How to calculate tennis first serve percentage

First serve percentage in tennis measures how often a player's first serve attempt lands in — a fundamental serving consistency statistic.

How the calculation works

First serve percentage = (First serves in ÷ First serves attempted) × 100.

Example

32 first serves in out of 50 attempted: (32÷50)×100 = 64%.

Pro Tips for Tennis First Serve Percentage

  1. Professional players commonly aim for first serve percentages in the 60-70% range, balancing consistency against serve power/placement aggression.
  2. Track alongside first-serve points won percentage for a fuller picture, since a high first-serve percentage with a low points-won rate suggests overly conservative serving.

Common Tennis First Serve Percentage Mistakes to Avoid

  • Judging serving effectiveness by first serve percentage alone without also considering points won on first serves, since these represent different (though related) aspects of serving performance.
