Top Ten (current) Servers?

Who would you guys consider the top ten servers in the game right now, and how do you rank them? I'm pretty sure most people will agree that the top three choices on my list would be in their top three as well (possibly in a different order). But I'm more curious about the bottom seven.

Here's my list:

1. John Isner
2. Ivo Karlovic
3. Milos Raonic
4. Kevin Anderson
5. Tomas Berdych
6. Sam Querry
7. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga
8. Roger Federer
9. Juan Martin Del Potro
10. Gilles Mueller


Some other names I typically see for consideration (Samuel Groth, Nicholas Almagro, Gael Monfils, Jerzy Janowitz, Ernests Gulbis, Mardy Fish, Ryan Harrison, Stanislas Wawrenka, Alexandr Dolgopolov, Jack Sock, & Fernando Verdasco)

Currently, I will put RFederer above JWTsonga. Otherwise your list looks good to me.

Top 3 are clearly John, Milos, Ivo level ahead of anyone else. Best serve has probably John thaks to his high FS% + his 2nd serve is great, Milos - Ivo it´s close , 1-2years ago i would say Milos is better server, but right now don´t know, Milos became predictlable + his FS% is sometimes not so high and Ivo now last year or so is pretty good again.


Behind those 3 guys i think it depends what people prefer, for me SERVE - as pure shot means ace-unreturnable serve - higher FS% and so on

so that means guys like Groth-Olivetti should be top 5 both have huge serve pure - as stroke - it´s their problem they can´t do nothing in rally - give Olivetti Andeerson´s movement and he would be amazing player or Groth height is like Monfils - give his serve to Monfils for example top 5 player.

Than other big servers like Querrey, Anderson, Muller, Lopez

Tsonga - declined in last 2 years,

i my top 5

John, Milos, Ivo, Groth, Olivetti

and after that it depends what people prefer but guys like Anderson, Querrey are top 10 anyway

1. John Isner
2. Ivo Karlovic
3. Milos Raonic
4. Kevin Anderson
5. Tomas Berdych
6. Stanislas Wawrinka
7. Roger Federer
8. Juan Martin Del Potro
9. Alex Dolgopolov
10. Sam Querrey

*Jerzy Janowicz failed to make it to my top 10 list because he DFs way too much for a good server.
