Is there a stat for BPs saved with an ACE?

[Ipsen]

I've always thought the best serve is not just the one with the best % of aces, but the one that shows up when it matters most.

I've tried to look up this stat for Sampras, but would be nice if there were anything similar for former/current ATP players.

I would appreciate any help I can find...

Thanks!!!

OP, I don't think any site has kept track of this. It would take a lot of time and research to get the stats for all active top players.

If anyone has them, please do share it here.

I am interested in break points saved with a drop shot.

Wow, Medvedev had good stat even before 2019. I think it's much higher now.

I was sure that Isner was the leader in this department.
Players facing him should already know that 1 of 3 BPs they may produce against him will be saved with an ace, to better manage their frustration.

Its badass that Nadal is only at 5% but saves so many BPs like a boss

That’s because his serve stinks.

 

[MichaelNadal]

That’s because his serve stinks.

It just makes it more epic though lol. The amount of BPs he saves on second serve especially is crazy

Yes, he is very tenacious, a word I read in Philippe Chatrier stadium.

Incredible stats, thanks a lot. Would it be possible to find something like this for former players? I'm really interested in data from the 80s-90s...

Still, I really appreciate that you came up with this. Thought it would be impossible to find anything of the sort. I owe you big time.

I reckon Sampras and Ivanisevic would be leading those numbers, the way they bailed out from 0-40 or 15-40 with aces would be definetly higher than Nadal's or Novak's for sure, possibly higher than Federer's as well, it should be in the servebot range but they were not servebots though.

I too am searching for these kind of stats, never found them, will post if I find.
