Alexander Zverev tops ATP’s ace leaderboard for the first time in 2024, Sinner and Shelton join top-10
ATP
Alexander Zverev finished the 2024 season as the leader in aces, delivering nearly 800 in his 90 matches throughout the year. The German's serve was key to regaining his career-best ranking as World No. 2, topping a leaderboard that includes players like Hubert Hurkacz, Ben Shelton, and Jannik Sinner.
According to Infosys ATP Stats, Zverev claimed the ace title for the first time in his career. It’s the fifth time the German has ranked in the top 5 for aces in a season but the first time he finishes at the top.
Zverev reigns as 2024 ace leader
Interestingly, Zverev’s total of 800 aces marks the first time in ATP history that a season’s ace leader fails to surpass this threshold. Zverev is the player with the fewest aces to lead the annual leaderboard since 1991 when Guy Forget ended the year with just 595.
Behind him is Hubert Hurkacz, last year's ace leader with over 1,000—a remarkable feat achieved by only 10 players in ATP history. In 2024, Hurkacz hit 736 aces in 58 matches, despite undergoing knee surgery mid-season.
Trailing them are American players Taylor Fritz (725) and Ben Shelton (619), who maintained top-10 positions from last season, ranking third and fourth, respectively. Russian Andrey Rublev rounds out the top 5.
World No. 1 Jannik Sinner appears in sixth place with 563 aces in 2024. The Italian also impressed with his service game, winning 91.4% of his service games throughout the season—the highest percentage on the ATP Tour this year.

Not according to the past few years of questionable corporate conduct. ITIA can no longer be trusted to fairly regulate nor investigate itself... so who or what will??mandoist06-12-2024
