2008 Wimbledon final: d. Roger Federer, 6-4, 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-7 (8), 9-7
I know it’s cliché, but this isn’t just my favorite Rafa match, it’s actually still my favorite tennis match of all time. I have never been so captivated by every twist and turn of a match in the way I was by this one. The breathtaking shotmaking, the dramatic momentum shifts, the rapidly descending gloom, the iconic ending: it truly encapsulated everything that I love not just about Rafa, but about the sport of tennis itself.
