Marat Safin Clone!

Juan Martin Del Potro is the new Marat Safin.

The 20-year-old has just won the US open just like Marat once did at the same age. Del potro also won the top player of his time, Roger Federer. History tends to repeat itself as Marat won Sampras in 2000.

Big Serve, amazing performance, 2.02 meter height and a lovely smile, that's who Juan Martin is.

The Argentine just Capped an impressive 2009 with a 3-6 7-6 4-6 7-6 6-2 win over Roger Federer in New York.
