Best sports event of the year so far (Wimbledon)

Incredible. Greatest tennis match I've ever seen. So much drama. So much tension. It was just epic.

Second best one I've ever seen. I still think the best match I've ever seen was the '89 Chang vs. Lendl match. Unseeded Chang totally mind-screwed one of the most resilient players to ever play the game.

Tiger winning the US Open was amazing but I'd have to say this one tops it by just a little.

They just replaced the definition of "epic" in Funk and Wagnalls New Practical Standard Dictionary of the English Language, Vol. 1 & 2.

6/4, 6/4, 6/7, 6/7, 9/7 - Nadal
Roughly 4 3/4 hours of "elapsed" play.
Three rain delays, totaling 2 1/2 hours., stretching total time of event to nearly 7:45 hours, ending at roughly 9:15 pm London time, 15 mins shy of the "postponed for darkness" deadline.

I'm soooo glad I stuck with that for the duration. It was remarkable!

 

[MC KAos]

i didnt know who to cheer for, it was really intense, both of them deserve so much credit for their performances

 

[Nors]

That goes up there with the Borg/McEnroe classic.

 

[Cochese]

Disapointed I diddnt get to see this today, but happy Rafa won. I got nothing against Roger, but I find Nadal so much more entertaining to watch.

 

[alby]

by far, the best match I've seen in my lifetime.

 

[yeahyeah]

Pretty amazing stuff. It gets my vote.

Best Matches I've seen:

Borg/McEnroe - that 5 set epic

Wilander/McEnroe - believe they went over 5 hours

Connors? Chang? That US open match when 38 year old Connors gutted one out

Those 3 stand out - missed yesterdays great match.

Sampras and Agassi had a few greats... especially that last Open final they had a few years ago.

Then the Sampras 5 setter in the Open when he was vomiting behind the baseline. I think it was against Corretja??

But yesterday's match is tough to beat.

Even if you aren't a Tennis fan, your an idiot if you didn't that was exciting, or an epic.

My wife is not a tennis fan and even she was glued to the TV... great entertainment and a great match...

I missed the finals for both the mens and women's matches this year. But from what I gather, both were some of the best tennis finals in a while.

The Venus and Serena match finally lived up to some of the hype.

And the men's finally outshined the women's matchup for the first time in years.

Really hate that I missed them.

 

[DallasCowpoke]

For those that missed or wanna re-watch the finals.

To me, a very underrated match was the Blake v. Andre match at the US Open a couple years ago when it went into a 5th set tiebreaker. They were given a standing O in the middle of a set, that was classic.
