John Isner sets tennis record for most aces of all-time

John Isner may have lost to Jannik Sinner in the third round of Wimbledon on Friday, but in the process he set a men’s tennis record. In the 6-4, 7-6, 6-3 loss, Isner, the 20th-ranked player in the world, recorded his 13, 729th ace to break the record previously set by Ivo Karlovic of Croatia, who had 13, 728 aces.

Isner finished up with 24 aces in the match and now has 13,748 aces for his career. However Isner’s serve did not help him much at all in the match, because he could not read Sinner’s serve whatsoever. Isner did not have one single break point opportunity.

With the win, Sinner will face the fifth seed Carlos Alcaraz of Spain, in one of the most high-profile fourth round matches. Alcaraz is becoming one of tennis’s great rising superstars, and has had an unbelievable 2022 season so far at the ATP Masters 1000 level with wins at Miami and Madrid. We know Alcaraz is dangerous on hard court and clay, and on Friday he showed the world he can be dangerous on grass too. Alcaraz completely clobbered Oscar Otte of Germany, 6-3, 6-1, 6-2. Otte is a grass-court specialist who reached the semifinals in Stuttgart and Halle, but was completely clobbered in his third round match.

Seven of the eight highest seeded players on the men’s side won on Friday. The only upset came from Tim van Rijthoven of the Netherlands, who beat the 22nd seed, Nikoloz Basilashvili of Georgia, 6-4, 6-3, 6-4. Van Rijthoven was awarded a Wimbledon wildcard by winning the Libema Open last month.
