And on the last day of the year, i'll share with you all what i thought where the best points/shots of 2010. I know many will disagree, there are so many great shots that we saw throughout the year that is impossible to agree on the best 5, but here go the ones i most vividly remember from this great season. Please feel free to share yours in the comment section. Thanks and Enjoy!
Number 5: Gael Monfils vs Andy Roddick at 2010 Japan Open. Monfils is quite the showman, he produces so many breathtaking shots during the lapse of one match that it is hard to choose one from a full calendar year. I went with this one because it made me jump out the seat when i saw it live.
Number 4: Roger Federer Tweener vs Brian Dabul at US Open 2010. The swiss maestro could not be missing from this list. It may not have been the greatest point ever, but what a way to finish it. The precision and accuracy it takes to pull this off is something only a great player like Fed could accomplish.
Number 3: Nadal vs Ferrer at Rome 2010 Final. Ferru has the tragic honor of being the victim of 2 great points. In this one, both him and Rafa show their incredible speed, agility and craftiness. Points like this is why we live, eat and breathe tennis.
Number 2: Verdasco Match Point winner vs Ferrer at US Open 2010. I could not leave this one out, i remember Nadal was playing at the same time, and they kept showing updates of the Verdasco match. I finally tuned in online to the stream and watched an epic 5th set. It all culminated with this terrific shot by Fernando.
Number 1: Superb rally between Nadal and Verdasco. The number one player in the planet at the moment actually loses this point, but boy does the reaction of Fernando at the end tell you just how hard you have to work to win a single point from his fellow Spaniard. Out of this world point from these two.
Honorable Mention:
* Murray around the post shot against Cilic.
* Novak's two match saving points against Fed in US Open semis.
* Iztomin's amazing point against Rafa.

I like them all except Monfils. To be honest, to me he is a cartoon character who plays some tennis sometimes. I don't know how his coach stays on. All the other ones are just classic, wonderful tennis. Thanks!
I like them all, really great shots. My top includes also Hanescu's shot against Llodra from US Open.
Yea peggy, monfils is a hard guy to figure out, he has so much talent but at times he just looks flat on the court. Must drive the coach crazy like you said, but can't deny his athleticism allows him to pull out unreal shots.
Iona, i left it out, but i know which one you are talking about, Victor made a great fake smash and then ended up softly dropping it all in one motion. Great shot that was
