1) ALWAYS a great match, even if you don't like tennis they are a real treat to watch.

2) I don't get the rivalry talk between these two. Aside from being rivals for best player in the NBA there isn't really much head to head play here.

3) Generally pretty fun to watch even if you don't like hockey that much. Only thing that keeps them below Nadal/Federer in my book is the fact that hockey is a team sport. The one on one match ups always are better in my opinion.

4) Don't really match up enough, even though it is generally pretty good when they do.

My vote goes to Nadal/Federer.

2. Kobe vs Lebron

There's no rivalry here. They play twice a year and it isn't that heated. I"m not sure Kobe even guards bron the whole game.

As a tennis player I probably appreciate the Fed/Rafa rivalry a little more than most. They know just how to exploit each other's weaknesses, but when they play each other those weaknesses turn into power shots. fascinating stuff

I could see a rivalry between two players in basketball, but Kobe and Lebron are not rivals.

Ovechkin and Malkin have had more of a rilvary than Ovechkin-Crosby but oh well.
