In my opinion, in terms of shot quality, this was one of the best matches of all time. It was at least top 4 or 5 of the decade along with Wimbledon 08 final, Rome 06 final, and Wimbledon 09 final.

Strangely, all of those involved Federer ;-)

@Thutmosis7 ....I was just a bit dissapointed in the guys reaction to 'roddick having a slam over nalbandian'. He works damn hard to be where he is at today, and if nalbandian had even a little of roddicks determination, which still is something that is difficult to teach, he would be consitantly in contention of the slams, but he doesn't, so isnt

@SSky06 Add Safin vs Federer 2005 AO SF and Safin vs Agassi 2004 AO SF. Clean hitting doesn't get much better than that. And yes, this was a match of superb quality, even with Federer losing steam and playing kind of poorly in sets 3, 4, and the beginning of set 5. Nalbandian was fantastic though. He knows Roger's game inside out and vice versa. They've been playing against each other since they were juniors, so I guess one should expect fireworks!!!

damn...I wish Nalby could still play like this. Still a beautiful player to watch but his days are over.

Nalbandian is the only one who can force Federer to play this level. Djokovic and Nadal have beaten Federer a lot of times but Federer never looked that helpless against them as he does vs Nalbandian at some points. Nalbandian is the UNDERACHIEVER of this era. Aside Federer, he is the best indoors player of the last decade even though he is very inconsistent.

Great job from Nalbandian. Federer was really close, boy.

@SSky06

All epic matches but in terms of "shots" there are lots of better matches, in my opinion. For instance Roddick vs Al Aynoui at Australian Open
