His forehand volley at 9-10 in the third set tiebreak to save a match point was seriously impressive. He smashed it right into the corner.<\/p>\n<p>The Canadian is possibly one of the best servers of all time and definitely one of the best in the last decade. His service motion is effortless and efficient. It&#8217;s very interesting to watch someone do something better than anybody else on earth, and this record will be extremely hard to beat. It&#8217;s too bad Raonic has struggled so much with injuries throughout his career because he had a little more to his game than some of the other big servers like <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/2023\/08\/31\/john-isner-us-open-retires-from-tennis\/\" target=\"_self\">John Isner<\/a> and Ivo Karlovic.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">The perfect game from <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mraonic?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@mraonic<\/a>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Aside from hitting a line umpire and ball kid along the way \ud83e\udd23<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/cinchChampionships?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#cinchChampionships<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/NZ2HV5nKXn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/NZ2HV5nKXn<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 cinch Championships (@QueensTennis) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/QueensTennis\/status\/1802737399597801949?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">June 17, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Raonic understands he can rely on his serve at this point in his career since he has always had a tremendous serve.
