French Open 2008. :hearts:

haha ana fans will always find shelter in 2008

WOW i got a bad rep from caralenko (my first) because one result was wrong.. is this person from this world?

2008 had some high quality finals, for sure.

Well, in 2011 no one choked and it was quality in the last three finals. Hope some good tennis can happen again at the Flushing Meadows.

02 :inlove: But really, 08.

Only three 3-setters since 2006 out of 23 finals. :eek:

1. 2002 because the best tennis player of the generation won 3/4 of the slams that year.
2. 2003 because the 2 best tennis players of the generation won the slams that year.
3. 2005 because the 4 best tennis players of the generation won the slams that year.
4. 2011 because the 2 players I wanted them to win slams this year won a slam finally.
5. 2007 because the 3 best players of the generation showed their successors how to win slam so convincingly.

Jar Jar Binks?
explain.

2003 or 2005

never noticed how one sided 07 was.

I read the question literally as if it asks which 4 slam FINALS (not which 4 slams) were collectively the best.

Those of 2003 and 2005 were clearly the best above the other years.

That was the 4 finals of 2005.

Wimbledon was great but the FO&USO titles were NID and duds.

Wimbledon was great but the FO&USO titles were NID and duds.No, those three were great finals and certainly not predicted by everyone BEFORE the matches took place.

Beating Safina is what I call a NID/dud final :lol:

LOL at your attempt to side shade me. Sorry that you couldn't see the results from a mile away. Looks like you have a long way to go honey.

In terms of quality of matches, 2008. In terms of drama, importance and closeness of matches 2003.

I think 2008 Wimbledon was the highest quality and 2005 Wimbledon the one with most drama.

2003 had some great finals. The AO final was really high quality.. and fitting. French Open final was shit as usual but the remaining two were alright.

2008 Wimb was one of the highest quality two set matches, along with the USO Final (as much as it pains me to give Junkovic credit). The french Open final was SHIT and the AO final was average.

Blah, maybe 2002.
2008 was nice, as well.
Jar Jar Binks?! Stop mocking on Jelena, she used to be good before!!!

2003 would have been a perfect blend of quality and drama if Kim hadn't stunk up the joint and fallen flat on her face in the big moments.

Im going to have to with 2008 :shrug:

The Last 10 FO finals are 2 setters :eek: USO 9 and counting :eek:

2003 and 2005

I'm suprised you didn't get any bad rep before :o

Cara :worship:

And yes she is from this world. ;)

sorry, i missed the time when being rude for no reason started to be cool.. i guess youll just think shes awesome in whatever she does.. in portuguese you are a PELA SACO.

ps: do i know you? hahahaha

2005 or 2006.
2008 had some high quality finals, for sure.
LOL yeah the last two were good quality.

2002 or 2008 for me.

2008 for obvious reasons... But Wimbledon and US Open were really entertaing also, 2008 by far

WOW i got a bad rep from caralenko (my first) because one result was wrong.. is this person from this world?:crying2:

2008 was wholly entertaining. Watching Sharapova play lights out and Ivanovic raise her level at the AO was brilliant in terms of just competitiveness.

The French Open final was a dud. Glad for the result, obviously, but the quality could have been raised, particularly from Safina's side.

Wimbledon 2008 was the best two set major final I'd seen.

The USO final was also amazing because of the contrasting styles.
