As for the Mauresmo-Clijsters match in 2006, the shot-making was spectacular. Both players conjured fabulous winners, many when out of position, running wide or pushed onto the back foot. I had a dig around YouTube but couldn't find anything on the match, but you may have more luck than me! Sly,

I think there's a total of 22 or more deuces.... 10 in 1st set; 5 in 2nd set; 7 in 3rd? Also, i'm really curious on how great were the shots of Amelie & Kim in the 2005 YEC Sfinal...was it all ground strokes rally winners or unconventional winners?

An amazing spectacle, and another fantastic comeback from Justine. Also, quite possibly the beginning of the end for Myskina - I don't think she was ever quite the same player after that. And Kurt, the Williams sisters match at the 2008 US Open was probably the best they've ever played against each other. I have to admit that I struggle to become truly absorbed in all-Williams clashes! I find there's always a slightly strange atmosphere surrounding them, and they never seem to get completely fired up against one another as they do against other opponents. However, that was definitely their most exciting battle. Hope everybody continues to enjoy the list. I am sure there are far more matches that I didn't include that definitely could have been!
