Off season

While everyone is making hundreds of "Peak Player A vs. Peak Player B" threads let's discuss what the peak of each player is. Try to narrow it down as much as possible, as in either a tournament or even a single match. And include videos.

That Nike sanitary towel outfit that Momo's wearing has to rate as one of the fugliest tennis outfits ever

[Six Feet Under]

I think this is Peak Marion:

[AYUMI-GOAT]

Peak Jarka (well the points on here )

[Reephoria.]

Peak Pierce can only be measured in Biblical proportions.

[EnglishOak]

Chris Everest had the biggest peak in the world...

Omg I forgot about that one Serena was scary in that match, she badly wanted revenge over Mauresmo after losing to her in Rome just a few weeks before

I agree, I'll put that one in the OP too Too bad she hasn't played like that since

[JustPetko]

Petkovic:

Whole match was fantastic by Andrea, but 2nd set (from 4:20)

[claypova]

IMO, she played better in this match

[shoryuken]

One of my all time faves



and this one this year

[Stonerpova]

Peak Serena is against Stosur in Charleston this year. Never seen her play better.

Sharapova was also GOAT against Peer in Fed Cup, and and against Kerber in Beijing this year (despite the retirement).

[moby]

This is Serena's peak match:



She has come close to this form just a few times in her career, but never reached it again.

Sets 2 and 3
