Wow.... the quality of the matches have almost been Aussie open-esque
I vote Cilic Haas -- great drama and clutch performance in dark.
Roddick, lleyton is a close second

There are tie breaks in all but the 5th set, so it couldn't be like that.

I forgot to include the 0-6 0-6 in the beginning. Just couldn't get my fingers to type it.

I am hoping for a 6-0, 6-0, 6-0, Murray win and a gruelling 5 setter for Roger.
Then Fed defeating Murray in straight sets in the final.
It won't shut up some people but it will be quite nice.

I was going to put that in another thread called "The greatest match of all time". :twisted:

Haas and Cilic was the best match. They were both playing well,they both had times when they were about to lose it. And, they both saved match points before the end.

I didn't see enough of the Haas-Cilic match to be sure, unfortunately...

Toss up between JCF vs Gonzalez, Murray vs Wawrinka and any match that Hewitt plays in.
I'm going for Murray vs Wawrinka.
I'm a Fed fan but have the utmost respect and admiration for Murray. You've got to give it to him. He's like a modern day John McEnroe.
I used to dislike McEnroe but couln't help but warm to him with time.
Murray impresses me more with every match.
He reminds me so much and even looks and plays in the style of McEnroe and I think he will be just as successful.
Murray against Wawrinka a tough player in normal circumstances, nothing to lose, and the reason I choose this match - the roof.
The atmosphere created by the roof, all of a sudden it's heavy and humid, no breeze to cool the sweat, ball moving slower through thick air.
Serves less effective. Now it's a slugging match with long leg-sapping rallies for five gruelling sets.
The two guys looked out on their feet in the first set and still battered one another right to the bitter end. And a punch drunk tennis nation watching and agonising late into the evening, the flood lights interrogating Murray and the noises earily echoing and testing - 14 million people wondering if they'll have to wait another seventy odd years.
I expected Murray to collapse under all that pressure but he still had the strenth and will to pull through.
And Wawrinka I thought was magnificent. He seemed to return just about every ball even when you'd think the point was gone but he'd somehow manage to reach and place the ball so that he was back in the rally.
Fascinating match.
Don't know how Murray recovered from that one.
I thought he looked pretty hung over for a good spell against JCF.
Fed fan or not, you've got to admire this guy.

I was going to say Haas/Andreev, or Haas/Cilic, or Hewitt/Stepanek which was a good one, but liked the Djokovic/Fish. Total dominance of a good player by a better player.

What a joke Roddick/Hewitt is considered the best match. Anyone with any brain knows it is Murray/Wawrinka.

That's your opinion.
no need for personal insults like that...
You should apologise..
some people / countries might not have broadcasts for murry v.s wawrinka.
P.S currently 43% of people have been insulted by your remark...

The majority are a bunch of patriotic Rodtards that don't even know what Murray did in that match.

I'm going to have to say Serena/Elena, only because the fudged up NBC coverage wouldn't allow me to see the whole of the Rod/Hewitt match, just the last 2 sets. Today's was the best I saw in it's entirety.

I think quality-wise it was Hewitt-Roddick. The one that kept me on the edge of the seat was Murray-Wawrinka. I didn't see Haas-Cilic to comment on that.

Haas and C. Just because there was other stuff going on like the darkness and the fans. fun drama

Federer vs Karlovic is the best.

All great poll options, but I felt the Stan/Murray match stood out, and so did Haas/ChillyChill. But ...
I feel the best is yet to come.
Could it be.....
Tommy Haas, Wimbledon champion? Nice ring to it. Can you imagine him taking down Federer then upending Murray 11-9 in the 5th on Sunday?
Andrew Murray outlasting Roddick then Roger to delight all of Scotland and half of the rest of the UK? Andrewmonium.
Andy Roddick, Wimbledon champion? Not bloody likely, but if he did, it would have to be some spectacular attacking tennis.
Roger breaking the all-time slam count record in a 5 set thriller over Roddick or Murray. Contrasting styles. Great running passes. Incredible lobs and dropshots.
