Mine would be:
Agassi def. Rafter 75 26 67 62 63.Change for Rafter,then Rafter will(probably) won AO 2001. Anyway Rafter is my favorite player ever so that's why.

You guys?
 
RG 2013 SF in terms of something where changing 1 point would change the outcome

RG 2012 if being close doesn't matter and its any match
 
I think about this often, and right now, it's the RG 2006 final.

Feddy gets the CYGS and locks down the GOAT debate completely.

AO 05 or USO 09 too (USO 09 would give him NCYGS), but RG 06 means:

-Beat Nadal at RG
-Proper CYGS
-Likely boosts Fed's confidence vs. Nadal and propels him to further wins over Nadal.
 
2007 Wimbledon or 2012 AO final.

After Rome 06, Roger changed how he approached playing Nadal.
I'm not saying it would have happened, but maybe.

If I put on my Rafa fan hat I would choose AO 2012.

If I was a Djoker fan, RG 2011 loss to Federer (likely CYGS).

If he couldn't beat Federer, he wasn't beating Nadal on chatrier. Federer and Nadal had BOTH lost 3 straight matches to Djokovic at the time of the FO. To suggest Federer could break that losing streak in a BO5 on clay, and Nadal wouldn't (having only lost one such match in his life to this day) is a bit nonsensical and biased.

Don't forget what the best rivalries in tennis actually are:

Nadal vs. His Body
Federer vs. Reality
Djokovic vs. The Crowd

I say it only because Fed ran Rafa very close, and Djokovic, with no match-up problems, could have potentially won in my view.

Obviously that doesn't mean he would have (and I wouldn't have bet on it), but I'm not going to argue this as it's all hypothetical anyway.

Also Rafa's RG record is difficult to argue with. :lol:
So make it RG 2013 vs. Nadal then, if I was a Djoker fan.

I do not believe Djoker will beat Rafa at RG in the future, either.
I think that ship has sailed to be honest, it's become mental now.

I'd give Federer Wimbledon 2008. And Roddick Wimbledon 2009.

- Might give Rusty the AO 2005.
 
Borg to win that match against mcenroe that made him quit the game. maybe losing on a different day he would have reacted differently and not left the game.

either that or use it to stop Seles getting stabbed if that works for this exercise...

Heartbreaking watching her crying & looking sad as her game deteriorated wasn't it? Such a sweet girl & you feel that was most likely her one & only shot at a slam.
 
1996 French Open: Muster vs. Stich

That match is still annoying if I think about it too much. Muster was 65-2 on clay in 1995, and was already 34-1 on clay in 1996 going into that match with Stich.
 
2007 Wimbledon final, one of the tiebreak sets, Nadal really deserved to win that title, Federer was saved but tiebreak system, not once but twice
 
Murray vs Djokovic Australian Open 2015.

Losing 4 finals at the same slam is pretty sad and bad.

Murray vs Federer Wimbledon 2012.

*4 straight matches for Nadal, and two of them in clay finals. Who knows, as someone said, Djokovic wouldn't have the match-up problem as much as he does with Fed, and he was totally in Nadal's head at the time. Ahh hypothetical scenarios :lol:

Nice choice.
Mine wd be Evert's loss to Jordan, Wimbledon 83- Evert was ill but had won all 3 majors prior to this loss, and had beaten Navratilova on grass at the previous AO. Who knows what might have happened in the final?

How does Djokovic have a match-up problem with Federer? I don't know where this line of thought comes from.
 
2008 Wimbledon Final....I rather Federer win that one but go on to lose 2009 Final to Roddick instead.

It because of the 6 in a row....having that record...Federer was close at 4-3,7-6 in the fifth.
