    Now it's a contender for my top five matches of all time.

    Nothing in tennis beats a fourth set tie-break, nothing. One man with match points, the other with set points.

    I've been a fan of his for many years now. Such a shame that he has pretty much spent the whole of his career since winning the US Open either injured, or recovering from injury. Back when he won the US, he was better than Murray and probably on a par with Novak. And it was Federer who he beat in that final.

    After Roger, Del Potro is my favourite player on the tour now that Roddick has retired.

    It's massively ironic that my tennis coach thinks Del Potro is boring!

    I seem to remember that Del Potro beat Djokovic the last time these 2 played here, during the Olympics.

    Yes, in the bronze medal match. Del Potro also took Federer all the way in the SF.
