ATP & WTA First-Serve Points Won Leaders 2026

First-serve points won is the share of points a player wins when their first serve goes in. It is the cleanest single measure of how much damage a first serve actually does, because it counts the whole point, not just the aces.

This is the stat that separates a big serve from an effective one. A player can win a point outright with an ace, with a serve-plus-one forehand, or by simply starting the rally ahead — all three land here. The very top of this board is usually the same short list as the top of the rankings, which is exactly why it is worth reading.

How first-serve points won is measured

First-serve points won is total points won behind a first serve divided by total first serves in, expressed as a percentage.

A player qualifies for this board with at least 15 singles matches in the 2026 pool and at least 15 of those matches carrying this statistic. The floor is half the busiest schedule on tour, capped at 15 — a flat 15 would leave the board empty until roughly April, when the pool has barely filled. The Matches column on every row is that player's own denominator, so a number taken over a thin sample is visible as one rather than hidden behind a rank. A tour section is withheld entirely below 25 qualified players.

Coverage and limits

Figures cover Grand Slam, 1000- and 500-level singles matches in 2026, on every surface. 250-level and lower-tier events are not counted, so a player's totals here run below their full-season numbers — which is also why this page ranks a per-match or per-point RATE rather than a season total. A total drawn from a partial pool would be wrong in a way a rate is not.

Serve-point splits are recorded alongside the scoreboard statistics for the great majority of tour-level matches. In the 2026 pool this statistic is recorded for 2,958 of the 3,040 ATP matches (97%) and 2,922 of the 3,298 WTA matches (89%).

Ranks and values on this page are computed over the same pool, so the ordering and the numbers beside it always agree. Drop Shot is not the ATP or the WTA and these are not official tour statistics: they are aggregated from our own match feed, and where a match did not report a statistic it contributes nothing to either the numerator or the denominator.
