I still remember my friend calling out sick from work just to watch the entire 2012 AO final live, we had no idea it would turn into an all day marathon. It's funny how that one match basically sums up why the Nadal Djokovic rivalry hits different for me.

That little "apart from you know" in the OP made me chuckle cause it’s like everyone is tiptoeing around the big 3 while we all know it’s a pick your poison situation. For me the most underrated part of any rivalry is when one player completely dismantles the other's biggest weapon mid match, and no one did that moore brutally than Djokovic against Nadal's forehand on hard courts.

I see everyone saying Djokovic/Nadal or Federer/Nadal but tbh I think people sleep on Sampras and Agassi too much, that calsh of pure serve and volley versus the elite return was something you just don't get anymore.

honestly i gotta go with the sampras agassi rivalry from the 90s, it set the whole template for power baseline vs serve and volley that everyone copies now. the 2001 us open quarterfinal was insane, no tiebreaks in the 5th and the crowd was losing it every point. kinda underrated how that match alone shifted the betting odds for a whole generation of players coming up
