What are some incredible tennis matches you haven't watched fully

Skip exams to watch matches? Wow that's some dedication right there..
I wish I could do the same in my college or school years, but didn't have mobile or laptop to begin with at that time ;)
Very intense years, mostly 2011-2014. I'm also lucky to have been heavily invested in 2009, we will never see a season like that again, every tournament was memorable.
 
Tbh, a lot of tennis fans talk like experts about matches they only watched 15 minutes highlights of.


I'll start with a bashing one.

I never watched the full 2008 Wimbledon Final, I watched a bunch of parts of it, but not close enough to the full match.

What bout you's
I pretend to behave like I didn't watch like 60 of the federer matches where he either had a break point or outplayed his opponent and still ended up losing.
 
The only Nadal match I missed part of was his 5-setter with Isner at the 2011 French Open.
Considering how rare 5-setters are for Rafa at Roland Garros, I feel very bad about missing that, but I accidentally fell asleep in the 2nd Set and woke up half-way through the 5th Set.
I wonder if you thought you were still dreaming when you saw Rafa in a 5th set in a first round of RG, and with Isner of all people. ;)

That reminds me of 2010 when I watched the Federer/Falla Wimbledon 1st round with my best friend and he told me before it started that the night before he dreamed it would be 5 sets. And then I said something like "Absolutely no way". :-D
 
Still looking for a good quality youtube upload of the Courier-Brugu(e)ra FO final. The one I found isn't of good enough quality for me to enjoy looking at.

Edit: I will never buy any tennis match online so I wouldn't look for a paid for version.

2012 AO final between Novak-Nadal. I couldn't take 40 seconds between points, so I DVD'ed it after set 3. Then just watched the highlights. That was a 6 hour match with 64 minutes of actual play.
