Not surprisingly, world number 1 Serena Williams hit the most aces in the 209 season. Here are the top 10:
1. Serena Williams--346
2. Nadia Petrova--306
3. Samantha Stosur--277
4. Sabine Lisicki--243
5. Venus Williams--240
6. Alisa Kleybanova--215
7. Lucie Safarova--202
8. Flavia Pennetta--199
9. Magdalena Rybarikova--189
10. Svetlana Kuznetsova--186
I am not surprised about Serena but the second was Nadia Petrova. I guess I don't get to see her that much. Interesting that Safarova was in the top 10 also. Wasn't surprised about Stosur after seeing her play a couple of times. I wish the WTA would give more match fact statistics. The ATP relates stats about service games, return games, etc. I don't see a place for many of these things on the WTA site. I know that some things are available from Notes and Netcords but still not everything I would like to know. I just feel that the WTA doesn't treat the women as athletes first sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more, Sunny.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, Nadia has always been a big server. I just wish she could get back to her 2006 form.
