Juan Martin del Potro vs Dominic Thiem in a classic comeback! | US Open 2017 Round 4

Three games in two sets; that was all that an ailing Juan Martin del Potro was able to muster at the start of his fourth-round match against sixth-seeded Dominic Thiem. In obvious distress, hit hard by a virus, the 24th-seeded Argentine staggered through the start of the match and often appeared to be out on his feet through those first two sets (which took just over an hour to play). It was painful to watch del Potro’s obvious suffering and few - if any - figured he would even be able to finish. Indeed, if he’d had a corner man, the towel would very likely have been airborne.
But the individual nature of tennis tends to reward individual toughness, and after those first two sets, the remainder of the match was a telling testament to the toughness of the 2009 US Open champ. Somehow, some way, del Potro was able to raise his game above his illness, and once he found his feet, he turned his second wind into a gale.

[@humanbeing2420]

I was at this match. My sister and I snuck down to the front just before the match began, found 2 empty seats about 5 rows back and sat down, thinking for sure we'd get booted any minute. We never did. What a match.

[@maheshsukumar]

this is argentine football fans have landed up in New York....so much crowd support for Del Po. He's always a crowd favorite.

[@drumdude46]

Who can't LOVE this guy!...So happy for him. the 'Gentle Giant'. and "What...a Giant'..he is! Back from 'two down???....That...is some serious resolve and stamina. the 'wonder boy'...wasn't ready at this time. I believe now, he's come more of age....( Thiem) and has earned his bones. What a great match!

[@333santy333]

He says: "this is enough for me", then in quarters upset Roger. What a beast!

If not of his injuries.... HE'LL BE ONE OF THE GREATS...Even Better than Djoker or Rafa! But still he's playing and it makes all tennis fans so happy

[@chinnanv333]

Some body types are just too prone to injuries. There is a reason why he was injured like 70% of his career. So "if not" is more meaningful if it was some freak accident or something like that. Not in chronic conditions. Then even you can be the great.

[@fahadhk95]

Finally!! ❤

[@josecosoleto2763]

Delpotro est un vrai gentleman des cours !!

[@mittalvinayak12]

Del Potro's wild Argentinian fans definitely had a huge impact. Definitely a classic but really felt for Thiem when he lost this one

[@Laland_1196]

Dominic thiem looking like schwartzman in thumbnail 😀

[@andreeduardo2828]

I thought the same thing :)

[@nathanberstein6297]

This match is wonderful also like the channel us open here in KZbin

[@davidluck1678]

Thiem seems to do this a lot: blazing start, then folds. He blitzed Nadal 6-0 in a first set, looked all-galaxy.....punted the 2nd and lost, choked the 3rd, won the 4th in a tiebreak, and ended up losing a 5th set tiebreak.

[@snoozezone3355]

Could you please upload Wawrinka vs Evans 2016

[@mainemceachern1521]

DelPo has a world-class mentality and the heart of a lion, and after battling his virus and a feisty Thiem, he then disposed of Roger, only to fall to a rampant Rafa. Legend!

I think it is the fastest court among the four and consistency for holding title in a row is very difficult on this court. Sometimes I wandered how on earth Roger did 5 time in a row

Hope not but we may be Watching the Best 2 players who have ( won 1 Grand Slam only ) by end of Career.. Since AO 2017 To AO 2021 Grand Slam Winners.. Dominic - US Open 2020.. Roger - AO 2017/18 - Wimbledon 2017.. Rafael - French Open 2017/18/19/20 - US Open 2017.. Novak - AO 2019/2020/2021 - Wimbledon 2018/219 - US Open 2018.. Two Warriors..

that would be against Nadal.

[@stayfocused3175]

Remember this match very well. The atmosphere and crowd support for delpo was eletric. Domi did a big mistake in letting Delpo back in the match. He seemed done and completely out but once he had his food back in the door his serve and forehand was fireing! Some more womens classics would be great. Venus vs Hingis 2000 SF, Venus vs Mauresmo 2002 SF, Dementieva vs Mauresmo 2004 QF, Pierce vs Dementieva 2005 SF, Venus vs Jankovic 2007 QF...for example ;) That would be so awesome! :)

Delpo and Nadal both timewasters, can't watch unless edited. Just look at the guy's body language-- even in the first 5 minutes! You wonder how he even got out of the bed but he is here playing a five setter!
