Man, the ‘09 AO final. What a match. My favourite all time. Just sad the fifth set wasn’t tighter.

All these are fantastic points. Physical and beautiful.
But mine will ALWAYS be something a bit more simple, and yet complex in the grand scheme of things.
Hint :
"Ohhhh....... that backhand down the line, must be the shot of the decade. It's an amazing, technically proficient, piercing blow".

WOW. Never saw this one
Fraud getting insane depth on his FH without any effort in movement. The new racquet gave speed but took away potency on that shot.

Yeah one of my favs, Hewitt working Federer all over the court with some great hitting but Fed coming up with some great shotmaking with the sick racket head speed off a low ball to win.

That run back looks impossible even in slow mo. Fred was one of the fastest chocolate addicts ever

I remember this particular point crushed any hope I had that Rafa was going to win that final. He threw everything but a kitchen sink at Roger in the course of this point, and it still wasn't enough. Roger just refused to go away...
Rafa's perfect response to the spectator shouting right before the ball went into play. Novak's defense is simply breathtaking. You could see he didn't want the match to go into the 4th.

This point for me perfectly represents both possible interpretations of that GIF as my reaction to seeing it.

Federer has the best backhand overhead I've ever seen.
His overhead is also very good. Able to place it even on deep, tough lobs.

To be fair to Nadal, he served an ace literally the next point after that to wipe out the BP. Both Federer and Nadal didn’t let the “epic points” from 09 and 17 get them down, which is credit to them

Every time these pushers play. I go “damn you could have ended the point 10 minutes ago if you unglued yourself from the baseline”

That Djokovic open arms staredown at the end of the point is quite probably the baddest moment in US Open Finals history.

Remember watching this live on TV.
Considering the stakes (Nadal was MP down) and taking into consideration that monstrous roar one of the most epic clay points ever.
