Sampras!!
John Yandell said that Sampras averaged 120 mph and 2500 rpm on his first serves. Thats's the best ratio of speed and spin, and that was the reason why Sampras hit so many unreturnable serves. |

This is one place, I'll give credit where it's due to Sampras. He definitely had the best serve, could get himself out of almost any situation with it, and was accurate with it.

 .I would say...from recent years: 1. Sampras (sooooooooo consistently big and difficult to return) 2. Ivanisevic (mr. Ace) 3. Becker 4. Krajicek 5. Stich (as some of you have said ...probably the most elegant ...like his whole game really ...) From the guys currently playing I would say Federer and the 3 Croatians (you know who ...).Rodick is not on my list and will probably never be as his serve will never be as efficient as Federer's even if it would have +50 mph. His serve is BIG ...NOT GOOD. In fact most of his shots are lacking technique (I'm not saying I would beat him ...for all the fanboys out there ...but we are talking about professionals here ...not occasional players). Thanks, me . |

 The ace record is 1477, by Goran. Nowhere near 1600

Pete Sampras, Boris Becker, Stefan Edberg. There is only one man who can serve 2 130 mph aces and 2 consecutive double faults immediately after that- Mr. Goran...

http://www.atptennis.com/3/en/player...I034&x=19&y=12 (i know... i'm crazy !) and i'm arriving at... 1449 ! but several stats are missing : 1. his 3rd round win (76 75 63) over volkov at wimbledon... this one should make it until the 1477 aces. 2. stats are absent for : - his 2 davis cup matches - his (lone) olympic games match (a loss, unfortunately) - his 4 gran slam cup matches so i wouldn't be surprised if the real total of aces is around 1600 ! QED.  |

Don't forget John Sadri's serve. He could bash it.

Pete Sampras gets my vote too. Beautiful textbook action, amazing consistency and accuracy. A true weapon.
