Joker/Ass Picker Best Point by Point tennis rivalry ever??

[sluggy1616]

These guys are sick. You might not even see these kind of points at all in some matches between some of the big rivalries of the past

Sampras/aggasi- no
lendel/edberg/wilander - no
fed vs either joker or ass picker-no
martini/chrissy - maybe
conners/mcenroe-hell no

Any one agree or have other rivalries that produced anywhere near this quality of tennis??

McEnroe-Borg was a good one from all that I have read. I've watched a couple of their big matches on ESPN Classic and the Interwebs. They had some great Grand Slam meetings.

Nadal-Djokovic really has only become a great one in the last three-four years since Nadal became a better all-court player and they started meeting at a lot more Slams.

Ah forgot about some Wimblies with those 2. Good times watching those as a kid.

Pretty fortunate to have two guys playing side by side in their prime. I think that's why Nadal-Federer is a couple notches below since there was an age gap. We need to enjoy the next year or two because we're about to see a major shift on the men's side. It's probably going to shift back to more of a free for all soon ... which will make futures plays at Slams very interesting.
