Saving 3 match points, he won 6-4, 6-7(8), 7-6(2) to grab his first Masters title at Indian Wells. Congratulations !!! Heart of a lion ...u want in your corner when in trouble ! ...what a Champion - Boris Becker (@TheBorisBecker) Outstanding tennis by both players, its never over till you win that last point. Great fight in that 3rd set from Delpo. Congrats - Rohan Bopanna (@rohanbopanna) WoW...that’s the best match...love the determination/fight/spirit from both ...way to go ... - Boris Becker (@TheBorisBecker) a follow up note, now has 9 wins over #1 players.. that’s the most in history (by 2) for a man who hasn’t been #1 himself.- Chris Fowler (@cbfowler) You have to send a big congratulations to Del Potro. Has
played a huge level this tournament he really wanted it this week and made sure
he fought back from oblivion, top tennis and fight, what a tournament from the
big man. - Chris Stevens (@TheLadfromAus) What can I say, Del Potro completely earned that one. As a Fed fan I'm sad, but all the appreciation for Delpo's game.- Sheron (@misssheron) del Potro is showing Roger that he is getting old and Roger is having a hard time accepting that. - JJames604 (@joseph604) :
- 1st Masters 1000 title
- 1st Argentine to win
- 1st win vs No.1 since 2016
- 2 titles in 2 weeks
- 11th straight win- Daniela Dolce (@dolce_daniela) If Del Potro can keep this level of fitness and BH, he is an outside threat at RG this year. The rest of his game is almost back to 2009 levels. Serve is arguably much better.- Shanky (@TenniceFan) Del Potro is great, and deserved to win a great match over the greatest player- Bruce Arthur (@bruce_arthur) Del Potro beats Federer for the Indian Wells title. Dedicates his victory to his dog, Cesar, who passed away last month (:)- Luis Miguel Echegaray (@lmechegaray) Juan Martin del Potro is such a legend. After all he's been through this is something special. This match has basically been like his career trajectory. Apt.- Joe. (@ProdigyRep) Has there been a better ATP final in the last year? If so, I'm blanking on it. Del Potro beats Federer 6-4, 6-7 (8), 7-6 (2) for his first Masters title. - Ana Mitrić (@ana_mitric) Naomi Osaka & Juan Martin del Potro won Indian Wells, I'm so happy with these winners!- Laurén. (@_SerenaChelski) So cool that Juan Martin Del Potro beat Federer at Indian Wells. Let’s gets some competition going. Who knows how many titles this guys would have won if he didn’t get hurt years ago. Hope he’s back for good- David Waldstein (@DavidWaldstein) JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO WINS HIS FIRST MASTERS 1000 TITLE! BEATS THE GREAT ROGER FEDERER TO WIN IT SAVING 3 MATCH POINTS! ABOUT DAMN TIME IS ALL I CAN SAY! - Prashant Paul (@PrashantSport) delPotro reached the highs of winning the US Open in 2009. He then had the lows of multiple wrist injuries which required surgery. He said he was depressed that he couldn't play Tennis. He's worked so hard for this.- Joe. (@ProdigyRep) After a long walk in the desert wilderness of an injury-laden career, Juan Martin del Potro comes to the parched lands of Southern California and finds a first Masters title six months short of turning 30.- Matt Zemek (@mzemek) Grande, del Potro.
Juan heckuva comeback.
Juan Shining Moment, too.- Matt Zemek (@mzemek) Great match. Can't believe that is Del Potro's first Masters 1000 title. If he stays healthy this could be a big year for him- Simon Cambers (@scambers73) one thing—and probably the last thing—that Miami has over Indian Wells: there will be no crowds ever cheering against Juan Martin Del Potro.- Ricky Dimon (@Dimonator) Love how Del Potro just brings emotion to the court - to himself, his opponent, the crowd. There's no one else like him. I so, so hope he can have at least a couple of seasons without injury- Eleanor Crooks (@EleanorcrooksPA) My kid is so happy Del Potro won. She said “Fed can go pout while he shaves now”. - Shanna ? (@PinaCocoblog) DEL THORO !! Unbelievable. He looked done and out when Roger got those match points and look at him ! First Masters 1000 8 So much deserved. Federer totally broke down in the breaker. But what a freaking battle it was. - Carole Bouchard (@carole_bouchard) Holy crap Juan Martin del Potro finally won a Masters. - Courtney Nguyen (@FortyDeuceTwits) "I am still surprising myself and I want to keep surprising the tennis tour" - Juan Martin del Potro- Christopher Clarey (@christophclarey) Federer is 69-6 since 2017.
He had match points in 3 of these 6 losses:
Donskoy (Dubai 2017)
Haas (Stuttgart 2017)
Del Potro (Indian Wells 2018). - Ilya Ryvlin (@ryvlin) Juan Martin del Potro saves three match points and ends Roger Federer's 17 match winning streak. Wins the BNP Paribas Open and his 1st Masters 1000 title 6-4, 6-7 (8-10), 7-6 (7-2). Few big titles more well deserved- Christopher Clarey (@christophclarey) Non-European players have now won two straight Masters titles:
Paris - Sock
Indian Wells - del Potro
Doesn't seem like much, but before that, European players had won SIXTY-NINE straight Masters titles.- Ben Rothenberg (@BenRothenberg) Soak it in, Delpo
