Roger Federer vs. Juan Martin Del Potro



Federer and del Potro have not met in Grand Slam play since the Argentine famously defeated Federer in the final of the 2009 US Open.

That victory marked the last time del Potro had a significant victory in a Grand Slam match as he suffered a wrist injury a few months later.

Although he has been back on tour for over a year now, del Potro has not been as lethal as he was prior to the injury, and his efforts against Federer will be insightful.

If del Potro can defeat Federer in a Grand Slam quarterfinal match, then the Argentine will certainly have taken a major step toward silencing his critics.

However, if Federer wins, then del Potro's run at the 2012 Australian Open will not look that impressive. Despite making the quarters, del Potro has beaten no one more talented than Philipp Kohlschreiber—a veteran player but one who has never made it to a Grand Slam quarterfinal—at Melbourne Park this year.
Del Potro and Federer have met nine times in the past, with the Swiss Maestro taking seven of those matches. They have met four times in majors with Federer going 3-1 in those efforts, including a straight-sets victory in the quarters of the 2009 Australian Open.

The only match that the two players have played since del Potro came back from his wrist injury was a best-of-three-set affair at the Cincinnati Masters in 2011.- http://bleacherreport.com
