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  Sela must be fighting sooo well out there  |

Re: The highest 1st serve percentage you've seen?
i noticed that and funny thing is that 2nd serve percentage is 63% meaning that he'd better hit only 1st serves

Re: The highest 1st serve percentage you've seen?
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

Re: The highest 1st serve percentage you've seen?
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.

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. |

Re: The highest 1st serve percentage you've seen?
Volandri always has a good first serve percentage. Not to compensate for anything of course
