Can you end it with all this incessant "tard" shite?

2001 and 2007 were the best for me, although 2008 fairly close.

fair enough Han, but I think his point is that many guys voted just for the sake of voting (especially younger Fed/Rafa fans, without really saying why/elaborating ... some of them probably haven't even seen the 2001 W final). I'm not his devil's advocate but that's just my impression

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if at least half of the current members on this site haven't even watched the 2001 final.

Constantly harping on about "tards" is...for want of a better word, retarded. The fact that some people might have voted and not explained why does not really excuse this. I mean, who gives a shit about poll results on this or any other forum/media where the public get to vote anyway?

Enough of that.

2001 - drama, great story, great tennis, Ivanisevic comeback, Rafter so likeable, great crowd as others have said.

2007 - the two greats of the decade playing close to their best tennis (Nadal almost doing it on grass, Federer just a notch down from his very best), the match genuinely up for grabs.

2008 - quality not as high as 2007 perhaps overall, and I certainly felt during the match there was only one winner, so not quite as exciting.
