Goran Ivanisevic

The only man in the Open Era to win Wimbledon as a wildcard, Croat Goran Ivanisevic used his serve as a formidable weapon to wear down his opponents. Ivanisevic was ranked a lowly 125 at the start of Wimbledon 2001 and his win propelled him to 16th in the rankings.

His ace count of 213 that year at Wimbledon is the highest that any champion has amassed till date. His 1992 Barcelona Olympics Bronze medal victory run saw him win 4 consecutive 5-set matches - another Open Era record.

The big-serving Croat served 10,131 aces in his career.

#3 Roger Federer

Roger Federer

Although not as quick as the other players on the list, Roger Federer uses his service game effectively to his advantage using the wide serve and the T-serve equally to his liking. The Federer serve is, in fact, one of the most under-rated in the game.

Federer's toss is straight and off to the right at around the 2'o clock position. He turns his shoulder in such a way that his opponent is now looking at his back making it difficult to comprehend the direction of serve.

Federer compensates lack of high speed in his serve with smoothness, elegance and fluidity. His serve has definitely been a key contributor to his remarkable success for over 15 years. The Swiss ace has served 10,728 aces till date.
