Megan makes an excellent point about the Hewitt/Baghdatis match.

Thank you, sir, but Martini4Me deserves the tip for that one. I shouted-out Bagdahtis' wins in his breakout year. I think the Hewitt match that went till 4 am was a later year, 07 or 08.

Gasquet's win over Roddick in Wimbledon QF also deserves at least an honorable mention.

Aha. Then good on Martini. Anyone else remember Baghdatis leaving the court in tears after that match?

Speaking of Baghdatis and tears, I have a soft spot for Agassi d. Baghdatis at the 2006 US Open. That to me is worth more than the win over Blake in route to the 2005 final that they've chosen here.

But back to Melbourne: Rafa d. Verdasco this year!

This list has irked me.

Just in terms of performance, though not history or drama, Roger's SF match against Andy at AO 07 also deserves to be mentioned.

LOL. They just keep popping up. Another phenomenal match.

And for those of us who stayed awake into the early morning last year (I remember several of us following it live here), the Kohlschreiber d. Roddick Australian Open match was one of the most amazing I have ever seen, bar none. Maybe it's hard to work in mention of an R32 won by a rather obscure player, but that was simply brilliant tennis.

Maybe you're on the west coast if you're talking about staying up late for that one, but I remember getting in to work in the morning, turning on a live stream and watching the last hour of that with jaw hanging open.

I can still picture him wiping away the tears as he walked off the court. Isn't it amazing how many great matches Baghdatis was involved in, considering how short a time he was really at his peak? How I wish he could get it (health, fitness, attitude, his game) all together again!

I think it ought to do better than that. And I was heartbroken by the result.

**payporanymn** · 12-22-2009, 08:38 PM

Rafa over Coria in Rome anyone?

**loikrso** · 12-22-2009, 09:22 PM

Rafa over Coria in Rome anyone?

Yes. It's on my Top 5 list. Which I'm still working on. LOL

**sherrferris** · 12-22-2009, 10:17 PM

You guys should be the writer(s) you pick way better match than they/he/she did.

I laughed at Roger only having one good match in his career. Even the 2007 I think or was it 2008 AO (QF???) Roger/Tipsy match was better than some mentioned on the list.

And the Roddick/Younes match so def. should have been mentioned.
