Me thinks the creator is definitely Italian...
Schiavone v Stosur 2010 French? Boring straight sets match. Stosur v Serena QF at the 2010 French was far better finishing 8-6 in the 3rd.
Vinci v Serena is a worthy #2 in terms of significance and biggest upset.
Pennetta v Vinci has absolutely no place on the list, boring match. So many better women's matches.
Razzano v Serena shouldn't be on the list at all. Like WTF? Stosur v Serena at the 2011 USO final was a far better match with more importance or Muguruza v Serena at the French 2016

I think the Sharapova beating Serena at the 2004 Wimbledon could be there. Huge match, 17 year old winning a slam over best female in the world. Or perhaps the 2004 WTA finals match between them which was a much closer match but same result

Soderling d Nadal should be higher
Isner v Mahut doesn't belong on there.

Do you agree with the Tennis Magazin list!

Not completely. My immediate thought are where's....

Wawrinka d. Djokovic, 2015 French Open?

And why is Pennetta d. Vinci, 2015 US. Open on the list?

I'm sure there are many others I either disagree with or have been left out.
 
6 of the 10 greatest matches are nadal? lmao

Didnt the 2008 wimbledon take 9 hours and had to finish in the dark due to rain delays?

Serena is on the list too many times as well, those matches were garbage ue fests

Seems like it, doesn't it?

Isner v Mahut doesn't belong on there.

Well, it was certainly memorable so I have no problem with its inclusion.

And I know I get criticised for banging the drum for Murray but couldn't his win over Djokovic at 2013 Wimbledon not be included? Whatever people's views on its quality the outcome is at least as memorable for British tennis fans as Pennetta vs Vinci is for the Italians? ;)
 
Should see it ( when you have some spare time) 4 h epic of great playing from Djokodal .
To me maybe the most heartbreaknig Novak loss but in a way it was turning point in their rivalry even Novak needed two more years to Rome11 clay masterclass.It's shame that it ruined the rest of clay season 09 for both of them.

People don't realize, one match can change a whole season for a player! Lendl's win in '84 at the FO was something he felt he needed a year to recover from! He got to the semi's of Wimbledon and the final at USO, but had nothing left in either losing in straights both times! Edberg's loss in '89 FO final probably cost him in the Wimbledon final against Becker; dropping a goose egg in there somewhere! Nole wasn't the same after 2012 AO classic over Nadal barely holding it together until 2014! :rolleyes: :p ;)
 
Why? Is it because Nole screwed up by colliding into the net that cost him the match?

Lol, if nachiket were so bothered about Djokovic's fall into the net, why would he think the match should be included on the list in the first place? You're seriously starting to lose the plot now Novak's edging that little bit closer to Federer's records TMF. Sad, but I guess kinda predictable.

True. Some people can enjoy great matches just because they are great as well.
 
How much of it did you watch? I'm wondering if there's anyone who watched that live in its entirety. I actually haven't seen a point of it. That scoreline's absurd though. I saw a clip of the umpire chuckling at his own "GSM" call.
I watched some of the last set. It wasn't to the level of tennis of Roddick v El Anouye in Australia one year(I think 22-20 in the fifth). The quality of the match was bad.
 
How can ppl say they find nadal boring when he's in the top 10, 6 times in that list. And please don't say he's only there because of Federer. And btw the list is definitely missing a few big matches but it's still a good list.
 
I was gonna say "What!? No, Sampras match?", then realized all of them are more than a decade old...I really do feel old!
