Ace alert 2026: Meet the five unstoppable servers on the ATP Tour so far

Jannik Sinner put on a serving clinic in the 2026 Miami Open final, firing past Jiri Lehecka.

Sinner wrapped up his seventh Masters title and the Sunshine Double with a 6-4, 6-4 win over Lehecka.

The Italian didn’t drop serve all match, winning an incredible 92% of points behind his first serve.

Even though he’s one of the top servers on tour, the 24-year-old hasn’t cracked the top five for aces so far this season.

Aleksandar Kovacevic sits fifth on the 2026 ATP ace leaders

So far in 2026, American Aleksandar Kovacevic has the fifth-most aces on the ATP Tour, tallying up a total of 239.

Kovacevic, who is ranked No.58 in the world, has featured in 17 matches this year. His standout showing was a semifinal run at the Brisbane International.

In terms of serve rating over the past year, he is currently placed 29th on the tour.

Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard Sits in Fourth

Just ahead of him is Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, who has tallied 249 aces over 14 matches this year.

The Frenchman, second on tour in average aces per match, has appeared in nine ATP events so far in 2026.

His best showings have been quarterfinal runs in both Brisbane and Auckland.

Jakub Mensik’s serving power puts him third in ace count for 2026

Last year’s Miami Open champion Jakub Mensik has racked up the third-highest ace total on the ATP Tour this season.

The Czech player has fired down 263 aces over 21 matches, and his powerful serve has already helped him secure a title early in the campaign.

Mensik won the ASB Classic in Auckland, defeating Sebastian Baez in the final to claim his second tour-level title.

Reilly Opelka, the power of the second place

Reilly Opelka, who has long been known for his powerful serve, leads the ATP Tour in aces per match in 2026.

Despite only playing 11 matches so far this season across five tournaments, the American has already racked up 264 aces.

Opelka hasn’t advanced beyond the round of 16 at any event this year.

Taylor Fritz, the king of aces

Taylor Fritz is comfortably ahead in the ace race so far this season, having racked up 316 already.

He has played 20 matches across six tournaments since the turn of the year, and he reached his first final at the Dallas Open, although he lost to fellow American Ben Shelton.

The eighth-ranked player in the world is one of just three players who have broken the 300-ace mark already this season.
