Djokovic vs Nadal 2011. Both guys at their peak, some great matches. U.S. Open and Rome stand out.

Fed vs Nadal Wimbledon 2007. 2008 was great but Roger was not peak level. 2007 was better in my opinion, the rallies were insane.

Wawrinka vs Djoker 2013 AO- Stan played like I have never seen him before. I don't actually think it was peak Djoko for the whole match, but he produced amazing stuff when it mattered. Kickstarted Stan getting to the next level in his career too, so it's extra special for me.

Wawrinka and Djokovic have played some of my favourite matches together. Safin v Agassi AO 2004 was quality, Nadal v Djokovic AO 2012 was very interesting, Federer v Nalbandian Paris 07 was a nice match, Kraijcek v Sampras W96 gets a mention too.
 
What a match!
Yes, but the way it ended was so anti-climactic. Didn't it end 6-2 in the final set to Djokovic?

I wouldn't say Del Po was playing his best on that day. He played his best for maybe a set and a half. You want to see his best? Go watch US Open final 2009. The guy was hitting forehands that broke the sound barrier.

Hilarious that you claim 11 was peak Rafa... You are such an unabashed Novak fanboy.

Sorry but this trumps all. Behold what attacking tennis is all about:

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Fantastic tennis; I remember that match well. Someone else mentioned Sampras v. Becker's ATP tour final--another display of incredible tennis; each was his own player with unique game theory/approach, but when both were "on," they were well matched, and it was always something to enjoy.

No! Considering what Djokovic went on to do later that year and the fact that he had beaten Rafa twice in a row on clay prior to the French, it's inconceivable to think Djokovic was playing anywhere close to his best in that semi final.
Inconcievable for you, perhaps. :lol:

If you listen to some posters on here, there can be no "god mode vs god mode", as one player would "stop" the other player from playing well. It's magic!
 
That's why I said "almost all". Do any European players ever thank God for anything?
So you did. My bad. Apologies. I think you're right, most players don't thank God. Maybe they don't believe in him. Don't see anything wrong with that.

After most of his victories, Andy Murray points to the sky like so:
Andy-Murray-v-Grigor-Dimitrov.jpg

I've always wondered what this (^) is about. Is he thanking "someone" or "something" "up there"? If so, whom?

If you think Djokovic was playing his best after over 5 full days off the only thing inconceivable is this statement. :eek:
You're entitled to your opinion, but it's not one that's commonly held.
Outside of Novak's other fanbois, you won't find many who agree with you.
Actually watching the match will reveal why this is.

Well I have killer Cahill on my side who said fed played a great match but djokovic momentum was broken and went into the match cold. Just this past french during the nadal match. Nothing Fan boy about that. I understand anything against fed being perfect is considered fan boy around here.

If he couldn't shake that off after a set or two at most, he had no business being in that match in the first place.
But he was playing as well as in any of his previous clay matches anyway, I've specifically watched this match to compare and stave off the stupid Fognini excuse.
This kind of stuff is Chico level, moaning about the scheduling and umpires etc.

No excuses.

Cahill might be chico. This is an outrage and an scandal!
Possibly.
The commentators aren't gods, they're very often fanbois of whoever is currently the best player.
I only pay attention to commentators on technical aspects of the game (as many are ex-players they know about that stuff).
Aside from that, it's an scandal indeed.

Hewitt Nalbandian 2005 AO, hard to gather highlights though.

Hewitt Baggy at the AO was also great.

Otherwise Safin-Agassi had some superb battles

One of my favorite all time God Mode V God Mode match is Nadal V Verdasco AO 09. Both were in the form of their life, and to me, this was the best match either has played on a HC, purely because both were in God Mode and it went right down to the final point
The fourth set tiebreak is my favourite ever.

Djokovic is playing crap here, what a troll :p

Nadal is doing so badly that all you have left is too troll Djoko fans. It's tragic. Just
like you going into the beat Djokovic celebration thread and posting silly gifs that aren't related to his celebrations. Or complaining about his celebrations when Nadal is far more obnoxious than anyone in that respect but you celebrate that etc, calling him ultron.

To dislike a player solely because they are a threat to their fave and to be so biased and hypocritical and have no objectivity is so childish. Djokovic was not at his best in the FO final. That's a fact. Was he playing badly? No. But after the first set he was exceptionally passive. But obviously you have to rely on my man Stan since Djokovic absolutely embarrassed Nadal. That's why you are trying to argue that Novak was peak.

Man, you'll say anything to avoid staying on topic and admitting Stan laid a beatdown on peak Ultron. It's tennis boo bear, it happens :) I know the feeling from after the 2014 AO, thinking you have a slam final on lock, it will pass

No one was more delighted than me that Stan won. My problem is butthurt Nadal fans like you pretending you wanted Stan to win when really all you wanted was Djokovic to lose. You haven't helped your cause with this immature reply. Boo bear? Haha...

Didn't you say you were almost 30????

Hilarious you try and deny it. He was way better than in 2010 in which he vultured due to the worst competition in history. Fact. Look at his slam draws, amazing stuff. He beat way more top 10 players in 2011. Peak Novak schooled peak Nadal and people like you have never forgiven him :D

In 2010, his best year results wise, he didn't even have an all time great year. That says it all about his ability to dominate. End of discussion. Not going to address the trollish Nadal fanboys like you and MN anymore.

Nadal V Davydenko Rome 2007

Great God Mode match! :) Just shows how tough a match up Davydenko was for Nadal, even at the height of Nadal's powers on clay.

Sorry, should ignore the trolls. Some people are using this thread to get digs in because of their own bitterness.

Anyway, Davydenko was indeed a nightmare opponent for Nadal, especially on HC. So sad he never won a slam :(

I've liked Stan since 2013, so you can have several seats with your lack of information :) (and FO title)

Sure you have buddy. I'm not going to address you again because your posts are absolutely pathetic, which is a shame. You seemed to be quite decent on other topics, but on the topic of tennis you have zero knowledge, zero objectivity and zero maturity. End of my discussion with you.

30 years old. Ouch.
