Isner due to break 14,000 aces barrier at Australian Open next week

John Isner will create tennis history at the Australian Open as the American is set to hit 14.000 aces becoming the first player in history to do so.

Isner has always created all sorts of records in the aces category being the player with the most aces since tracking started. There have only been a handful of players that hit 10.000 aces in their careers but no player ever hit 14.000 aces. He's on pace to hit that mark pretty soon as he's only 12 aces shy as of now.

The only other players that have hit 10.000 aces in their careers are:

None of them is active anymore so Isner will be extending his lead this year. Isner is not too concerned about the aces mark as his goal is to get to 500 wins:

“I would love to get 500 wins. I’ve never set performance goals for myself. I’ve always had the motto to work hard and take care of myself and let the results fall where they fall. But I would love to get to 500 wins. I think that’d be an amazing milestone for myself. Something I never could have imagined in a million years myself doing when I turned pro at 22 years old.”
