Patrick Mouratoglou’s Instagram rankings always stir up controversy. After compiling a list of the greatest forehands ever, the former coach of Serena Williams and Simona Halep has now revealed his top five serves of all time. Surprisingly, Roger Federer did not make the cut.
In first place, Mouratoglou awarded the honor to John Isner’s serve. The former American tennis player’s impeccable technique, combined with his towering height, produced lightning-fast serves that were nearly impossible to return. The serve also had a significant bounce, further unsettling opponents.
Taking the second spot is Nick Kyrgios. The Australian player’s serve stands out for its exceptional precision and power. His second serve is equally impressive.
Ivo Karlovic claims the third position. The Croatian giant’s ability to hit angles with remarkable precision, along with his strong volleying skills, earns him a spot among the best hitters in tennis history.
Pete Sampras secures the fourth place. Despite not being particularly tall, the 14-time Slam champion possesses one of the greatest serves in tennis history. His accuracy and ball-throwing ability are truly remarkable.
And finally, in fifth place, we have Goran Ivanisevic. The current coach of Novak Djokovic is remembered for his incredibly challenging left-handed serve. This shot helped him win Wimbledon in 2001, thanks to numerous aces.
These rankings are sure to spark debates among tennis fans, but Mouratoglou stands by his choices.
