As I said, I am only ranking finals that I had a chance to watch.  I did not see the 1980 final.  I am sure it would rank highly if I had seen it.

4.  2007 Roger Federer d. Rafael Nadal 7-6, 4-6, 7-6, 2-6, 6-2

In 2006, Rafa and Roger traded 4 set wins at the French Open and Wimbledon.  In 2007, Federer again lost to Nadal in 4 sets at the French Open.  This Wimbledon match represented the first time Rafa drew blood from Roger on grass despite Federer winning.  Roger’s serve was excellent, and it had to be.  Roger also blunted several break points early in the fifth set and regrouped to break Rafa twice and win his 5th consecutive Wimbledon title.  The quality of this match made the anticipation of their 2008 tilt that much greater.

3.  1982 Jimmy Connors d. John McEnroe 3-6, 6-3, 6-7…
