Thought this could be interesting to know what you guys think are the best/favorite/most impressive slam win for your guy, and the one that you think is the least impressive or your least favorite and why :unsure:
 
The 2011 US Open could be my favorite. Beating Fedal back-to-back.

2019 Wimbledon could be my least favorite. It wasn't at the time Djokovic won, but it could be now. Struggling to beat an old man, lmao.

2021 Roland Garros could also be my favorite. Beating Nadal and then that comeback vs Tsitsipas.
 
Favorite: 2011 USO, 2012 AO
Least favorite: Lot's of AO's were pretty bleh wins. 2021 AO wasn't memorable for me really.

There's probably some recency bias here, but...

Favorite: Australian Open 2017. Just a magical and totally unexpected run – not just winning after so many months out but the way he did it, going through so many tough battles against so many top players. I didn't actually watch the final live (can't bring myself to throw my sleep schedule so far out of whack just for tennis anymore) and I remember going to bed nervous. By form, I thought Fed had a real chance, was maybe even the favorite, but would the old demons resurface? I was shocked when I woke up to find that not only had Federer won but he did it in five sets! And then come to learn he was down 1-3 in the fifth! What an epic way to turn around one of his toughest rivalries. A little bit of redemption for all the close matches he lost to Nadal over the years. Even knowing the score the first time I watched it, there was such a thrill.

Least favorite: Wimbledon 2017. I mean, I was delighted to see him take the Wimbledon record outright but man... what a complete dud of a final. The rest of his run wasn't so bad, but still, no one was even capable of taking a set off of him. He was playing well, but that well? And then Cilic's collapse in the final – it just felt totally unfitting for the occasion. An unbothered skip across the finish line for what is (and should have felt like) one of Federer's defining achievements. Wimbledon 2019 would have been a totally epic way to cap his Wimbledon career, but, well....
