Juan Martin Del Potro Defeated top seed Andy Roddick to win the Legg Mason Classic in Washington. Del Potro won the match 3-6, 5-7, 7-6(6) in 2 hour and 30 minutes long battle to get his sixth career title.
Roddick started the match well and won the first set comfortably 6-3. He saved the only break point he faces and converted the only one he got. However in the second set Roddick was broken to give Del Potro 5-3 lead. Roddick came back with a break but that was not enough as he was broken again and Del Potro won the set 7-5. The third and final set was fit to be the deciding set of the tournament where none of the players were broken and the set rolled to the tiebreaker.
In tiebreaker, Roddick saved 3 championship points as he got back from 3-6 to 6-6. However he could not stop the Argentine from winning his second ATP tour title of the year as he wrapped up the tiebreaker 8-6.
This was second straight final defeat for Roddick as he lost the final of the Wimbledon Open, the last tournament he played.
Now both the players will leave for Montreal to play the next ATP 1000 tournament there alongwith other top players.
