Juan Martin del Potro's Fan Forum

unlucky delpo-sad to see you didn't get further but what can you do. . . i hope your wrist and foot injuries get better soon.

there is still no doubt in my mind that you will be a great champion and will be king of hard court one day and you will undoubtedly make it to world number one!

love you delpo : ) xxx

you can win the auzzie open-go juan martin!! you are amazing!

love you!!

well done for winning your first match today-one down, only a few more and you'll have won your 2nd grand slam : P!!

i read somewhere if you win this then you'll be the 2nd person ever to have won your first two grand slams consecutively-YOU CAN DO IT DELPO!!

ok nobody can call him a cheat, he played amazingly in the us open final, he played better than federer, had a better attitude than federer, and called hawkeye when he felt that it was an unjust call.

he deserved to win and beat federer fair and square. federer is a great player and is an all time great, probably the greatest but sometimes he is outplayed and his opponent deserves to win and thats what happened in the us open final.

and he does have all the right characteristics to become a great champion, he is already an outstanding player and is only 21, he has a great mentality, he treats his opponents with respect whether he wins or loses-as shown at the us open saying he has completed one of his dreams, but the dream to be as good as federer he still has to work at.

ciao Juan Martin....

la tua testa ti far� volare in alto vedrai, non smetteremo mai  di credere in te.. sempre e comunque.

non sai quanto e cosa ci hai regalato.. un giorno se ci incontreremo te lo diremo.

con grande ammirazione e sostegno.

dalla grande Roma,

Cristiano, Laura e Dito!!

when you get clean aced, you have to accept it whether or not a paper cup falls over. You did not stand up and raise your hand. You waited for the serve and it went past you then started claiming you stopped play. That is unsportsmanlike and shows lack of respect to the opponent. The referee was weak and allowed this to happen.

When the point is over and Roger is just about to sit on his chair, YOU CANNOT CHALLENGE THE CALL. Again the referee was weak and allowed this to happen. Instead of offering an explanation (for which he did not have) he told Roger to stop talking.

HAWK EYE HAS A MARGIN OF ERROR LIKE ANY OTHER METHOD. THE REFEREE CAN OVER-RULE HAWK EYE IF THE BALL IS OBVIOUSLY OUT AND HAWK-EYE SHOWS A 1MM LINE TOUCH.

When the referee is so clearly incompetent giving all decisions in the favour of the underdog and allowing illegal challenges, it is no wonder why Roger lost the will to live. It is so disappointing to watch major sporting events refereed by weak individuals, it ruins the game.

That said DP you won, winning is winning albeit winning ugly.

I had two dreams, One to win the US Open and one to be like Roger. One is done, but I’ll have to fight for the other.”

- a marvellous thing to say! It is the same spirit as Neil Armstrong's famous first words on the surface of the moon.

Congratulations!
