In the men’s tennis game today, the serve has become more important than ever. In the past, the serve served the purpose of starting the point. After spinning in their opening shot, players would rush the net. The technology in rackets and fitness of today’s players have made it much easier for returners to take advantage of weak serves. In contrast, an elite serve can earn numerous “free points” and give players an upper hand in any match.

10. Lukas Rosol

1st Serve %: 57.7

1st Serve Points Won: 72.4

Hold %: 79.2

Rosol’s claim to fame is his 2012 win over Rafael Nadal on the speedy grass courts of Wimbledon. While he has had trouble duplicating that success, his serve is not the problem. When he lets go of the ball, he arches his back and creates a natural power that has given great returners like Nadal and others plenty of trouble, especially on speedy grass courts.
