These days, Roger Federer and Lleyton Hewitt are best known for playing their rallies out on speed boats (just kidding, sort of), but back in the day they actually played some mean tennis!

Well, is this lung-buster the best rally in BNP Paribas Open history? We haven't seen them all, so if you find one that you think is better, please send it our way. Oh, and we dare you to…

"It was one of my best in my life," Federer said after the final, which marked his 17th career title and 42nd win in his last 43 matches at that point. "During a final against Lleyton, that was fantastic, and that it didn't finish in an error. We were both tired after that rally."

After the point, both players were showered with a standing ovation from the crowd. Federer and Hewitt were impressed, saying it was a strange occurrence for single point in the middle of a game. "Maybe after you win a Davis Cup final or something, in five sets," Hewitt, who went on to save the break point and take the game, said. "But not normally after a point, especially when neither of you is from America."

Federer would cruise through the 2005 BNP Paribas Open draw without the loss of a set, and eventually take down two-time champion and then world No. 2 Hewitt, 6-2, 6-2, 6-4, for his second of three consecutive titles at Indian Wells.

It was all part of a dazzling 18-match run for Federer that saw him notch three straight titles in the desert before falling to Guillermo Canas in his first match in 2007.
