Arthur Ashe upsets Jimmy Connors in ’75. Old guys could play then and they can play now – sometimes the game in your head and not your legs
2005 federer vs agassi what a match
my favorite would be djokavic and nadal final last year
federer vs novak 2010 semi final one of the sets was my favorite it was a crowd pleaser and i went crazzy
When I was watching Novak’s tennis matches, I was impressed by his serves and gameplay. This motivated me to do better and strive higher.
The 2012 Djokovic v. Murray Australian open Semifinal. That was an inspirational match. Very intense and close, between my two favorite players.
my two favorite also great to see them in the final now
I’ll go with 2010 Federer/Novak semifinal. They were both amazing.
When Jack Sock and Melanie Oudin won the Mixed doubles event in 2011. A good way to make a name on the tennis tour as an up and coming star even though he is ranked, I feel, 100-130 places too low.
When Nadal played Novak. I was actually thinking about quitting tennis,but seeing their determination made me want to work harder and play again
I definitely believe it is the Jimmy Connors versus Aaron Krickstein in five (5) hour marathon in 1991. It went through two (2) days. Also it was Jimmy Connors
thirty-ninth (39th) birthday where the crowd sang “Happy Birthday” to Jimmy. Also the famous quote that Jimmy said: “This is what they want”, This match definitely showed the warrior he really was.
When Roddick won it all in 2003 thats when I got obsessed with tennis
Roger’s shot when he was playing Djokovic,Roger’s best shot EVER
when agassi played sampras that was when i started playing tennis and i have bean wanting a new raquet for ages
good luck to myself
When Andre Agassi finished his final us open match and gave his retirement speech in tears to a standing ovation
Djokovic vs Federer
has to be when Roddick won it all
Andre Agassi vs Pete Sampras in 2001
Andre Agassi vs Sampras… it was a beautiful battle
When A-Rod defeated Juan Carlos Ferrero in straight sets (63 76 63) at the 2003 Flushing Meadows finals……I just love his game. Roddick u r d best…U rock…Hope u win this tym again
when agassi played sampras that got me started playing tennis
cool
my favorite also
2011, when Djokovic beat Nadal in 4 sets. I still remember the exasperated look on Rafa’s face when nothing he did was shifting the momentum to his favor despite Novak’s seemingly exhausted state through the latter half of the match.
It was Agassi and Sampras and I was about 3 at the time my dad had changed the channel and I was amazed and my dad explained to me when I was older what had exactly happened and that’s why he had me start playing tennis and now I have been committed to it. His serve and volley style was exciting to me and the standing ovation they good was well deserved. They both played very well!
For whatever reason in 1982, I had been “grounded” It must have been something really bad, because Dad wouldn’t even let me leave the house to play tennis. In the days of no cable TV, I was forced to watch the Jerry Lewis Telethon (torture at that age) or The Open. I watched McEnroe, my personal favorite at the time, get upset by Van Patten. The tournament went on to feature Connors winning his 2nd to last Grand Slam over Ivan Lendl, he won 5 in his career. I think I saw the light of day a week or so later after my grounding was lifted.
It was an epic match between Roddick and Isner in the 4th round in 2009.I can’t forget that tragedy, and even today i’m sad because after that Wimbledon final against Federer i was really hoping for him to win the US Open.
Ok this is taking it back, but do you remember an 18 year old Agassi beating Conners, then 36, at the 1988 Open Quarter finals?
Melanie Oudin making her run in the 2009 Open making it to the quarters. She had my whole family watching every night. She had my 9 year old twin daughters asking when does Melanie play again? It really peaked their interest in the game.
Aggasi’s last win at the open I’ll never forget!
Many hours and puking from the players lol.
Agassi-Blake in Quarterfinals of Us Open 2005. Blake was so near of victory, but the victory escaped from his hands. Fifth set tiebreak was amazing, with the spectators fully into it.
Fed coming so close in last year’s semi’s. That was some great end of match drama.
My tennis memory is when I saw Jack Sock and Melanie Oudin fight their way through in Mixed Doubles last year. It was such a huge surprise, who would have thought the young guns would win a grand slam? Amazing.
I had the pleasure of watching Agassi’s final win at the US Open. It was a late evening match against Baghdatis that went well past midnight. Andre pulled out an epic 5 setter while Marcos feel to the court with severe cramps in his legs. That night, I proposed to my (now) wife!
By far the most memorable match at the US Open for me was in 2005 in a quarter final match between Andre Agassi and James Blake. This match was an absolute boxing match. Agassi fell in the first two sets to the younger Blake losing set one and two 3-6 & 3-6. Being late in Agassi’s career the 5 set comeback was looking unlikely yet somehow my favorite player at the time found the strength to dig deep and win the third set 6 -3, win the fourth set 6-3 and force the 5th under the lights at night in front of a wildest NYC audience I have ever seen. The J-Block was in full effect backing thier guy but ole man Andre wasn’t going down without a fight. Well past 1am the match was destined to conclude in dramatic fashion. After some of the most amazing rally’s I had ever seen in a match Agassi found a way to pull ahead when it mattered most to win the 5th 7-6(8-6). I had never seen a more grueling match up to that point where both men fought out of their minds trying to win. The audience showed great respect to both men and it was a match that left a long lasting impression on me to this day. That’s my most cherished US Open memory. : )
Novak saving two match points in 2011 us open vs. federer.
2003 andy roddick wins it
Pete Sampras vs Andre Agassi 2001 Quarterfinal It was when I first started watching tennis
US Open 2002: Sampras vs Agassi, Men’s Final
Epic!
It has to be about federer at the open. The magic and the genius shot making that he brings over and over again. I am still feel awe that he did tweeners at the open.
2010 Novak Vs Roger Semifinal.OMG what incredible rallies.. over the top tennis… ridiculous how good these 2 are.
1991, Connors vs Krickstein Connors winning with pure desire.
2005 US Open. Federer vs Agassi…. Always rooting for the old underdog.
2008 US Open final against Andy Murray in straight sets.
2003 us open semi final between roddick and nalbandian . I was playing my freshmen year in college first match of the season in a team tournament. We traveled to Montreal. The match was on, I had to go play. Roddick was losing. I came back he won the third set tie break saved match points, and dug deep to win. From that moment I was inspired, and battled hard in my next match for a three set win. Roddick has been my favorite player, and has taught me to fight like a champion and never give up.
I have to say that my fondest memory was 2007, Roger Federer’s “Darth Federer” outfit for his night sessions. It was especially exciting at night with all the energy the crowd put out. It was electric. That was a lot of fun to watch Fed and Nole duke it out in the final.
Looking forward to winning this giveaway! Hahaha!
Andy Roddick’s victory over Juan Carlos Ferrero in 2003. It’s the first US Open final I really remember and it’s because Andy won it. I’m a big fan of Roger but Andy has also been a favorite and was so happy he won that day. I was just enamored by his serves back in the day; I mean his second serves were just as quick and deadly as his first. I wish I had a serve like that…
