First of all, I would like to say that I am writing this article now, rather than in late 2009 and early 2010 because it has just dawned on me of the terrible matches lately in the later rounds of Grand Slams.  There can be early-round thrillers, but it is rare to have a late-tourney thriller.  Even though I have an order of the matches, these matches were such epics I could barely choose between them.


1. 2005 Wimbledon Final Venus Williams-Lindsay Davenport

4-6 7-6(4) 9-7.  Four records were set in that score line: Longest Wimbledon final (time), longest Wimbledon third set (games), first person to rally from match point down in about 70 years (Venus), lowest seeded player to win Wimbledon (14th, Venus, broken in 2007).  It was called the titanic battle.  The crowd was crazy over this match, which is considered the best women's match of all time.
