Default Best Tournament of 08?
Take Your Pick!

(For Dubai and Rome, I meant the ATP)

Can someone change the title to 08?

I didn't realize we could see into the future.

I'm assuming you mean 2008...

Yeah....

But the best tournament of 2009 will be Roland Garros, as long as we're talking about that .

ATP: Australian, hands down. But WTA, I have to go with the USO.

I picked Wimbledon.

But, I have to say that the the middle weekend of the AO was incredible. I think I was up and watching tennis for 30 hours straight.

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

Seriously though, I dont think enough people saw the Basel final between Federer and Nalbandian. In terms of shot making, Nalbandian was playing as well as last year in Madrid/Paris and Federer was playing as well as last year in Shanghai. Just watch these highlights.

I don't immerse myself in tournaments as much as many of you do, so it's hard for me to give a considered answer. But I have to agree with Aedra that the middle weekend of Australian was incredible. One amazing match followed another.

For concentrated greatness, that's up there with the non-main-court action at the US Open on Tailgate Saturday, with the five-set battles between Ferrer/Nishikori, Murray/Melzer, Del Potro/Simon and Wawrinka/Cipolla.

I had forgotten about that!

I did pick Wimbledon, though. With sensational upsets on both sides, the return of Safin, the rise of Jie Zheng, a high quality match with Venus against Serena, and the best men's final in years, if not ever, it's hard to compete with Wimbledon 2008.

Runner Up: Australian Open. Davenport created early buzz. The Serbians took out the Williams sisters. SO many exciting matches. Hewitt/Baghdatis, Federer/Tipsarevic, Roddick/Kohlschreiber, Tsonga/Murray, Jankovic/Paszek, Sharapova/Henin, Hantuchova/Ivanovic. It was some good stuff.

Maybe we should do most disappointing tournament of 08?

In general, Wimbledon always and forever. Though with the top 4 women playing so horribly (all out before the second week), I'd say the AO took top honors.

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

All out before the QF. Jankovic made the R16. Doesn't that count as second week?

Atrocious nontheless. Ivanovic losing is what made Wimbledon so special for me. Sharapova losing was wild too.

Agreed.

Though men's USO was pretty nifty, too.

Wimby had very nice finals, and a Safin resurgence, but I was pretty meh on it before the final days.

Of course I picked the US Open. It will always be the most special tournament for me regardless of who is playing. Any tournament in which tons of Tailgating TATers are in attendance is the best tournament of the year!

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.

Nicely thought out, Sammy!
