Best Men's Match This Year? I'm trying to get nominations for a poll

[LanceStern]

There's already three that are definitely going in the Poll:

Nadal vs. Federer (Wimbledon 2008 Final)
Federer vs. Murray (Shangai Masters 2008 Qualifying)
Nadal vs. Murray (US Open 2008 Semifinals)

Other thoughts I had in mind...

Djokovic vs. Murray (Western and Southern Financial Masters 2008 Final)
Federer vs. Roddick (Sony Ericcson 2008 Quarterfinals)
Federer vs. nalbandian (Davidoff Swiss Indoors 2008 Finals)

But any other nominations would be awesome. I guess if 3-5 people also nominate the same matches, it'll go in the poll. I do this because I'd hate to only have 4 matches posted and an "others" option without making any other mentions.

4 matches Nadal - Djokovic:
Hamburg SF,
Queens Final,
Olympics SF,
Cinci SF.

Djokovic-Federer AO SF
Roddick - Kohlschreiber AO

 

[czech09]

You don't need a poll, it's obvious which ones will win. The others don't really matter...

1. Nadal vs. Fed Wimbledon
2. Fed vs. Murray
3-?. ???

[nik_893]

Simon-Nadal Madrid SF
Tsonga-Nadal AO SF

 

[T1000]

Hewitt baghdatis AO!

 

[vandre]

in addition to the ones already listed, fed vs. tippy at the AO was a pretty good match as well.

 

[edberg505]

I've seen a few straight set matches mentioned on here Nadal vs. Tsonga and Djokovic vs Federer at the AO. I don't see how these can be nominated for match of the year. It doesn't really make any sense. There was nothing thrilling or suspenseful about either one of those matches.

 

[gj011]

Yes, forgot Federer - Tipsarevic

 

[veritech]

djok vs nadal at queens was great

 

[Tony48]

Federer vs. Nadal (Wimbledon final)....of course
Federer vs. Murray (Tennis Masters Cup Round Robin)
Nadal vs. Djokovic (Queens Final)
Nadal vs. Djokovic (Hamburg Final)

 

[miniRafa386]

maybe not the best, but IMO, the most significant:
nadal/federer wimbledon
nadal/federer roland garros
federer/tipserevic aus open
federer/andreev us open
simon/federer canada
simon/nadal madrid
federer/murray us open
djokovic/federer aus open

nadal/karlovic queens
nadal/djokovic queens
nadal/roddick queens
karlovic/federer cincinatti
gonzalez/blake olympics
nadal/gonzalez olympics
blake/federer olympics

 

[miniRafa386]

Federer vs. Nadal (Wimbledon final)....of course
Federer vs. Murray (Tennis Masters Cup Round Robin)
Nadal vs. Djokovic (Queens Final)
Nadal vs. Djokovic (Hamburg Final)

dont you mean nadal vs federer in hamburg?

 

[Djokovicfan4life]

Kohlshreiber vs. Roddick should definitely be on the poll.

 

[SirBlend12]

Nadal/Gulbis Madrid

 

[ksbh]

Not just best match of the year. Try best match of the century!

There's already three that are definitely going in the Poll:

Nadal vs. Federer (Wimbledon 2008 Final)

 

[bladepdb]

Gasquet V Murray Wimby

 

[nik_893]

Gasquet V Murray Wimby

definitely

 

[RF007]

maybe not the best, but IMO, the most significant:
nadal/karlovic queens

This match was terribly boring. Even the commentators thought so...

Other options not yet mentioned:
Moya - Nadal, Chennai SF (4 hour match which totally drained Nadal)
Tsonga - Nadal, Indian Wells R16 (seemed more competitive than their AO encounter, judging by the scoreline at least)
Nadal - Federer, Hamburg F was also good

 

[Messarger]

Nadal vs Djoker at Queens was amazing, should at least be a nominee.

 

[my_forehand]

The Wimby Final was an instant classic - it's considered as "The Greatest Match of All-Time." So it's out of discussion IMO.

 

[MrBen]

Wimbledon Finals 2008! Because that was a long and eventful match...

 

[musicalmedic81]

Blake vs Young at the open this year was very entertaining, not the best by far but def top 15.

 

[musicalmedic81]

Oh, and Nadal vs Bjorn Phau!

 

[norbac]

Murray/Gasquet Wimbledon
Djokovic/Nadal Hamburg
Hewitt/Baghdatis AO
