Who has most 2nd serve aces?

heavy300 · 05-21-2009, 07:38 PM

Sampras, Roddick, Karlovic or somebody else?

I would think it has to be Sampras, but couldn't find out for sure on a google search.

IvanAndreevich · 05-21-2009, 08:04 PM

I bet it was Goran Ivanisevic. But he had a lot of DF's too.

I bet Fed is up there on the list, he gets a LOT of 2nd serve aces, especially slice down the T on the ad side.

big servers usually have a high rate of 2nd serve ace. I would say Sampras, Goran.

Probably a lefty... for the slice serve out wide on the ad court, or down the t on the deuce court.

Fed's got a lot of 2nd serve aces, too.

Ivanisevic no doubt, but he has a lot of double faults as well. Sampras also has many second serve aces especially on crucial points with less double faults rate.

Scud would have been up there on a match by match basis, basically served two first serves a lot of the time.

Clay lover · 05-22-2009, 06:23 AM

Sampras had the greatest second serve of all time, I'd bet it was him.

Andres · 05-22-2009, 06:35 AM

I must say Ivanisevic.

kopfan · 05-22-2009, 11:38 AM

Goran Ivanisevic!

Lately Fed has been serving some aces on his 2nd serve.

Quite a rare shot though.

I'd go with Sampras. Possibly Ivanisevic, but he went for more on his 2nd serves than Sampras did.
