Del Potro triumphs in Washington
Print Edition
When Juan Martin del Potro is healthy, and his shots are on target, he’s as dangerous as they come on the sort of hard courts used at the US Open.
Getting his game in shape ahead of the year’s last grand slam tournament, the top-seeded del Potro solved John Isner’s big serve and pulled away for a 3-6, 6-1, 6-2 victory in the Citi Open final on Sunday, winning his third championship and 14th consecutive match in Washington.
“His forehand is widely regarded as maybe the best in the world,” Isner said. “I couldn’t do anything about it. I actually wasn’t really surprised. I’ve seen him do that a lot of times. That’s what he does. He’s got a lot of talent, and a lot of talent on that forehand side.”
In 2009, del Potro followed up a title in the nation’s capital with a trophy at the US Open, which starts in three weeks.
In the women’s final, seventh-seeded Magdalena Rybarikova of Slovakia beat unseeded Andrea Petkovic of Germany 6-4, 7-6 (2) to win the title for the second consecutive year. The 43rd-ranked Rybarikova is 10-0 in Washington, where she’s won half of her four career titles.
In Carlsbad, California, Sam Stosur won the Southern California Open on Sunday for her first title in nearly two years, beating top-seeded Victoria Azarenka 6-2, 6-3.
