Candidates:
2004 Hamburg semis&final. Some scary stuff to dispatch Hewitt and Coria.
Rome final 2006-actually approached the net really well against rafa for once in his life and his forehand was doing serious damage.
Hamburg final 2007-Rafa's level dropped off a bit and Hamburg isn't "real" clay but still 6-2 6-0 in the final two sets. Amazing stuff.
FO final 2008-Peak Federer played a great match but Nadal was just too good.
Madrid final 2009-He served quite well here and was clutch. But Nadal was tired and Madrid isn't "real" clay.
FO final 2009-New this was his best and maybe only shot at the French and he seized it. Played incredibly well. Classic tiebreakacerer with 4 aces in the second set tiebreak.
FO semis 2011-
FO semis 2012-Peak Federer against Djokovic but Djokovic was too good.
Rome final 2015-Ditto.
Which is it? For me 2009 FO in a vacuum but 2006 Rome for me because it was against Rafa and Rafa always makes him play a lot worse. Any other candidates?
