BONUSMO Posted 15 hours ago #30 Posted 15 hours ago Too real bro lol. I love thier match tho, peak stuffs
Lyrawyn Posted 14 hours ago #31 Posted 14 hours ago 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.
legacyurver44 Posted 11 hours ago #33 Posted 11 hours ago 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.
vyxrieon Posted 11 hours ago #34 Posted 11 hours ago 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.
gladeynienne Posted 11 hours ago #35 Posted 11 hours ago 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
larsalan Posted 10 hours ago #37 Posted 10 hours ago Fedal was art but betting on Djokodal over 4.5 hours felt like free money for years lmao
vycaeick264 Posted 10 hours ago #38 Posted 10 hours ago my grandpa sttill claims borg mcenroe was better cause the wooden rackets made it real😅
sophkaon9 Posted 9 hours ago #40 Posted 9 hours ago Evert and Navratilova. 80 matches over 15 years with contrasting styles and a level of consistency that no modern pair can match.
cedardra Posted 5 hours ago #43 Posted 5 hours ago Honestly Federer Sampras at Wimbledon 2001 felt like a passing of the toch moment that changed everything, you could see the old guard crumbling in real time. The odds on a teenage Federer beating the king on his own court were insane but that five setter was just pure magic.
yxanelle04 Posted 5 hours ago #44 Posted 5 hours ago Federer and Nadal was magic but I always loved watching Sampras and Agassi clash, felt like two completely different worlds colliding.
vyxeltia Posted 5 hours ago #46 Posted 5 hours ago Not mentioning Sampros and Agassi feels like a crime honestly.
thoxratos Posted 4 hours ago #47 Posted 4 hours ago Borg and McEnroe felt like two completely different sports trying to coexist on the same court.
rexrioria Posted 4 hours ago #48 Posted 4 hours ago I still rememer watching Serena and Sharapova at the 2005 Australian Open, that screaming and intensity felt like a whole different sport honestly.
luxarlyn Posted 1 hour ago #49 Posted 1 hour ago For me its Fed and Djoker honestly. That 2011 US Open semi where Fed hit that insane return winner is still burned in my brain lol but anyway what surface do you think defined the rivalries the most overall?
