Yes, that was the best match I've seen at the AO this year, and an absolutely fabulous match, period.
I didn't get to see a lot of the women's matches this year because the ones I really wanted to see were played at night (I stayed up just one time--to see Safina vs. Dokic--and I'm staying up tonight, too), or they were pre-empted in the U.S. by men's matches. So I don't have that many from which to choose. I hear that the Dokic vs. Kleybanova match was very messy, but exciting. The best match I saw, quality-wise, was probably Serena vs. Dulko
However, next to the Hot Sauce-Nadal match, the very best match I saw was that barn-burner between Hantuchova/Sugiyama and Black/Huber. Incredible.
