Happy midnight, folks. Here are the ace statistics I promised to deliver in my post below (hat tip to Greg Sharko for providing them).  Note that out of the eight top ace-producing performances, only one of them - Isner's -  occured in a one-week, non-Grand Slam event. This was quite a feat, I'd say.

Player                                 No.    Tournament

  • Goran Ivanisevic               212    2001 Wimbledon
