Nadal vs Federer

Wimbledon Final 2008 · 6-4 6-4 6-7 6-7 9-7

Nadal vs Federer at Wimbledon 2008 is simply the greatest tennis match ever played, and I don't think it's particularly close. Five sets, fading light, two legends at their absolute peak. Nadal finally breaking Federer's grass court dominance was a sporting watershed moment.

Chicago Cubs vs Cleveland Indians - Game 7

MLB World Series 2016 · 8-7 (10 innings)

The Cubs ending a 108-year curse in extra innings of Game 7 is the greatest baseball story ever told. Rajai Davis's tying homer in the 8th nearly broke my heart, but Bryant's throw to Rizzo to end it all was pure poetry. I cried. No shame.

Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

Formula 1 World Championship 2021 · Verstappen 1st, Hamilton 2nd

Abu Dhabi 2021 will haunt me forever depending on which side you're on. The final lap of the final race of the season, Hamilton cruising to a record eighth title, then the safety car restart changed everything. Controversial but undeniably electric racing.

Monaco Grand Prix

Monaco is prestigious but the racing is a bit of a procession. Qualifying was the real event here.
