Certainly this has been already mentioned here somewhere: Soderling x Nadal in RG' 09, easily.

In the last 20 years, this is the biggest upset in tennis. Whatever is in second place, is behind this match by a huge margin.

Lol at people who thought Soderling was an established threat against Nadal citing Wimby in 2007. Dude took Nadal to five sets two years before, on a surface that favors hard hitters and STILL lost. The example is hardly a valid one

People have to keep in sight that Nadal lost only match between 2005 and 2014 in RG, and in that year he had already won the Australian Open, Indian Wells, Monte Carlo, Barcelona and Rome. Plus, he was winning very easily his matches before facing Soderling, including a crushing victory against Hewiit the round before...So, yes. It's pretty much unthinkable not to rank this as the biggest upset ever in tennis, and maybe even in sports.
