Delbonis Considers Victory Over Federer Best Moment

David Nalbandian’s countryman, Federico Delbonis, has said that getting better of Roger Federer in a match of the German Open last year has been the best moment of his career so far.

That tournament was played in Hamburg and Delbonis had beaten Federer in the semi final round there and that too in the straight sets. Although both of those sets had gone into the tie breaker and could have gone either way but, the credit can’t be taken away from the Argentinean by saying this. His concentration was absolutely phenomenal on that day and the way he carried himself through those two tie breakers suggested a lot about him. He was up against one of the legends of the game, but, he didn’t get panicked even for a moment.

Delbonis didn’t go to win that tournament though as in the final he suffered defeat against the Italian player Fabio Fognini, but, the tournament had already become memorable for him because of the victory that he secured against Federer.

In one of his interviews recently when Delbonis was asked which has been the best moment of his short professional career till now, the 23 year old player said, “It was in Hamburg last year when I had managed to win against Roger Federer. That was like dream come true.”

When asked which has been the worst day that he has come across in his career so far, Delbonis said, “It’s a little bit hard to answer. I have had a number of bad days in my career and I can’t pick one out of them to be the worst.”

Delbonis has been one of the best emerging players on the tour in the last one year or so. He has risen up very quickly in the world rankings. Currently, he is ranked 45^th in the world.
