He's not going to blame his injured wrist, but he makes sure he mentions it in the press conference nonetheless.

I thought he was past always blaming some injury or other whenever he lost, comprehensively outplayed by a better player on the day.

He'll never win a major, he hasn't got the mental toughness required. The fact that he mentioned the wrist injury speaks volumes.

If you actually watch the interview he gets asked if the wrist was a problem and that is when he made his comment.

He did praise his opponent and also commented on how badly he played himself.

When you don't like somebody it's easy to try and pick at everything they say or do. Its quite amusing the way people comment on Murray when he loses and ignore the tournaments he wins and the fact he is currently the world no.2.

I've highlighted the reason why he is nothing like Henman.

Take a bow Del Potro, I watched it for about an hour and then went to bed expecting Federer to complete a straight sets win.

When you look at the top 5 there is not much between any of them, Federer, Nadal, Murray, Djokovic and Del Potro.

I was neutral before the final but am so glad that Del Potro won after the ridiculously childish outburst from Federer in the 2nd set...telling the umpire to "shush, I'm talking" was very funny and annoying at the same time!!

Kudos to Del Potro though, he looked goosed from about halfway through the 4th set but still managed the win by cleverly slowing his serves down so he could be more accurate thus minimising the amount of serves he made...and that forehand of his is absolutely immense.

Shows how much depth there is in mens tennis at the minute with him winning the tournament, Cilic making big strides, plus the plentiful other good, young players in the game.

Shame the women's game is totally dog turd...says it all when a wildcard who hasnt played for a couple of years can win the tournament.
