Based on quality and suspense - or whatever your criteria - but not just rooting interest - what would you rank as the top three 5-setters from the 11 contested by Big 3 members?
Interestingly, the first two were held at Wimbledon, as were the most recent two, and five overall.
Three were held at the AO, two at the US, and one at RG.
Fed's been involved in 8, and both Nadal and Djokovic in 7.
There have been four featuring Fedal, four Fedovic and only three Djokodals, but the Djokodals were spread out over three slams.
Chronologically - not looking, so I hope I didn't miss any.
*** As was correctly pointed out by @duaneeo and @Third Serve, I confined this list to just their 5-set matches in the four majors. This was an oversight on my part, but if you were to just consider these 11 classics...***
a. Wimbledon 07 - Federer over Nadal
b. Wimbledon 08 - Nadal over Federer
c. Australian 09 - Nadal over Federer
d. US Open 10 - Djokovic over Federer
e. US Open 11 - Djokovic over Federer
f. Australian 12 - Djokovic over Nadal
g. French 13 - Nadal over Djokovic
h. Wimbledon 14 - Djokovic over Federer
i. Australian 17 - Federer over Nadal
j. Wimbledon 18 - Djokovic over Nadal
k. Wimbledon 19 - Djokovic over Federer
