Which Masters 1000 match since 2009 was the best in terms of drama/quality?
Please name any other match that in your opinion stands out, I could not offer more than 10 choices.
 
Ok, it wasn;t bad , but still ... I recommend you to see Rome 2011 F once again, pure awesome clay court tennis from both players

That match is so pumped up by Djokovic fans it's unreal. I know it was exciting he could finally beat Rafa on clay, but Nadals level in that match was nothing to shout about. Doesn't hold a candle to the quality of Madrid 09.

Djokovic fan here, but you're right :)

Madrid 09 was clearly the best masters final ever imo.

Actually tied with Rome 06/05, but best B03 one

That was not Novak's first win over Nadal on clay, and the later was not playing bad at all. He reached the majority of tournament finals in 2011 easily but Djokovic was simply better.
Ok but it's not necsessary to have 3 sets for great tennis, imo:). Also I find MC F13 as a great match .
Of course we do not need 3 sets. That final was good but also straight sets, with one ending 6-2, ouch. Lets stick with matches I offered. :)

It was a semifinal. ;)
 
Djokovic v Nadal BO3 on clay has been interesting, if you go back to 08 and that great match in Hamburg, you could see Novak matching up quite well with Rafa early on their battles, that match along with the epic clay triology of 09, showed Rafa was edging Nole out, with Rafa actually saving MPs in Madrid 09. Their next match on clay was two years later, but Novak finally started to get past match point.

Ah right, how embarrassing.

As I recall, an exhausted Nadal lost the final to Fed...yes that's one of the 10 wins lol...

Actually, it seems like that match took something out of both players for quite some while...interesting

It really is weird that they never met on clay in 2010. If only Melzer did not turn that deficit around at RG 2010 quarters we could have had another great Djokodal match. No doubt Nadal would win eventually, Djokovic was still discovering his true abilities back then.

I don't know if we would have a had great match at RG 2010, Djokovic was in his worst slump at the time, and Nadal would have likely clobbered him in straights tbh.

I belive that match ruined in a way RG09 campagin for both players. I would say bitter /sweet victory for Rafael.

Maybe, it is impossible to predict the outcome of matches that never happened.
But looking back at their RG 2008 semi, Djokovic came up with some great tennis in 3rd set and was a point away from winning it. Nadal was God mode at that tournament, Federer won 4 or 5 games against him in that final. So I feel that Djokovic was always Rafa's biggest challenge on clay, not just in 2011 and after.
 
The match I'd vote for isn't on the list. But the Indian Wells 2012 SemiFinal between Federer & Nadal was a very good match quality wise.
 
Fed vs Djoke IW 2014.

And Montreal Semi-Final always reminds me of this :D
Rafa can't control lol'ing.

That was last win Fed had over Nadal I think. It ended in straight sets though. Which match would you vote for?
Fed vs Djoke IW 2014.

The commentator indirectly said "Lets not pass our opponent, instead lets target their face"
 
some people just can't accept that fed was able to win RG can they?
Some people just can't accept the fact that RF got lucky and snagged up slams when his main opponent who dominated tennis at the time got injured, which had never happened to this extent in the history of the Open Era, can they?
 
I knew the Montreal semis would get overrated yet again. I didn't think from a technically stand-point that match was nearly as great as at least half of their encounters.
