Nick Kyrgios serve rated as best ever on ATP Tour ahead of John Isner and Andy Roddick by Patrick Mouratoglou

Renowned tennis coach Patrick Mouratoglou has rated Nick Kyrgios’ serve as the best he has ever seen on the ATP Tour. Kyrgios has one of the most powerful serves on the ATP Tour and last season fired down 747 aces in just 47 matches. Ad His serve is one of his biggest weapons and was one of the reasons why Kyrgios enjoyed a career-best year in 2022, winning one singles title, the Australian Open doubles title, and reaching his first Grand Slam singles final at Wimbledon.

Coming in behind Kyrgios in Mouratoglou’s top-five servers of all time on the ATP Tour is John Isner. The American led the tour last year with 895 aces in just 40 matches and holds the ATP record for the fastest-ever serve at 253 km/h (157.2 mph). “He played the longest match in tennis history [at Wimbledon in 2010] and he wasn’t broken for eight hours in a row,” said Mouratoglou.

Third on Mouratoglou’s list is Andy Roddick. Roddick, who is the most recent American man to win a Grand Slam with his 2003 US Open victory, had a rocket serve that once hit 155mph.
