The way the sun was going down during the last set of the '08 Wimbledon made it uniquely cinematic. Twilight made it an ethereal event.

A few since then are arguable but this has to be right up there. Shame the tiebreak was one sided.

Simply stunning tennis. But you are correct on Fed/Rafa - that was the best match I’ve ever seen.

not taking a thing away from the game above, but check out the 2001 Wimbledon Men’s Final some time
A 5-set epic* btn Pat Rafter (Australia) & Goran Ivanisevic (Croatia)
Ivanisevic: unseeded wild card, Rafter: #3
*& devastating for me (Aussie), on my knees weeping by the final point 😭
