Superstar coach Patrick Mouratoglou has fired up the ‘Top Serve‘ debate. He shared the list of players which in his opinion have had the best serve in sports history. This list includes Nick Kyrgios, John Isner, Andy Roddick, Ivo Karlovic and Pete Sampras.
Putting Nick Kyrgios ahead of record ace hitters like John Isner and Pete Sampras, Mr. Mouratoglou believes the Australian has the best serve in the current generation and also in the history of the sport. He also thinks the way modern players got better at returning the ball, may be the reason for the Australian being neglected.
“Kyrgios is number one because players return much better today and he’s undoubtedly the current best,” he had said praising the Australian player.
Eminent sports journalist Luigi Gatto shared this story on social media.
The British player Liam Broady also shared his views on this evolving story. He wants to include Roger Federer on the list. Also, he believes Novak Djokovic also has a brilliant serve, which may not be rated highly by critics.
“Federer has to be on this list. Has to be. Most beautifully underrated serve. Djokovic most underrated server of all time though,” his caption read.
Former World No.7 Mardy Fish does not agree with the Briton and gave his own list of the players who he thinks had the best serve.
The debate over which male player had the best serve in the history of the sport continues.
