Possibly with the exception of the 1966 World Cup Final?
Only thing against it was it wasn't that close in the end though.
Great viewing though.
In terms of Wimbledon finals that have been won in straight sets, it is by far and away the best though, with ever set closely contested and Djokovic never entirely out of it at any stage.
Gold Saturday during the Olympics was pretty special and definitely up there.
Virginia Wade winning the Ladies Singles Final in 1977 in Silver Jubilee year was a big deal too.
Only thing against it was it wasn't that close in the end though.
Great viewing though.
The 2012 Gentlemen's singles final was better.
This^^^^^^^
Don't get me wrong, i think Murray's performance was outstanding and the standard of tennis was top drawer, but he won 3 - 0. There was no drama! At no point did i thing he was going to lose.
Djokovic v Del Potro, now that was what great sport is all about.
April 11th 1993 gets my vote
