Arthur Ashe hit 28 aces against Okker in the 1968 US Open final actually, including 16 in the first set, as I previously mentioned.

Edit: forgot to mention this one:
46 - Ham Richardson (Forest Hills) 5 sets, defeated Ed Kauder (Kauder 59 ace performance has been mentioned here:
http://www.menstennisforums.com/show...&postcount=206)
+ 32 DF for Richardson which seems to be a record - 25 for Kauder.
Which means 105 aces in the same match.
