There are only a handful of excellent points that were played, as opposed to Wimby 2008 and this match which had 20+ completely ridiculous extended rallies and winners. The 2017 final is only so great because of the extreme hype surrounding it and the significance the victory had for Federer’s career.

A great match. It must have been devastating for Federer to lose 3 consecutive major finals. Not only did Nadal win on Federer's favorite surface, but on a hard-court. That dispelled any lingering illusion that Nadal was a clay-court specialist. At a time when Federer was almost universally acknowledged as the GOAT, Nadal through these 3 wins cast grave doubts about that. In fact, by this point, it became clear that Nadal was the superior player overall, although many experts still stubbornly believed that Federer deserved to be called the GOAT.

It's amazing that 8 years later, Federer won the first set and it was also a 5 setter thrilller.

Fedal final... Best tennis matchup forever.

Greatest first set of all time! Simply wow! Had more highlight reels than entire matches!

One of the highest quality matches ever

Damn! Federer played great tennis here, but he struggle a lot with the BP, and didn't have the mental strength to overcome the disadvantage in the 5th set as he amazingly did in the 2017 final.

The 2009 rally had probably 4-5 different crazy shots in a row (Nadal’s first forehand down the line, Federer’s GOATED forehand slice, Nadal retrieving the forehand slice, Nadal defense, then Nadal blasting a forehand down the line from a compromised position).

Yeah the quality of shots in the 2009 final was definitely higher overall. The 2017 was more about the drama/match situation.

Rafa’s defense and offense are just so unreal in this match. The forehand up the line in critical moments and his ability to save break points. We all know Rafa is fast but his willingness to rip huge groundstrokes in key moments won him this match.

Fed was a genius from the base line but it's not the right strategy against Nadal... This match like many others between them ended up becoming a battle of long rallies and crazy angles from the base line. Nadal is the king of clay, that's totally his game... Fed is an older fast court player, a mix between the serve and volley era and the baseline era. Maybe the slower courts favored this kind of strategy, but against Nadal... really complicated.

Nadal was basically just looping to Federer's backhand the entire match and Federer constantly had to find solutions. Mental strength doesn't just mean saving break points.
