What are some great, lesser known matches from this year?

[papertank]

Looking for awesome matches to watch during the off season. I've seen the well known matches such as the GS finals and important upsets and such. Any lesser known matches that are great watches?

 

[President]

Ferrer vs Tipsarevic comes to mind.

 

[Bobby Jr]

Llodra vs Del Potro in Paris/Bercy was a great display of guile and cunning by Llodra.

 

[Homeboy Hotel]

Tsonga Nishikori AO 2012

 

[Cup8489]

Djoke Hewitt AO.

 

[Headshotterer]

Steve Johnson D Ernests Gulbis

Federer-Wawrinka Shanghai? Maybe not great, but Wawrinka came pretty close to winning there, which would ruin Federer's chances of getting 300 weeks of No.1. I have also never seen someone tank like Wawrinka in that third set.

JJ played two straight five-setters @Wimby, beating Gulbis before losing to Florian Mayer in the 3rd round.

Wawrinka x Seppi in rome, wich Wawa blew 6 match points away.

You should see my 13yo cousin playing...

I thought Kohlschreiber vs Monfils on the indoor hardcourts of Metz was an out and out banger when I watched it, haven't watched it again but here it is:

Wawrinka x Seppi in rome, wich Wawa blew 6 match points away.

That was a choke of epic proportions.

@ OP. Hard to think of any this year.

I do think Kohlschreiber - Tsonga at Wimby was a high quality and entertaining match until the last set.

Another match that springs to mind is the 5th set of Isner vs. Mathieu at the French.

Monfils beating Nadal in the Qatar Open was also a match with jaw-dropping rallies.

 

[Tammo]

ferrer vs murray wimbledon was just great 3 tbs and 1 6-4 set very high quality

 

[FedererDropShot]

Seppi vs Djokovic.

Jerzy Janowicz vs Andy Murray.

As a Federer fan:

Federer VS Davydenko Rotterdam SF - Davy was playing some great tennis but Fed fought back and prevailed.

Federer VS Del Potro Dubai SF - 2 tight sets and Fed winning 6 straight points at the end to seal it

Federer VS Harrison Miami R64 - Was in destructive mode at the start, though choked a bit at the end was a really routinerer.

Federer VS Raonic Madrid R32 - how to S&V on clay

Federer VS Seppi Rome QF - God mode, didn't miss a single first serve until set point

Federer VS Haas Halle F - Great tennis from the old German

Federer VS Fish Cinci QF - Again great quality match from both players

Oh add Janowicz VS Simon Paris SF - First set was mind blowing

 

[soyizgood]

Errani-Radwanska YEC was quite entertaining.

 

[merwy]

Nadal-Ferrer Barcelona final was very good quality. Ferrer really could (maybe should) have won that won.

 

[Gonzo_style]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Kohlschreiber-Haas 2R Wimbledon, that was a great match...

 

[underground]

Nadal-Ferrer Barcelona final was very good quality. Ferrer really could (maybe should) have won that won.

Yeah that was really close, didn't Ferrer served for the 2nd set as well? It was like the same in Rome, but Ferrer just ran out of steam and got bagelled in the end.
