cilic vs murray

Aus open 2005 QF Hewitt v Nalbandian, great play by both could have gone either way, watching nalbandian play, you would think he would have won the whole tournament. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcLibz8DT0I

To name a few

Fed-Roddick AO 2007 (A thorough thrashing. Hell, AO 2007 was Fed at his best)

Fed-Nadal FO 2008 (Seriously smackdown laid by Nadal)

Soderling-Nadal (Soderling played incredibly well and Nadal seemed like he didn't have any answers for his shots)

Del Potro-Nadal USO 2009 (Del Potro at his best)

Really? No love for El Aynaoui?

 

[bojsag]

That was last year, and he lost to Niemenen following his win over Roddick.

2008. Kohlshreiber actually went on the lose to Jarko Nieminen. What a difference a day makes, I suppose.

Yes you are both correct. I confused AO 2008 that Djokovic won with AO 2009 that Nadal won.

Which match was the highest quality of play from an individual player (both players don't have to be playing well). Personally, I think Tsonga vs Nadal AO 08 is right up there.

which else?

Federer against Hewitt USO final 2004

watch that Federer's play.

lol... nadal fed at wimbledon 08? may have been one of the greatest matches in this decade but federer wasnt quite playing as well as nadal was playing that day... his serve percentage wasnt quite up to par...very poor break point conversion percentage( 1 of 13 lol).... and made too many unforced errors ( 52 which is almost double of what nadal had). And remember this was the year when he got mono prior to wimby

but nonetheless a great match

Yes it was one of the greatest matches ever and Nadal won it fair and square.According to Federer he was feeling and playing well .

How would you compare your game now to your game a year ago this time?

ROGER FEDERER: Well, now it's better again. Maybe at the beginning of the year, like I said, I felt a little slow. Just felt a little bit rattled due to the sickness I had.
But today I feel as good again as last year. You know, one year has gone by. I've played plenty of matches. I feel like I'm playing well, which is good.

Nadal vs Federer Miami 2004. Nadal's first match against Federer and imo Nadal was fantastic. Even the commentators here in the UK said watching this you would wonder who was the world number 1.
