The Greatest Tennis US Open Finals in History
2009: Juan Martin del Potro vs Roger Federer
Argentina is a land of contrasts. Sometimes they go through unimaginable experiences, while other times they manage to touch the pinnacle of glory. But one thing is certain: they do it with astonishing ease. Soccer, boxing, field hockey, and tennis, they excel in all these sports.
In the case of tennis, to be more specific, in this century and at the US Open, it was Juan Martin del Potro who stood out. The player from Tandil entered the tournament not as the main contender, as the Big Four of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Andy Murray were present. However, he was considered a serious contender.
As the tournament progressed, del Potro managed to advance and eventually eliminated Rafael Nadal in the semifinals, and in the final, he defeated the five-time champion, Roger Federer. The match against Federer was filled with dramatic moments, culminating in a five-set battle with scores of 3-6, 7-6 (7-5), 4-6, 7-6 (7-4), and 6-2. This victory marked del Potro’s first major triumph in a Grand Slam.
In summary: Argentina can go from being the worst to being the best with the same ease. And with Juan Martin del Potro, they managed to reach the pinnacle of success.
2012: Andy Murray vs Novak Djokovic
Four hours and fifty-four minutes. It may seem like an eternity, but in a match like the 2012 US Open final between the British player Andy Murray and the Serbian player Novak Djokovic, all that remains is to sit back, like popcorn, and enjoy one of the greatest games in the tournament’s history.
Just looking at the first set, which lasted 87 minutes, and with the tiebreak alone lasting 24 minutes, it foreshadowed a dramatic and incredibly thrilling encounter. And that’s exactly what it was.
It was because Murray had a two-set lead, but “Nole” leveled the match at two sets each. Just recalling the Argentine final at Roland Garros in 2004 as the most recent precedent in general.
But the fifth set was a complete tennis display by Andy Murray, leaving the then-US Open champion, Novak Djokovic, almost without a response. The final score ended up being 7-6 (12-10), 7-5, 2-6, 3-6, and 6-2 in favor of the British player, who became the first from his country to win the US Open in 76 years.
When you talk about four hours and fifty-four minutes in a US Open final, you’re talking about pure history. Just like Mats Wilander and Ivan Lendl did, and as Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic achieved. In summary, it may be a long time, but every second invested in such matches is worth it.
1980: John McEnroe vs Bjorn Borg
The year 1980 witnessed the rivalry of the era between Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe. After an unforgettable final at Wimbledon, the Swedish player aimed to complete his “triple” of Roland Garros, Wimbledon, and the US Open with a victory on the hard courts of New York.
The match had two significant phases. The first two sets belonged to the local player, who faced difficulties in the first set but comfortably won the second. On the other hand, in the third and fourth sets the Swedish player dominated those sets, and managed to recover.
In the fifth set, “Johnny Mac” showcased his talent and ultimately defeated Borg, securing his second Grand Slam title and second US Open of his career. In the process, he ended Borg’s quest for the triple crown.
The peak of the rivalry between McEnroe and Borg was in 1980, which resulted in a close balance between the two in 1981. However, it does not diminish the fact that their matches will remain etched in the memories of all tennis enthusiasts.
1995: Steffi Graf vs Monica Seles
Talking about Steffi Graf vs. Monica Seles means discussing one of the most thrilling rivalries in tennis, primarily because every time they faced each other, a trophy was at stake.
For the 1995 US Open, there were two off-court elements that played a decisive role. One was the attack on Monica Seles in 1993 in Hamburg, carried out by a spectator that nearly took the Yugoslavian’s life.
On Graf’s side, everything wasn’t rosy either. Her father was imprisoned for non-payment of taxes on her earnings. It was truly a chaotic situation.
In New York, the chaos unfolded as two European players engaged in an intense match, captivating the spectators with their exceptional performance. Ultimately, the German player prevailed over the Yugoslavian with set scores of 7-6 (8-6), 0-6, and 6-3.
Sometimes life provides those “off-court motivations” to overcome obstacles, and Steffi Graf’s triumph stands as a remarkable achievement against Monica Seles, who, although didn’t secure the title, demonstrated that talented individuals are born to shine.
1984: Martina Navratilova vs Chris Evert
If there is a “Super Clásico,” as the most important match is called in soccer in each country, in women’s tennis, it would undoubtedly be Martina Navratilova vs. Chris Evert.
Both players competed in a total of 80 matches, with Navratilova having the upper hand over Evert. In the early matches, Evert’s dominance over Navratilova was evident. However, Martina started winning, and winning, and winning… and winning.
The turning point, or rather, the moment when the tide shifted in favor of Navratilova, was precisely at the 1984 US Open. Both Navratilova and Evert were tied 30-30 in their head-to-head matches, and it was in the 61st match that everything changed.
Interestingly, the match reflected their history. Evert won the first set, but Navratilova managed to turn the tide in the second and third sets, not only in that particular match but in their overall head-to-head record.
There is no doubt that each “Super Clásico” has a story to tell, and the shift in dominance between Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert is something that stands out above the rest.
