[QUOTE="rammsteinfanl1, post: 2773443, member: 510931"] Very tough because there are so many. His first Major triumph at Wimbledon 2003 is an obvious pick. He was so young and had been viewed by so many as a guy loaded with talent but who was unable to break through at the Slams so winning must have been so rewarding. The 2009 Australian Open final was another memorable moment because it showed a flawed and very human side to a guy who was regarded as almost a robotic tennis champion who seemed to win at will. For me, it would have to be his win at Wimbledon 2009. He went in as the heavy favorite against a player, in Roddick, who he had a great record against. However, because of the gravity of his chance to break Sampras' Major record and the legends in attendance, it ended up being a much tougher win than most people expected. It was a reminder of just how phenomenal he was, even under huge pressure. That said, he has given us so many signature moments that picking just one is almost impossible. [/QUOTE]
