Juan Martin del Potro
Del Potro, 2009 US Open champion and the tower of Tandil
Overview
The gentle 6 foot 6 Argentine stunned Federer and Nadal back to back to win the 2009 US Open at 20. Wrist surgeries wrecked years of his prime, yet he returned to take Olympic bronze in London 2012, silver in Rio 2016, and another US Open final in 2018. His forehand remains one of the biggest ever struck.
