What is the best men's tennis rivalry of all time?
Good question. Sampras/Agassi is my pick. I would imagine a good bit of people here will vote Becker/Edberg. The Federer/Nadal rivalary just doesn't have the long enough points in my opinion. The score is more often more exciting than the rallies!
I'm only 17 so I haven't seen enough of Mcenroe, Borg and Connors but I would probably choose Agassi and Sampras. Nadal is one of my favorites and his matches with Federer always live up to expectations but they are similar players. Agassi and Sampras was always interesting because you had Sampras with probably the best serve in the world at the time and Agassi, with the best return ever. Sampras was excellent at approaching the net and volleying while Agassi had a great passing shot. In a way it was like two polar opposites and that was what made it great to watch. Nadal-Federer is also great to watch, but mainly because they are two relatively similar players with slightly different styles trying to assert which style works better
