almost everyone except nadal can bomb the serve at 130 mph.

nadal compensates with his lefty spin that few opponents can solve

2. Federer

Murray will be a lot higher, if he improves his second serve which is a big weakness now.
 
1. Roddick
2. Tsonga
3. Federer
4. Del Potro
5. Soderling
6. Djokovic
7. Murray
8. Nadal
9. Davydenko
10. Verdasco

I consider Federer/Tsonga, Murray/Djokovic and Nadal/Davydenko all to be very close calls. Verdasco is a strange case, since his serve has actually been excellent- perhaps of a quality that would put him in the top five on this list- on very rare occasions such as last year's Australian Open, but in terms of its overall match-by-match quality, it is a major weak point for him.
