I agree. I'm really starting to like Del Potro. He does, despite his appearance, appear to be quite a clever tennis player. He uses the opponenet's weaknesses pretty well. He also comes off with quite a good attitude.
Del Potro's opponents aren't all that easy though (the opponents I consider to be the most likely)
Del Potro
Clement
Hewitt
Tursunov
Stepanek/Ferrer
Roddick
Murray
Federer/Djokovic
Hewitt could be a test early on, and Roddick has been in two Wimbledon finals.
Federer
Lu
Garcia-Lopez
Kohlschreiber
Söderling/Lopez
Tsonga/Verdasco
Djokovic
Del Potro/Murray
Roger seems to have a good control on Søderling. Tsonga and Verdasco are good players, but neither is suited for grass play. All in all, a fairly easy way to the semi-finals.
Djokovic
Bennetau
Greul
Fish
Robredo/Scheuttler
Cilic/Blake/Haas
Federer
Del Potro/Murray
The easiest way to the semi-finals. He never meets anyone higher seeded than 11th, and that's Cilic. He should have no problems making the semis.
Murray
Kendrick
Gulbis
Troicki
Wawrinka/Safin
Simon/Gonzales
Del Potro
Federer/Djokovic
The perhaps hardest way to the semis. Both Wawrinka and Safin could make dangerous opponents, as could Simon/Gonzales.
Murray and Del Potro are going to have a far harder fight to the semis than Djokovic/Federer.
As for the points (from ATP 1000 series and Grand Slams) for this calendar year only, it's something ala.
Nadal: ~ 5900
Federer: ~ 5400
Djokovic: ~ 2800
Murray: ~ 2700
Del Potro: ~ 2200
