Dream Matches and Best Matches Ever

I have so many best matches ever to watch and remember that it is now hard to say what is the best match of all times.

I still remember Rosewall and Laver in Houston for the WCT finals in 1971 and I suppose there were others but this one stands out to me.  Video.

Here are the dream match-ups that I found listed on Yahoo for 2013.

How about McEnroe vs Wilander in the Davis cup match that lasted 6 hours.


This site isn't bad.  It has a personal choice for the top 20 best matches with a slide show.  I agree with about half of these.  Of course I didn't see all of them, but it is likely the writer didn't see all the matches I've seen either.

I still can't believe it has been 31 years since Mac beat Wilander in that Davis Cup match.  I will have to say Mac is a great commentator for tennis matches but he still has that temper going onto the court.

Wilander is a gentleman and his traveling tennis camps are a great testament to his love of the game and his willingness to share it.
