Del Potro does it again


Juan Martin del Potro today has successfully defended his Washington title after having to stretch and fetch against top seeded Andy Roddick. The Argentine had match point at 6-3 in the third set tie-breaker, but sealed it only on his fourth opportunity at 7-6. The match was concluded at 2 hours and 30 minutes, with the score being 36 75 76(8).

"I’m very happy to win another title and defend this championship," said del Potro. "[Roddick is in] much better condition this year. His game has improved a lot. I beat him, but the difference was so close."
