was great for tennis and brought out some new players in both the mens and women's games. Exciting to see Kim Clijsters win. Del Porto seems to a great kid and very humble. Good for tennis. Taylor Dent was back for a few rounds. Oudin from Georgia was a great story beating all the screaming, crying Russian players. And lastly maybe the Williams sisters should do some community service???? Have you ever heard of them doing charity work with their own money? It has always ticked me off that they were coached by Rick Macci and many others and never said thanks. There parents did not develop them, other top American coaches did. The event with Serena reminded me of the incident years ago at the tournament in Indian Wells.
That's one thing my colleagues and I, on the court or in the media world agree on.....being a grateful person, or gentleman is very special.....one that truly comes to mind is the great Rafael Nadal. Hope all is well GO TENNIS...HC
