If Novak had gotten through Delpo and reached the final you'd be saying the same thing, only with the caveat that Novak had an injury or whatever. As everyone says, you can only beat who is in front of you, you can't magic top players out of thin air - half of the top didn't even play due to lame excuses and/or injuries. Everyone played as good as they got because it was for their country. Also, Andy didn't play his best throughout the tourney. Any Andy fan could see that.”

Good point. 9 of the top 20 were absent, so that didn't help the draw/seedings. As well as the fact that they also have to make sure no two players from the same country are in the same quarter of the draw.
