Create a compilation perfect five setter

[Deleted member 733170]

In the quest for zany ideas, create your perfect 5 set match, choosing only one set from each match.

It is permissible to have your favourite player winning 5 sets in a row.

The only rule is that set 1 must be a first set and set 2 a second set and so on and therefore all 5 sets have to come from grand slams matches only.

This but 5th set 2017 AO F.

I thought about that one as well, the level of drama is about the same and the fifth set at AO definitely has a sweeter ending. But that wasn’t what the OP asked about.

You can’t really go wrong with either. And there are countless other options for the 5th set.
