I would say that the best final was in 2011 as that had overall the highest level of play and some truly spectacular rallies; for me its just the ultimate grindfest from the past few years.

It's also interesting to compare the way Nadal played in the finals he won to the final he lost. In 2010 and 2013 he is aggressive and assertive, playing close to the baseline whilst in 2011 he is much more reactive and passive, playing far behind the baseline.

They are all brilliant in their own way, but I think the match with the highest quality throughout, is the 2010 final.

2011 of course.

2010 IMO.

Nadal was dominant at the USO this year, just a bit more dominant in 2010.

Nole IMO was playing better in 2010 at Flushing than he was this year

None of them were that great. 2011 by a hair because there was a little bit of drama in the third set.

2010 I would say since Nadal was simply incredible that tournament. Djokovic in the final also played very well, was just outclassed.

2011 the rallies were really good, but the serving from both was poor, especialy form Nadal.

2013 was always Nadal's to lose but he did not mantain his form of all summer and all tournament prior in the final for whatever reason, while Djokovic lost it mentally in the 4th set.

2010 final was best

2011 easily had the best rallies

Voted 2011, electric atmosphere and incredible rallies.

I could have voted 2013 though, this final made me earn 4000 dollars :lol:
