Stella Artois ATP Perfect Serve: Vote now for September's winner

From fearless second serves to hammering aces under pressure, the September contenders are in for the ATP Perfect Serve, brought to you by Stella Artois. Now, it is up to the fans to decide the winner.

Alexander Bublik produced a moment of brilliance in the Hangzhou final, sealing the opening set with a second-serve ace that left both his opponent and the crowd stunned. It was one of 70 aces that the Kazakhstani struck that week, during which he won all 44 of his service games en route to the title.

Bublik’s final opponent, Frenchman Valentin Royer, also had a clutch delivery of his own at the ATP 250. Royer had the hot hand in the quarter-finals, crushing back-to-back aces to force a first-set tie-break. Moments later, Royer hammered yet another ace to seal the tie-break 7/0 against Learner Tien.

China’s Zhang Zhizhen provided his own dose of serving perfection, striking an ace to save match point before returning to the same spot — a booming serve down the T — to clinch victory against his countryman Buyunchaokete.
