If you could watch just one more match?

[Paul Murphy]

If you could watch just one more match in your life who would you choose to play it?

My first pick is Federer.
My second is one of Safin, Lendl or McEnroe - just can't choose.

My reasons:

Federer is the GOAT in my view and is elegance personified.
I would like to see Lendl and Federer play each other from the baseline.
I would like to see how Fed coped with Mc's S/V and how his passing game stood up.
Safin is Safin - at his best he was an excitement machine and his combination with Fed guaranteed entertainment.

 

[D.Nalby12]

Peak Federer vs Peak Djokovic on Deco turf.

 

[adil1972]

federer vs nadal wimbledon 2008 final

 

[jg153040]

Peak Borg vs peak Nadal on clay.

My first choice would be Sampras vs Fed on grass, but we have sort of already seen glimpses of that in 2001.

Borg v Nadal was tempting for me but my general aversion to clay swayed me away from it.

 

[Noleberic123]

Peak djokovic vs peak Federer on plexicushion.

Peak djokovic vs peak Federer on plexicushion.

Another fine contender.

Too bad. I love clay. I think sliding gives it an extra dimension and you never see a lot of aces, which is boring.

It's a shame though, that all my favorite players like Fed and Sampras weren't that great on clay.

 

[King Fed WW]

Djokovic v Federer. So so good to watch.

 

[Fedinkum]

Fed vs Nadal 2009 fed winning in the fifth!!

I would've loved to see a rematch

OR

Federer - Djokovic at the US Open final...

I wouldn't want to waste my only wish for matchups that already happened.

Fed and Nole did play at USO 07 final. I would use my wish for something that didn't come close to happening.

Peak Graff vs peak Serena.

 

[Deleted member 733170]

Peak Graff vs peak Serena.

Though that may be a curious match, wouldn't Serena destroy Graff given the evolution of the backhand in the ladies game?

 

[MichaelNadal]

Battle of the Surfaces, but playing for real! :lol:

Battle of the Surfaces, but playing for real! :lol:

I would love to see that with Roman Gladiator style!

Loser gets executed by the Emperor. Wouldn't that be cool?

You lose one match and you are done .

I guess in this case the goat would be a person who won most consecutive matches after turning pro.

 

[MichaelNadal]

Would be awesome imo. If they played at the peak of their powers like every point was MP

 

[Deleted member 733170]

Peak Fed versus Peak Sampras hopefully an ever more compelling version of the 2001 match.

Also if you support the loser you also get executed, just to add some spice!

 

[HewittAlwaysDisappoints]

Nadal Vs Djokovic 2011 French Open

Had Fed not stopped Nole, would he have beaten Nadal?

One of life's most asked questions...

 

[kOaMaster]

Fed and Nole did play at USO 07 final. I would use my wish for something that didn't come close to happening.

I'm pretty happy with the matches that already happened, I don't regret seeing another one.

Of course, something like Nadal vs Borg on clay could be interesting and I'd also love to see Federer vs McEnroe in Wimbledon. But that's somehow to far from what I can imagine. How do you know it will be good? Perhaps it'll be something like Ivanisevic - Rafter recently...*lol*.

Federer - Sampras was great, Federer - Djokovic has always been awesome. The probability of it being great the next encounter is pretty high, isn't it?

But if you really ask for something "new", I'd love to see Haas - Federer in a Wimbledon final or Federer - Wawrinka @ the AO final.

Rogi from USO 04 Final.
He was God in sets 1 and 3, just a regular saint in set 2.

Would be glorious to witness the destruction.

Vs. some ATGs:

Nadal: Federer 6-1 4-6 6-1 6-2
Djokovic: Federer 6-2 6-7 6-3 7-6
Sampras: Federer 6-4 6-7 7-6 6-3
Borg: Federer 6-4 7-6 6-1
McEnroe: Federer 6-0 1-6 6-3 6-4
Agassi: Federer 6-1 6-7 6-2 7-6
Connors: Federer 6-0 5-7 6-1 6-0
Lendl: Federer 6-4 2-6 7-6 6-4

He's not losing to anybody ever in that form on that surface basically.

 

[Deleted member 688153]

Or Laver vs. Djokovic at Wimbledon (given equal equipment etc.)

Rod would school these young whippersnappers.
So would McEnroe.

Yeah. People make mistake thinking that we Fed fans only think Federer is god all the time. No, some sets he is just a regular saint.

 

[Wynter]

Clay - Kuerten vs Nadal or Coria-Nadal 05 again
Grass - Laver-Federer
Hardcourt - Federer-Safin/Safin-Nalbandian/Federer-Nalbadian

Yeah, but the OP asked for only one match. That's why this is such a good question, it's hard to decide if you only get one wish.

Any Hewitt match where he came back from 2 sets down.

Davis Cup 03 Maybe.

 

[Russeljones]

Easy question.

It would be Pete Sampras's last match.

 

[the green god]

Pancho vs McEnroe on carpet. No tiebreaks, wood only.

 

[The Green Mile]

Probably 1978 Borg vs 2008 Nadal at RG. Connors vs Djokovic at USO...:twisted:
