Few fantastic matches have had as poor a fifth set like the Nadal vs Federer final at the Australian Open in 2009. And few brilliant matches before it, have had four such amazing sets prior to the fifth. To my recollection, I haven't seen a match holding the same quality during the four first sets, so my question is: if it had a Wimbledon 2008 like final set, or AO13 (Djokovic-Wawrinka), would it be regarded as the greatest match ever played?
I know, it's strictly hypothetical, but still, it's insane how much Federer's serve dropped in that fifth set. Just imagine what would have happened if he would been able to maintain the level prior to that...
