Top seed Roger Federer failed to prove his mettle in the US Open final and lost to Juan Del Potro. Federer's defeat shattered his dream to become the first man in modern history to win six straight trophies at the same event
Fulfilling his dream, 20-year-old Potro disturbed Roger Federer 3-6, 7-6 (7-5), 4-6, 7-6 (7-5), 6-2 to pick up the US Open title on Monday.
Potro, the sixth seeded Argentine, stopped top seed Federer from claiming the trophy. Federer tried his best to keep Del Potro away from the title, but the Argentine failed all his tricks to comeback in the game and won the finals.
He thwarted Federer to become the first man in modern history to win six straight trophies at the same event.
Potro has become the first Argentine since Guillermo Vilas to win the coveted title.
