What's wrong with you, people?! When you're talking serve there's only one you have to look at it: Serena. Both first and second. That's the best server EVER out there. I think Serena must be for sure the only player who can matches without losing her serve when's on. Remember her match against Monica in Montreal'01 7-5 7-6?! She didn't face a SINGLE breakpoint the whole match and only trailed in like 2 service games!! And this against one of the best returners, maybe ever: Monica. Now that's what we call serving!! Or even further Lipton '99. She didn't drop serve until the SEMI'S!!!
