Obviously want everyone Peak vs Peak.

Agassi vs Djoker at AO, USO and RG.
Fed vs Sampras at Wimbly(pre and post homogenisation).
Fed vs Djoker at AO Rebound Ace and Plexi.
Fed vs Djoker basically everywhere.
Fed vs Nadal USO.
Fed vs Wawrinka RG.

Would obviously like to watch Laver and other greats with today's players but that would mean they would have to train with new racquets and obviously the modern game is totally different and they were nowhere as physically strong as today's players so I don't see how the match would play out.

Would have loved to watch Fed vs Laver with wooden racquets in 1969.
Nadal vs Borg at 1978 RG.
Fed vs Borg at 1980 Wimbley.
Fed vs McEnroe at 1981 Wimbley.
None of these matches with poly though. But with the original equipment.
Also Fed vs Rosewall.
A slice fest.
Nadal vs Djokovic at FO with wooden racquets.

Would also like to see how the old greats would perform with poly in this modern era.

Your dreams could shatter if those finals could happen. Hope they won't make simulation that could pair all those players in search of Goat or similar

If we are talking about wishes, Vive would love to see Nadal Vs Nadal on all courts, all tournaments and all surfaces, Nadals Vs Nadals in doubles on all courts, all tournaments and all surfaces and since we don't want to miss mixed doubles, he would like to watch Nadal and Nadal against Nadal and Nadal on all courts, all tournaments, all surfaces. As an extension of this wish, he wishes that all surfaces here refer to dead slow clay, slow clay, medium pace clay and fast clay.

let me think... there are many that would be interesting but here are some:

edberg vs federer (on any surface) :)
edberg vs srichaphan
rafter vs baghdatis at the AO
fognini vs rios on clay
nishikori vs davydenko on indoor wood
gulbis vs ivanisevic
shapovalov vs arazi
gonzalez vs gulbis on clay
agassi vs kyrgios on hard
lendl vs wawrinka

and actually, as i like steak tartare... sampras vs the nadal on carpet could be fun :) (even better with tio's coaching)
and if you want some ziraffe steak tartare: becker vs zverev :giggle:

Fedberg would make me sad. I wouldn't want any of the players to lose.

Gulbis vs Goran/Rafter-Baggy made me lol.

Lendl vs Wawa is pretty solid too.

:cool:

Brilliant nominations. Maybe one day they can get Shapovalov vs Arazi as an exhibition match at the Marrakech tourney?

Great to see Srichaphan get a nomination. An edberg vs Srichaphan match on medium grass would be interesting. Srichaphan underrated as a shot maker and mover imo.

I am worried that Fognini vs Rios would end with the Fog simply smashing all the rackets in his bag. Rios would torment him too much. He would have to ask Rios for a loan of a Yonex which Rios would refuse.

In the indoor wood match, do Nishikori and Kolya have to use wooden frames or are they permitted modern day equipment?

I take fully trained\fit Kyrgios\Tomic\Shapovalov\Tiafoe\Dolgopolov\Delpo\Fabrice Santoro 2.0 version (considering they still havent reach their prime) vs prime Fedalovic on any surface.

I think in last 10 years there havent been so many exciting players like 30-20 years ago.

just to remind you what natural talent is:



YES I included TIAFOE because this man has really great touch. I have seen enough to say that if gets more consistent he may take at least a single slam.

Finally some youngies are breaking thru..... we waited to long already????? We had only Fedalovic 5 years ago..... for 10 years.


As i said. I miss some Santoro style tricky player.
We get a little more variety this days which is good.

other than that..


I would really like to see prime Monica Seles\Justine Henin\Steffi Graff vs Serena Williams\Naomi Osaka\Hsieh 2.0.


WTA IS EVEN WORSE. this babes are all the same. Good that Naomi, Bianca and Hsieh came - such refreshment!

2003 Wimbledon Final Agassi vs Federer. Scud spoiled the party in the 4th Rd 5-setter. Pretty sure AA would have gone past Popp and Grosjean to make the final had he pulled through that match, and Fed would be sitting on 19 slams today. ;)

A more unrealistic match I would have liked to see is 1995 Agassi vs Djoker at AO.

I'm not convinced about that.Agassi was not a very tough opponent on grass.Remember that Fed beat Pete in 2001 and he only improved by 2003.

2003 Agassi was not defeating Phillipoussis, he had declined too much on grass by 2003.

Also, it's not like Phillippoussis was an easy rival, regardless of Agassi's age.
