Best Tournament of 08? - Page 2 - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

AO is almost always the best tournament. In the middle of the winter and after the off-season.

What with some players not quite in form yet, always good for a few strange upsets.

The last three years have also all had great stories going into the men's finals.
2006--the emergence of Baghdatis and his crowd-stirring emotions
2007--Gonzalez playing sublime tennis (ridiculous winner/UFE ratios at least three matches in a row) to get to the finals
2008--the emergence of Tsonga as a top player

Thought about it for a while, and picked Miami. Lotta cool stuff went down there.

Serena crushes Justine
Lindsay crushes Ana
Davydenko crushes Nadal
Youzhny crushes his head
Sveta plays the best match of hers I've ever seen to beat Venus
Serena avenges Venus in another tight match
Roddick beats Roger
Kevin Anderson beats Novak
A phenomenally hotmessalicious Serena-Jelena final.

OMG! How could I forget!!??

(I almost picked 'other' and said Cincinatti.

I think all the people who are picking Wimbledon are picking Wimbledon because it was the Slam where Nole got eliminated the earliest.

It's all about Rafa

AO is almost always the best tournament. In the middle of the winter and after the off-season.

Middle of January down here is hell's kitchen. You couldn't make it more summer if you tried.

And yes, Miami is also a good choice.

I picked Wimbledon. Sorry, but Venus's win was just tooooo thrilling and that AWESOME showdown between Rafa and Fed just takes the cake

not to mention coming in the top 5 in PeterSkan's contest....

Gotta go with Wimbledon here. It had so many good storylines, and so many good matches.
Safin taking out Djokovic and making a mini-renaissance to make the semis
Clement and Schuettler battling it out for a place in the last grand slam semis of their careers
Zheng crushing Ivanovic and riding the momentum to the semis
Kudryavtseva getting mad at Sharapova's attire and beating her because of it
Safina giving her all despite an injury against Peer
The Williams sisters dominating after a poor showing at Roland Garros
And of course, THE match.
