Although it's against Rochus,Christophe Gimelstob did it at USO 2000 :

Just found that Ivanisevic did hit at Wimbledon 2000 :

Philippoussis too at Wimbledon 2000 :

Statistical discrepancy between atptennis.com and official GS sites is irritaiting

official website vs. atptennis.com

Philippoussis def. Schalken
44 - 30 aces vs. 38 - 26

Gimelstob def. Rochus
34 - 2 vs. 35 - 2 (I've added that match)

Clement def. Ivanisevic
16 - 30 vs. 18 - 29

Philippoussis def. Melzer
30 - 19 vs. 26 - 16

Unfortunately it's impossible to treat my stats absolutely serious. It isn't objective truth, it's just something what is close to elusive truth

^^

Well statistics we have on the atp site are taking directly from the umpires. Some umpires (Layhani for instance) count aces when the ball hit the frame of the raqcuet.(Karlovic hit 12 aces against Maximo Gonzalez, not 15).
Statistics we saw on the IBM sites are from IBM "employee" although the stats on the atp website are still from the umpire scorecard.
So taking the lower amount of aces between the two could be a smart idea although i know instance where it's wrong, Karlovic was credited 28 aces against Agassi by the umpire, the correct number is 30 (I have the DVD), umpire surely more focused with announcing the score may have forgotten a couple of aces.

I hope it's clarifying the situation. Tennis isn't baseball they don't care much about statistics.

Thanks for claryfing According to what you've written the stats from official websites is more credible than from atptennis.com.

The best solution is when you count aces by oneself

Fat and Ferrero? I don't know but certainly none of them has served 30 aces, maybe they've never passed 20 aces in a match. Sorry but I'm too tired to check it now

[mashamaniac]

Thanks again! obviously fat dave can't even cross 20 aces in a 5-setter match but i was just being curious a bit there...

[mashamaniac]

Sorry again but everytime you had time to check these out plz let me know what's the record for these players:

-Guccione
