From both.GOAT performances or quality from both?
I think the Federer-Roddick Wimbledon final was the best tennis match I have ever seen on any surface. The quality was consistent, from the first point to the last, both players were outstanding and the drama lasted until match point was in the books. I know Borg-McEnroe and Nadal-Federer have captured more of the world's imagination, because those were both ATGvsATG, but just on quality of tennis I think Federer vs Roddick has them beat.Have your say. I am sure all lists will be excellent.![]()

Grass is tough by this parameter(High Quality) From both (players)
Nice list. I hear the Chang-Edberg French final was high quality stuff tooClay:
Lendl-McEnroe FO 1984
Chang-Lendl FO 1989
Courier-Agassi FO 1992
Kuerten-Ferrero FO 2000
Nadal-Coria Rome 2005
Nadal-Federer Rome 2006
Federer-Del Potro FO 2009
Federer-Djokovic FO 2011
Wawrinka-Gasquet FO 2013
Nadal-Djokovic FO 2013
Yes of course I meant 1991. Didn't have 1992 on my mind at all, weird typo.Nice list. I hear the Chang-Edberg French final was high quality stuff too
Loved the Agassi-Courier... I think you meant 1991? That was an awesome match. 1992 was an out and out drubbing as I recall... and everyone seemed to know it was going to be beforehand
Didn't like the del Potro-Federer 09 one... Some really below par stuff from both guys for large parts of it
AO 2012 final was an enhanced performance alright.Great thread.
I'm amazed nobody brought up the AO 2012 final yet. Utter epic of endurance and baseline consistency.
The 2005 USO final between Fed and Agassi was awesome to watch. I've rarely if ever seen such a high quality of sustained ballstriking brilliance from 2 guys. Probably two of the best ballstrikers ever and experts at taking the ball early on the rise.
