What is the greatest set of tennis played by one player?

[the green god]

Yes. This came to mind straight away when I saw the title of this thread. That whole year from McEnroe was just nuts to anyone who watched it unfold.

D a m n you all to h e l l, Ivan.

D a m n you all to h e l l, Ivan.

LOL. I was so rooting for Lendl in that final. Mac almost had him and then he woke up.

1st set of FO 2020 final which isn't in the poll.

I think it would have been pretty brutal the margin this set would have won the poll by if it was actually on it.

Surely in all the millions of ATP sets played so far, there must have been at least one where a player hit aces on all his serves and smashed winners on all his returns...

Not really the biggest stage or big opponent,but that was demolition job from Djokovic.I genuinely felt sorry for Berdych.

 

[TearTheRoofOff]

Of course but so has every other pro, they just don't whine it about as much and/or are the media darling. Personally, I fail to see a player who's the oldest YEC #1, has been winning slams for 15 year and is always fit as a fiddle for his best part of the season as especially injury prone but hey, maybe that's just me.

Well, it looks like you get my point

Meh, Djokovic donated Berdy a game.

JMac in 1984 may be the greatest year of tennis I ever saw.

Would have been the pergect year if he had won the FO.

Would have been the pergect year if he had won the FO.

Would change everyone's opinion of both Mac & Lendl

Pretty much.I think he had match point at 5-0..I was angry then I wanted perfect match.He blew it.

Always rooting for a double bagel when it's possible that it could happen.

Djokovic did beat Mahut in AO ‘12 on Mahut’s birthday with a score line of 6-0,6-1,6-1 and some incredible tennis along the way. As crispy as it gets. What a birthday present to Mahut, lol

Nadal Alcaraz also on his birthday. 6-1, 6-2, now have some cake

A lesson for the new gen is always welcome. What better day than a birthday. Lol

The 1st set of 2020 FO was more of a demolition 6-0 not the 3rd that was 7-5

 

[tennis24x7]

Why is the 3rd set of Nadal/Djokovic in the French Open final an option over the 1st set, which is probably the highest ever quality 6-0 set, especially for it to take place in a Grand Slam final?

Probably because too many people would vote for that option. So give the crappy 3rd set option, which was nothing special within the context of that match. LOL!

No, because it was against who that matters.

Any set in the Serena demolition job handed to her by Halep in the 2019 Wimbledon final. It was painful to watch as a Serena stan.
