Before we talk about the Top 5 Matches I want to say thank you to these 3 Tennis players for taking this sport to heights that it hasn’t seen before. Hopefully you all can entertain us for a few more years. These 3 have a total of 63 Grand Slam titles between them and in the last 16-17 years they have won almost all the Slams. So, let’s see the Top 5 Best Matches.


2014 Wimbledon Final


This is the first match on my list and this is a match that tested both players to the absolute limit and here Novak Djokovic showed that he is not a quitter and that he will fight till the last minute. Novak Djokovic lost the first set in a tie break 6-7 but he bounced back in style winning the next 2 sets by 6-4 and 7-6 in a tie break as well. However, Roger Federer had come to win that day and he won the 4th set 7-5 but in the 5tb and deciding set Novak Djokovic was the better player and he won it 6-4 to win the match which lasted more than 4 hours and 30 minutes.

2007 US Open Final


This match was only 3 sets but they were 3 of the most amazing sets of tennis and that is why this match is on this list because you would find it hard to find a match that had so many ups and downs in just 3 sets. Roger Federer came into this match as the favorite but Novak Djokovic had come to prove himself again and both of them did not give an inch and the first 2 sets went to a tie break where both times it was Roger Federer who won those tie breaks where it could have easily been Novak Djokovic. Then in the third set Roger had to work hard and finally he beat Novak Djokovic 6-4 in the 3rd to win the title but it was a match for the ages.

2019 Wimbledon Final


This in my mind is the best match between the 2 and this match showed how tough Novak Djokovic really is mentally. The fans were cheering loudly for Roger but Novak went about his game and it was a 5 hour plus 5 set thriller at Centre Court. Novak Djokovic won the 1st set in a tie break by 7-6 but in the next set Roger won it 6-1 but then again Novak came back like he always does and won the 3rd set again in a tie break by 7-6 and it was 2-1. Roger Federer won the 4th set 6-4 and it all came down to the last set and it was a marathon where neither gave an inch. Roger Federer had 2 title points but Novak Djokovic saved both of them and in the end it was Novak Djokovic who won the 5tb set 13-12.

2011 French Open Semi Final


This was the best match that the pair had at the French Open and it was also one of their best Matches ever and in this match Roger Federer was on a mission to prove himself that he can win at the French Open. He won the first set by 7-6 and the second set 6-3 but as always Novak Djokovic came back to win the third set by 6-3 but in the next 4th set Roger Federer showed his dominance and won it by 7-6 in a tie break. It was an incredible match.

2015 Wimbledon Final


This is the 3rd Wimbledon Final that is being featured on this list between the 2. It was held in 2015 and in my opinion this is also one of the best matches between the 2 and it was a 4 set thriller. In the first set Novak Djokovic won it by 7-6 in a tie break but Roger Federer returned the favor in the second set by winning it in a tie break himself by 7-6. From there on Novak Djokovic went into a different gear and there was no stopping him but Roger tried his best but Novak won the next 2 sets by 6-4 and 6-3 to win the match and the 2015 Wimbledon title.
