I have only been a proper tennis fan since 2011, before that I only watched slams and didn't know the technical details. In fact it's only since 2014 that I have been playing properly myself and so my answers will reflect that.

Federer:
Clay 2011 FO SF
Grass 2015 Wimb SF
Hard The only full match I have seen pre 2012 is AO 2009 and although he lost its better than anything I've seen since

Nadal:
Clay 2013 FO SF + 2014 FO F
Grass 2008 Wimb F (I lied, of course I have seen this match too)
Hard 2013 US Open F

Djokovic
Clay can't pick. Level too consistent 2015/16 - any match bar Wawrinka
Grass 2015 W F
Hard 2015 Us Open F

Murray
Clay 2016 RG SF
Grass 2012 Oly F
Hard 2016 Oly F

I like most of the lists, but I would add Hamburg 2002 F to the list.
