According to the ATP’s website, Raonic has registered a 299.5 serve rating over the last 52 weeks. This season Raonic and Monfils have played twice — in the quarter-finals at both the Australian Open and Indian Wells. While he ranks 19th worldwide in serve rating, Monfils says he’s still adjusting to a playing surface that will boost his service game. Like the 185km/h changeup he snuck past qualifier Jared Donaldson to end the first game of a match Raonic would win 6-2, 6-3. Measured by serve rating, a metric that factors in first serve percentage, service points won, aces and double faults, Raonic is the tour’s third-most effective server.
