Best Grand Slam Matches of 2019

2019 Grand Slam Season review:

The Nitto ATP finals between Theim and Djokovic were a historical match for both. Theim was about to win against a legendary player while Djokovic was playing for his 6th win in a row.
The match between Theim and Federer was no less. Theim had continuously lost 4 consecutive matches out of seven but had defeated the 5 time Champion Roger Federer.
The match between Nick Kyrgois and Stefano Tsitspas was a treat for the eyes and a very special match that was the highlight of the year.
