Favourite top 4 match-ups and why.

[Paul Murphy]

Among the current top 4 what is your favourite match-up and why?

My pick is Federer v Djokovic.
Federer's game clearly troubles Djokovic as illustrated by the French Open semi-final and the USO semi-final.
They met three times in Majors this year and Federer was just one point away from having a 2-1 H2H in those key matches - it would have been quite an achievement considering the year Djokovic was having.
I like the styles of both players - the combination of them generally produces excellent tennis.

Federer vs Djokovic. Their matches are very entertaining I find, both players can break each other often and generally play very aggressively against each other. You never really know what the outcome is going to be.

 

[Hood_Man]

Federer/Djokovic

Their matches have been generally been close but can still go either way.

From best to worst

Federer/Djok
Djok/Nadal
Murray/Nadal
Murray/Djok
Murray/Federer
Federer/Nadal

well, djokovic/nadal has been so one sided year, for me it has to be the worst match up, that is until nadal can break his losing streak against djokovic.

I absolutely love Djokovic vs Federer matches, lots of hard hitting, aggressive tennis...was just watching some highlights and I especially enjoy little FH to FH or BH to BH battles that they have during points sometimes. It's like they both want to show that they can be on par with their opponents main weapons. For example:

At 2:13 forehands

I agree with Federer Djokovic, they bring out the best in each other and it can always go either way. I enjoy Murray/Nadal matches too.

Federer/Djokovic. Djokovic on a hype train? Watch Federer get a 2 set lead. Hopefully he closes the curtains.

Murray/Nadal. Federer wins, Murray wins. Federer/Murray final = free Grand Slam for Federer.

Federer-Nadal actually is the worst one, because its onedimensional beyond believe. Both are scared of each other's forehands. Nadal wins more baseline rallies, Federer saves with serve, close, close, close, Nadal wins.

 

[glazkovss]

Despite Federer-Nadal being the most one sided, I like it the most because of the biggest contrast in styles and characters.

Yeah pretty much Fed and Djoker step on the court and try rip each other apart on their groundies. Love it.

Yeah, but the fun part is that its not JUST ripping; Especially Federer of course dares to try more stuff against Djokovic. It's slices, dropshots, great volleying, good serving as well.

This year the Federer vs. Djokovic matches have been the most exciting I think. The level of play was very high and the matches very close.

I also love Nadal vs. Djokovic, I just like the dynamic of the game when they're both playing great. But it has indeed been too one sided to be more exciting.

Federer vs. Nadal is a classic but we have not had an outstanding encounter ths year. Given last years WTF I still don't think the result is always a given.

I still don't find matches involving Murray very exciting. I like the style of play of the other 3 guys a lot better and he has never provided us with an epic match at one of the biggest stages.

 

[vive le beau jeu !]

federer vs djokovic, by far.

Federer V Djokovic. The shotmaking and those laser like forehands and backhands, are stunning to watch.

 

[flyinghippos101]

Despite Nadals losing record this year, I still find the Nadal-Djok matches to be one of the more entertaining. Sure the result was usually a foregone conclusion, but the rallies were pretty spectacular. If not for that 3rd set Nadal won at the US Open, I was going to peg it as one of the best straight set finals I've seen in some time.
