Del Potro said that Federer himself once picked that five-set battle in New York as a match he would want to go back in time and try to win. However, Del Potro lightheartedly stated that he would never want to give the Swiss great a rematch. The Argentine stunned five-time defending champion Federer in the 2009 US Open final, coming back from two-sets-to-one down to win 3-6, 7-6(5), 4-6, 7-6(4), 6-2.

Del Potro reminisced about the match during a recent interview with LA NACION, saying that he never thought he would win a Grand Slam title after losing to Federer in five sets in the 2009 French Open semifinals, until he did so at the US Open. “Two of us in that semifinal at Roland Garros 2009 felt that it was the final, because Nadal had lost, he had never won the tournament, I had never won any Grand Slam and it was a match to five sets, where I had a thousand chances to win," Del Potro said.

"I didn't and I thought I was never going to beat him again. But I did it in the US Open final, where he had won the trophy five years in a row. He once said that one of the games he would like to play again in his career was that final, but obviously I don't [want to] give him a rematch," he added.
