Del Potro's fh certainly looked devastating on TV and very CONSISTENT. If the other 3's fhs are better, I wonder how it feels like being on the receiving end of those. Anyway do you folks agree with Roger's fh comments?
Q. Could you talk about his forehand, just talk about it and how it compares to other big forehands on the tour.
ROGER FEDERER: Well, it's different. I guess he hits it well on the forehand side. The inside‑out is good, too. But I mean, there are some better ones out there. He definitely strikes it with great pace and good margin, too. Sometimes he hits crazy ones, too, but that's what happens when you go for it a lot. He has a great technique at backhand. Rock solid.
Q. The other ones, you've spoken highly of González's forehand. Who are the others, the better ones?
ROGER FEDERER: Yeah, his is different. I don't know if I could put it up to González and Blake and Nadal. He's got a very good forehand, but I don't know if it's the best in the world right now. I don't think so. But it doesn't matter. He won the match, right? Doesn't matter if you have a great backhand or forehand.
