If you could go back to a particular 2-3 year span of tennis which years you would choose?

[Raining hopes]

Basically the title means which tennis years you,personally, would like to relive again?


Mine would be 2003-2005, because those were the days I started watching.

 

[Tiki-Taka]

Maybe 2009-11 as it featured great matches and moments for each of the Big 3, Del Potro and some other players as well.

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

2014-2016

 

[Deleted member 756514]

2008-10

 

[VaporDude95]

I’d want to see 2004-2007 to see fed again, but also 2009-2011/12 to see a bit of everyone.

 

[tennis_pro]

I really wanna include 2009 but 2008/2010 sucked in big parts.

So let's say 2007-2009.

 

[Raining hopes]

Would be fascinating to go back to Borg,Mcenroe,connor,lendl e.t.c years too never got the chance to see them live as a player on my tv

 

[vive le beau jeu !]

early 90's

 

[TheGhostOfAgassi]

Borgs time.

Ill do some serious shopping.

 

[aman92]

2009-11, The period has some epic matches with Federer, Nadal and Djokovic all in at their prime

 

[Steve0904]

Probably 03-05. I say that because I was still pretty young in those years and if I could I'd go back and appreciate it more with the tennis knowledge I have now.

 

[KINGROGER]

04-06. Peak Federer, Roddick, Hewitt, Nalbandian, Nadal, Old Agassi. I like 07, 09, 11, 12 too.

 

[Shaolin]

Late 90s or 2003-2006

Early 90s my 3rd choice

 

[Krish872007]

Early 90s. 1890s that is. True lawn tennis played by gentlemen wearing proper trousers.

 

[Arafel]

No contest: 80-82. Peak McEnroe, Borg, a Connors renaissance, Lendl and Wilander emerging, and players like Vilas and Gerulaitis still in the mix. On the women's side you had Navratilova finally figuring out her talent, Evert staring down Austin, Mandlikova emerging, a renaissance for Goolagong, BJK still playing well, and others like Pam Shriver

 

[Thomas195]

The early 1990s, maybe include 1996

 

[EloQuent]

04-06, peak Fedr

 

[Standaa]

What would be the point if I knew the exact outcome of every match? To bet on winners?

Well I hadn't thought that assume you will get to watch it without any previous memories all over again.

 

[Tennis_Hands]

1) 79-81
2) 2009-2012 (skipping the obvious weak link in 2010 and to somewhat stick to the condition)
3) 88-90

Obviously, that is the Open era.

 

[Dilexson]

2011-2012
Obviously two years of fierce competition all throughout.

 

[Standaa]

2006-2008

 

[Checkmate]

2019-2020

 

[BeatlesFan]

1985-1988, peak LENDL!!!!!!!

 

[Raining hopes]

1985-1988, peak LENDL!!!!!!!

That tagline at the bottom! What did they Lendl to look like that?

 

[Slightly D1]

2010-2012.

 

[wangs78]

2006-2008 - Fed's peak years culminating in the sad but epic 2008 Wimby final followed by some (but not complete) vindication when he beats Murray in the USO final that year. Then fast forward to AO '17 for complete vindication / phoenix rising from the ashes.

 

[EloQuent]

if we can pick 3 separate years I'd go for 06, 09, 17.

You get Fedr's best year, 2006. But blocked on clay.

His highs and lows in 09 with the win in FO, but losses in AO and USO.

Then redemption in 17.

Then 2020 when he finally wins the Olympics.

 

[Deleted member 757377]

2011-13 easily.

A lot of great matches between big4, wawrinka and delpo

You guys can NEVER stay on topic or stick to what an OP is asking lol.

2010-2012

 

[Standaa]

This thread actually seems to be doing alright.

 

[RS]

2011-2013 in the the modern era 2000-2018. 2007-2009 would be a close 2nd
1993-1996 in the pre Homogezation but still somewhat modern days. 1989-1992 a close 2nd.
1984-1987 in the big racket none homegaztion affected era. 1980-1983 a close 2nd.

[HetTheGreaterer]

Close to say between some years in 90s and 2000s

 

[Mainad]

Can we make it a 4 year span?

2012-2016 (missing out 2014).

As great as those year's for Murray are I personally enjoyed watching watching him as much in some HC masters in 2008-10.

Would be fun to support him then because he was one of the least favorite players.

 

[Mainad]

Doesn't look as if the gluten-free diet is doing you any good!

2016!!????????
One of the Worst years on tour.......
Two people trying to push rallies until one collapse for one full year
Only good thing was juan's Renaissance and wawa winning US16

Well, that's just your opinion!

One of the best tail end stretches though

No1ray at his best

 

[BGod]

1978-1980.

I'd take the memories with me. And make millions in Vegas.

Some of the middle bits were pretty good too.

 

[Raining hopes]

Some of the middle bits were pretty good too.

Yep too bad I didn't watch 2015 end and 2016 completely had some other commitments.

 

[EloQuent]

Maybe slightly OT but it's fascinating how many players collapse after their best year. Wilander, McEnroe, Djokovic (kinda, if you look at the non calendar year), Murray, all reached a top level then never won another slam.

Mury goat no.1 that was the wow moment and nothing more

Difference being that it was mostly mental burnout in the first 3 cases whereas Murray picked up a serious injury that ultimately required surgery.
