Top 10 Best Servers in Tennis Today

5. Roger Federer

1st Serve %: 63.9

1st Serve Points Won: 78.6

Hold %: 90.4

Federer does not get the consistent speeds of other players on this list, but his precision is matched by no one. He can place the ball in any spot of the service box and with any sort of spin he requires. Returners are not blown away by his serve as much as befuddled. Federer was one of only four servers in 2014 to have a hold percentage of 90 or above.
