Thanks Drew, interesting reading. I'm surprised Andy is still so far down in the serve stats, his serve definitely improved a lot over the break, I guess that will be reflected as more matches are played but still!

Super news on the return game though

johnnylad · Tennis legend

the best returner of first serves on the tour is a pretty good stat!

Match Facts at October 22nd 2007

Not updated for a while due to Andy being out for 3 months during the summer.

Serving

Aces :

01 - Karlovic 1194 in 58

33 - Murray 291 in 46 (On averages Andy is better than 5th ranked Djokovic)

Second Serve Points Won :

01 - Federer 58% in 63

34 - Murray 52% in 46

First Serve Percentage :

01 - L Horna 73% in 11

62 - Murray 55% in 46

Service Games Won :

01 - Karlovic 95% in 58

42 - Murray 79% in 46

First Serve Points Won :

01 - Karlovic 84% in 48

30 - Murray 73% in 46

Break Points saved :

01 - Ivo Karlovic 75% in 58

59 - Murray 57% in 46

Verdict : being out for so long has impacted on Andy's serving stats...all down from the start of the year. The ace stat is a bit mis-leading as his average per match is better than Djokovic in 5th. Most of the top servers are 10+ per match. Karlovic is the No 1 server by a mile in the ATP.

Return Game

Points won returning First serve :

01 - R Nadal 35% in 76

6 (+5) - Andy Murray 34% in 46

Break Points Converted :

01 - D Ferrer 48% in 73

50 - Murray 39% in 46

Points won returning Second serve :

01 - D Ferrer 57% in 73

4 (+7) - Murray 55% in 46

Return Games Won :

01 - Ferrer 37% in 73

03 (+4) - Murray 33% in 46

Verdict : Great Stats...up in 3 out of the 4 categories....Top 5 status here...just needs to take some more break points and he would be Top 3 status.
