What was the best 2013 Slam Final

Australian Open, Djokovic vs Murray - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxig0l3Xte8

Roland Garros, Nadal vs Ferrer - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFbgW2E8QNg

Wimbledon, Murray vs Djokovic - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjY3LIKh41c

US Open, Nadal vs Djokovic - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u46nirNqcEU

I would say that Wimbledon was the best final of 2013:

1.The last game had insane drama.

2. It will probably rank as one of the greatest moments in British sporting history.

3. I was there! :) (Henman Hill)

By far between WIM and US Open.

AO was boring.
RG was boring. (Well as a Rafa fan I found it entertaining :grin: but as a tennis fan there wasn't much going on and followed the script)
WIM had some drama.
USO probably had the most drama.

I'd go with US Open.

I think the better question would be out of the semi's:

AO: Fed v Murray
RG: Nadal v Novak
WIM: Novak v Del Potro
US: Novak v Stan

AO - boring as are all Murray/Djokovic matches

FO - Nadal got to beat up on his pigeon

Wimbledon - See AO

USO - Best final, some quality tennis was played by both, though sadly rarely at the same time.

All the finals were pretty bad, the only one that was a decent match was USO 13. There were some amazing semis this year though.

The Wimbledon one had the most drama, but only because no one from the home country had won it. I don't think any of them were super this year.

All the official finals were pretty lackluster. The real final, the RG semi, aka "The War", was probably the best clay match I've ever seen.

I agree with most posters, finals were not compelling this year, in my opinion. the AO was monotonous (and letdown in comparison to 12).
Wimbledon hype was annoying. RG was David v. Goliath. US was decent because everyone wanted to know if Nadal on HC was for real or a mirage.

Wimbledon will be the only one that gets remembered from this year, it will probably still be talked about 20, 30, 40 years into the future.

The best tennis for me was probably the first two sets in Australia, there was nothing to split between the two players.
 
They were all terrible. If I had to pick one though, it would be the Wimby final, simply because of its historical significance. One could also add the slight Schadenfreude against Bob, but that would be rude;)

If you talk about atmosphere I gotta say Wimby.

USO's got a boring one sided last set.

AO's was actually got a good start, but when Djoker up his game, the match was over. It was so obvious.

Oh damn. That's tough. It would be between Wimbledon and US Open. I'd say US, despite having less drama, it was interesting in the context of the rivalry, and the level of play went sky high at times. Murray Djokovic is just boring.

The FO semi beat all of them though. That was the unofficial final.
