1st Serve %: 67.5
1st Serve Points Won: 78.7
Hold %: 93.1
The 6’10” American is the second tallest player on tour. He uses his serve as well as anyone. Isner is content to hold serve, not waste too much energy in his return game, and try to best his opponents in a tie breaker. His strategy is often effective. While Isner sits at number three on this list, his second serve is the best in the game. He often shoots aces even on his second delivery. His hold percentage of 93.1 was best on the tour in 2014.
