Was that (Cincy final) Federer's biggest match win in 2 years?

[McEnroeisanartist]

Do you think his win in the 2014 Cincinnati final was Federer's biggest match win in the last two years?

Or are any of the following matches bigger:

2012 World Tour Finals Sf - Defeated Murray
2013 Australian Open QF - defeated Tsonga
2013 World Tour Finals RR - Defeated Del Potro
2014 Australian Open QF - defeated Murray
2014 Wimbledon QF - defeated Wawrinka
2014 Wimbledon SF - Defeated Raonic

It's the Wimbledon Semifinal.

 

[tennisenthusiast]

none of the above. cincy is definitely his biggest win in 2 years. you could tell from his celebration after that challenge.

 

[KtM]

THis event is arguably bigger than any other so I might suggest winning the final of it regardless how the match played out or the opponent does (at the very least) add some significant weight to it being the biggest win.

 

[Smasher08]

Well it is The Real Slam.

 

[Feather]

Obviously this.

yes yes, good thing he played his little pigeon, Ferru

Djokovic is also his pigeon at Cincy. Remember the 2012 bagel? Too bad he didn't make the final

You can only try to beat someone who actually plays in the tournament, or even enters the tournament.

Definitely by a mile. His 1st tournament in 2 years.

 

[jaggy]

Everyone wants to win this one

He also won Dubai and Halle.

Halle twice.

sureshs knows how important today was. TRS rules!

Also in the manner of winning: S-V a lot, 1HBH quite solid.

You thought so? I didn't think he made too many errors with the backhand wing, but it was more of an accessory shot. At this stage, that's what we have to expect

Nothing like a big title like today.

If he didnt win today also, his resume would not look any lesser.

But as a 33 year old, winning in a slow homogenized era , is nothing short of EPIC.

And above all he is now more closer to top 2 than closer to the rest of top 5.

And he was almost ranked number 8 in the beginning of year ?

I think the Wimbledon final means a lot more to his legacy. Making one at nearly 33 (and almost winning) is epic. Not to mention, it was his 9th final! :shock:

Reaching the Wimb Final was epic. But in terms of comparing the matches one on one, this was far more difficult and meaningful than the win against Raonic in Wimb SF.

With proper scheduling of matches, Fed could have easily won the Toronto-Cincy double.

It is incredible for the old man to play Wed-Sun matches , all mostly 3 setters and in the night as well , still showing so much fight and tenacity in the finals.
