9. Roger Federer

When it comes to returning, Roger has the whole package.

Return Point Won %: 39.8

Aced %: 6.8

Break %: 26.1

In his prime, Federer would have been higher on this list, but even as he ages, his return is near tops in tennis. When it comes to returning, Roger has the whole package. If you let up on your serve, he can easily hit the monster return winner. If you go for a big one, he will block it back deep. Over the years, Federer has even employed the old school chip and charge to force a big server to come up with a big passing shot, two things that rarely go together. The best of all time deserves to be on any Top 10 lists and his return warrants inclusion here.
