Wouldnt be the biggest upset, i also think that Del Potro is one of the main players now and at 20 is maturing well I think Federer is on top of his game right now and was amazing against Djokovic last night, the h2h is not much of a confidence booster for Del Potro 6-0 in Feds favour but I think you can look beyond that a little as Del Potro is still young and I think now is coming to his peak, similar to how Hewitt matured alot earlier than Federer and was something like 8-2 in h2h with Roger but since Fed won his first Slam he has beat Hewitt I think something like 17 times on the bounce.


Im gonna stick with Federer in straight sets, I think he will just have a bit to much tonight for Del Potro but like you said in a earlier thread Big H i would put the house on him winning a slam before Murray.


On another note, Federer has made the last 4 of every grand slam for 22 times on the run, that is amazing thats over 5 years!!! People still doubt he is the best ever, to put it in context the best after that is 10 by Ivan Lendl.
I think that is his most impressive statistic, even more than the amount of slams he has won. I mean it's almost unbelievable that somebody could stay injury free (even though he had a period of quite bad illness) and at that level of form without any blip!
