True, gives me some hope he will stand up tonight, but that was a SF, not a final. Click to expand...

You are counting out Del Potro too soon, you do realize that Roger is going to be 29 next year and probably almost done winning slams, and guys like Del Potro will be winning them soon, maybe even sooner then you expected.I think once the slams start spreading out between more players, people will actually miss the consistent thrashing that Federer gave everyone lol, we are taking for granted the most dominant performance of the open Era in a 5 year period.Are you going to be more disappointed if Federer keeps winning, or if a guy like Murray wins a slam? Would not also not make the ATP a joke? lol Because lets face it hes only 22 and bound to get lucky once or twice.Hardcourts are different because the ball does not kick up as high on clay, this is why Del Potro can probably beat Nadal on that surface, the ball kicks up perfectly to his strike zone and the top spin will do nothing even on clay, he can still bash the ball, all Nadal will be able to do is defend and hope he makes the error but hes too consistent most of the time on his rallies.As far as hardcourts go, the low slice which Federer is really good at kills tall players all the time, i think it wont be a 5 setter this time.
