2009 MIAMI MASTERS

QF    

           RAFAEL NADAL       v   JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO

6-4, 3-6, 7-6   

Juan Martin Del Potro scored a dramatic victory over world number one Rafael Nadal to reach the semi-finals in Miami.
The tall Argentine takes his place in the last four of a Masters event for the first time with the crowd-pleasing victory.

It was also his first win over Nadal at the fifth attempt.
In an atmosphere more akin to a South American soccer match, Del Potro, who lost to Nadal in Indian Wells last month,

was roared on by hundreds of Argentinian fans who sensed an upset.

Nadal saved three match points, with an ace bringing him back to deuce, and then when Del Potro hit the net and then drove long the set went to a deciding tiebreak.
"I had the match, it was amazing disaster," Nadal said of the defeat.
