The highest 1st serve percentage you've seen?

I don't what is the record, but after 4 hours and 15 minutes and 4 sets played (5th set to come), Gonzalez has 90% first serves in:eek: Sela must be fighting sooo well out there:D

Nieminen 96%
Volandri 92%
Sanguinetti 91%

i noticed that and funny thing is that 2nd serve percentage is 63% meaning that he'd better hit only 1st serves

Nieminen 96%
Volandri 92%
Sanguinetti 91%

Yah, but was it in 5 sets:p?

Wimbledon 2004, R128

Federer vs. Alex Bogdanovic (GBR):

1st serve %: 98%

6-3 6-3 6-0

0 aces, 0 double faults. probably not serving hard, but very impressive nonetheless. eve though it wasn't a 5 setter

What was Rafa's first serve percentage in Hamburg? Similiar, wasn't it?

Who else served close to 90% and still lost the match (All Dudi got to do is hold)

Dudi is playing wonderfully, especially at the end - And Gonzo is tired.

This is incorrect.

This is incorrect.

well, that's what it said on the atp website. that's my best source of knowledge, given I wasn't there myself recording numbers.

pim pim.

i think he played blake somwhere and didn't miss a serve in one set. :scared:

He ended the match with 88%, and still lost:eek: 5 hours and 1 minute:yeah:

Well that is what I looked at too and it also says Bogdanovic served at 97 %. Seriously what are the chances of seeing a match with a 98% and 97% 1st serves.

I know, it's shocking. You're right that maybe they screwed it up. For exmaple some older Wimbledon matches are said to have taken 2 minutes according to their stats.

Volandri always has a good first serve percentage. Not to compensate for anything of course :o

113%

I duno, honestly don't know what to believe nowadays with the scoreboards and statistics boards screwing up.

If the Gonzo - Sela stats are correct, the reason was probably Gonzo's shoulder hurting or maybe his head. I have seen Gonzo push in his first serves before and it's not a pretty sight.

Giving Sela extra credit for winning under the circumstances is most likely wrong.
