Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic are players considered the masters of aces, with their fine serves and inch-perfect accuracy often leaving the opponent in no position to respond. One would naturally expect them to top the milestone when it comes to registering aces as well. However, the player who instead enjoys an extremely illustrious record with regard to the same, surpassing those four is none other than American John Isner. Isner is only the second player in the history of tennis to have reached the 13,000-ace milestone. Ivo Karlovic was the first player in the game to record the illustrious milestone of 13,000 aces. Isner’s prowess with regard to serves further extends with regard to the speed at which the same is recorded, with the American currently holding the record for registering the fastest “official” serve in ATP at 157.2 mph or 253 km/h. The tennis player further accounted for the third-fastest serve on record in tennis, during the same instance in the first-round 2016 Davis Cup match.

Isner is a master at his craft with 16 singles career titles, showcasing his prowess to the core. One of the most significant performances by the American was recorded in the 2012 edition of the Indian Wells Masters, with the tennis star defeating then world no. 1 Novak Djokovic in three sets to sail into the final. Isner was resilient in his approach against the Serbian, who can be unstoppable on his day. Neither did the American permit any room for Djokovic to make a stellar comeback which he is very well capable of, nor did he allow any breathing space. While Isner was defeated by Roger Federer in the final, the tennis star won hearts with his spirited gameplay and supreme confidence under pressure.
