The title means which important tournament wins of your favourite player you liked least?

For me

Djokovic: USO 2015( Could have given one to pensionerer)



Federer : AO 2006/10 or Wimbledon 2009
2010,I loved while watching it but in later years due to Murray breakdown I have lowered it down.

2006 AO just didn't feel right to me

Wimbledon 2009 is the oddest It should have been Fred's crowning GOAT moment.But Roddick basically removed that storyline from my head by his play.I wanted him to win.


Murray: None Cause Mugray is a kind man always considerate of the tour,therefore carefully peaks in selected tournaments.

I would have to go with AO 2006. He wasn't playing great and the only reason he won it was because of a weak draw.
 
Djokovic: Wimbledon 2015. Just kinda boring to watch the whole thing play out. Nothing out of the ordinary apart from Dustin, but he promptly lost next round, which was disappointing.
 
US open 2005. Got bad back Andre in the final. Wimbledon 2017 he faced an injured crying Cilic in the final.

He got 35 year old Andre in the final. Agassi got a back injection prior to the match and always said his back wasn't as issue in the final, but his age was. He still played phenomenally well and was up a break in the third, after having won the second. He ran out of gas, probably because of several long matches leading up to the final.
 
Can't have a least favorite slam won by my favorite if my favorite doesn't win slams

But it meant so much to him. It was obviously very important. And we would call USO09 a weak draw too if Fed had won the final.

He would have won USO 2009 by beating two top 10 players (Delpo at his best) and two top 20 players (Söderling & GOATredo). Fairly solid draw. The final could have been a GOAT match had Fed won it in 5 (plus his tweener against Novak would be more memorable by winning the title).
 
Have a feeling that this is a Fedal thread in disguise. When we're talking about big titles people normally care only about slams, and none of the recent players other than Fedal have won enough slams to afford one of his wins being discredited. Well, we've got Djokovic, but he's being scrutinized to death based on his current form you'd think he deserved none of his slams.:D
 
When Gillou wasted SPs in both sets in the Shanghai 14 Final against Fed. If Fed had won IW this year, that would have been another...

I remember both sets being close, but didn't think Simon had SPs in both sets. So I checked.

it was Fed who wasted 2 SPs in the 1st set. Simon did so in the 2nd set.

1st set :

"The 33-year-old easily took the next game and had two set points against the serve but Simon battled back and it went to a tie-break. Both players had mini-breaks but it was Federer who edged ahead and he took the set with a backhand."

2nd set :

"The Frenchman was showing great spirit as he was made to work hard on his serve while providing little resistance against Federer’s. He did mount some pressure in the 12th game and gained two set points against the serve but Federer saw them off and took it to another tie-break."

I seem to remember Simon having SP in the 1st set TB and 2 SPs on return in the 2nd set. My own notes confirming this.
 
From the Nadal canon it'd have to be Roland Garros 2007. Obviously it's not going to be any of the non-Roley G ones, and I'd say every other one of his Paris runs holds more significance than this one which was just a lesser version of the previous years run:

05: The first. Beats man who was roiding in the final
06: Beats Fed in final after spending 5 more hours on court.
08: Art
10: Vengeance. Completes clay slam. First of three slams in a row.
11: Huge sigh of relief after having his ass handed to him over and over.
12: Doesn't lose all 4 slam finals in a row. Passes Borg for 7th title.
13: The comeback. Passes Petros, Tilden and Renshaw with most titles at single slam.
14: 10 straight years winning a slam. Whoever thought he'd set longevity records?
17: The comeback part 2. Passes Sampras total.
 
Well, one title about which I didn't feel anything when Fed won it was the Real Slam in 2014. I was like meh...
 
Wimbledon 2009. Probably the only time I wanted someone other than Fed to win. Felt for Roddick that day, he played awesome tennis.
 
For Federer, it has to be the '09 Wimbledon cuz man I still feel bad for A-Rod even 9 years later.
For Nadal, it has to be this past US Open since the only quality opponent he had was Delpo who was a dead bird after the first set
For Nole, I think all of his were very well deserved, although had he won the '16 USO, that one would've been the least stellar by a landslide
 
-Federer
AO 2006: He wasn't playing as well as in others and didn't play the best players.
WIM 2009: He wasn't playing his best and Roddick just choked everywhere.
-Nadal
UO 2017: Wasn't his best level and didn't play the best players.
-Djokovic
UO 2015: Not his best level and Federer choked in some areas.
 
RG 2017 was dull compared to the big (at least in hype) matches we've seen Rafa go through to win the tournament in the past like the Fed rivalry 05 - 08 & 11, the Soderling revenge match in 2010 and the Djoker rivalry 12 - 14.
