Del Potro vs Murray 6-4,5-7,6-7,6-3,6-4. Davis Cup 1/2 Final. Easily bast match of the year.


Some other fantastic matches:
Nishikori vs Murray -Us Open
Del Potro vs Djokovic,Nadal and Murray -Olympics
Federer vs Cilic -Wimbledon
Djokovic vs Nishikori -Rome
 
Del Potro-Nadal Olympics. A lot of twists and turns in that one. Second I would say Del Potro-Murray Davis Cup. I put Olympics higher because that clearly meant a lot more to the players than Davis Cup.
 
If Delpo brought his A Game vs Murray at the Olympic Final, it would have been a major epic, more than it was, let's just say we know why Murray played to his backhand.

Federer vs Cilic was one wild ride at Wimbledon.

Wawrinka vs Rosol at the French Open was really entertaining if you got to watch it.
 
Delpo Djok at olympics, Delpo nadal olympics, Delpo Murray Davis cup, Stan Evans US open, Stanimal Djok US Open. All classic matches.
 
Stan Djoker US Open was an exciting match for the first 3 and a quarter sets, then it was marred by Novak's sore big toe.
 
Has to be Nadal Delpo Olympics SF. Unfortunately I kept myself awake to watch that match completely until 2 am, only to see Nadal lose in epic.

For 2 sets yes.
Anyway,Stan vs Dan was a good one,(USO)but Fed vs Cilic was a cracker!

He broke Federer's spirit mentally in these first 2 sets. You could tell by the look on Federer's face that he knew he had no chance and he just couldn't win. He broke his spirit so much that in the end he believed no more.

I don't think he did at all.
Federer looked like he just said to himself,I've got nothing to lose,so I'll relax and see if his level drops.(which it had to)
Fed would have lost in straights otherwise,and it was very tight in the 4th set too.

Ha ha...
Seriously though that match could have gone 5,but I think Fed would have been gassed and lost anyway.
Funny though in the last 3 meetings at the AO(not including '07)Fed couldn't win a set,(being younger) but at 34 and Nole being in his prime,he took a set somehow.

Yes. That match was the real final. Djokovic was playing at a great level in the first 2 sets, arguably better than against Federer in 2008 and 2011 SF matches.

Cilic decided to tank.

yeah, he got until MPs and decided to tank. no doubt, you taught him the technique, didn't ya ?

here's a tip : federer has beaten almost every one of sampras' records. The sooner you are at peace with that, the better it will be for you.

Del potro v murray at olympics and in Davis cup.

Murray v nishikori at USO. As I was there and screaming my head off for Andy im going for that match even though he lost! I had way too much champagne but at 25 dollars per glass I thought what the hell u only live once and it went well with a hot dog and cheeseburger!!

Nadal Pouille was high drama, but the quality wasnt impressive tbh

Nadal was woeful! Pouille had so much more game that if he was more consistent he would have straight setted nadal.

These days nadals serve is more suited to the WTA than ATP If we are brutally honest.
