The All Time Greatest Servers is an in-depth analysis of the top 50 tennis servers from the early 20th century to the present day. Featuring a lot of newly discovered serving data for players before 1991, this book chronicles the serving performances of great servers of the past such as Pancho Gonzales and Ellsworth Vines as well as modern greats such as Roger Federer and Pete Sampras. There is also a chapter listing the top serve-volleyers featuring players such as John Newcombe, John McEnroe and Jack Kramer. In addition to lots of information on the servers, including quotes from players that played against them, there is also an appendix listing matches before 1991 that contain the newly discovered serving data (number of aces and aces per game are listed and for many players service games won also). The subject has never before been covered in such detail. Featured in The Tennis Historian magazine in 2025. This is the author's second book. The author's first book, The Professional Tennis Archive, was first published in 2019.
