Quite clearly Hurkacz?
The Hurk on serve is a beast.
Can't wait to see the new kid GMP in Paris. Hope he makes a run.
Quite clearly Hurkacz?
Servebot category is dying.
Hurkacz is borderline servebot but Perricard is total.
Creating a thread to bring a criteria for Servebots
Servebot A player with Aces % > BRK % Usually a player breaks around 20/30 % on avg. But the servebots can go from anywhere under 10 to 20 % of time breaking serves. They barely break serves but can coast through on the basis of serving. By this list. Isner Ace % 21.25 BRK % 10.08 Kyrgios Ace %...tt.tennis-warehouse.com
Honestly people choosing Hurkacz were ONLY doing so because last 2/3 years the BOTS were almost gone.
Perricard has completely brought BOT category back now. He might go on to have best serve of all time. Dude is scary. If not all time, definitely for next decade.
even when you twist the question this is still not correct as Sinner leads in this category lolAlcaraz probably has the best "service game"

Is he even top 10 server today? Borderline if he even gets to top 10.Shelton mate' 100% hes a beast.
I lost interest when he compared him to Sampras. The kid has not even won anything of substance. The Sampras serve was the best against the contemporary greats. Infact I still remember many times when Fed would serve and Rafa would lean the wrong way. Right now, nobody knows him, but once people start watching some tapes of GMP that is when his serving needs to be talked about whether it still holds.
Was going to write something about GMP but Gill Gross has handled most of that and more. I just want to point out that if your upper speed boundary is higher your floor almost automatically lifts to some degree in most physical and mental activities. During Alpine ski race you will hear commentators state that this elite competitor has 'invested into the line' or 'has taken out something' while still going at unimaginable speeds for us mere mortals.
GMP out-speeds pretty much every other guy by such an amount that taking something off his serve still allows him to send absolute bombs as second serves.

Simply put.
Stop putting players on pedestal so you won't lose interest when they are knocked down
Alcaraz probably has the best "service game" because Djokovic couldn't break him at the Olympics.
You know that's not the question he's asking, so why give that answer? It seems kind of churlish. "Best serve" is a tennis question that's been around forever. Who cares whether the player with the supposed best serve can win slams or not? We already have thousands of slam threads. Alcaraz doesn't have to be a contender in every discussion.
Problem is the return. No serve will make up for a return game won stat on 10%, at least if you intend to win Masters and above.GMP doesn’t need one. I think two things are true at the same time:
1) His serve has right now an output we have never seen before
2) We see how it goes in the long run after some adjustments by other players, as I also have written before.
