When 2017 began, Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic sat atop the ATP rankings, while Angelique Kerber, fresh off a career year, led the WTA. None of those players would finish this season in the Top 10, for varying reasons, but that hardly implied a lack of drama on the tours.
At the Australian Open, fan favorites Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal met in the final, setting the tone for a renaissance run of dominance. The Williams sisters also played for the title, with Serena coming out on top. She would miss the remainder of the season to give birth to her first child, allowing the depth of the WTA to shine. Jelena Ostapenko and Sloane Stephens would go on to claim their maiden Grand Slam titles, while Roger and Rafa added to their historic totals. In so many ways, it was a memorable year—and that was just at the majors.
Now that the 2017 season has come to a close, it's time to decide what was its best match. We want to know your pick, so vote for your favorite match in our poll below.
