Fastest recorded tennis serves

Last updated

This article lists the fastest record serve speeds for men's and women's professional tennis.

Contents

Max reported speeds that are severe outliers are dubious due to the occasional errors with ATP radar equipment. [1] Some notable outliers are the recorded speeds of John Isner at 4,718 km/h (2,931.6 mph), [2] João Sousa at 2,077 km/h (1,290.6 mph), [3] Denis Shapovalov at 424 km/h (263.5 mph), [4] Laslo Djere at 305 km/h (189.5 mph), [5] Alejandro Davidovich Fokina at 252 km/h (156.6 mph), [6] Ryan Harrison at 69,000 km/h (42,874.6 mph), [7] Gaël Monfils at 242.0 km/h (150 mph), [8] and Rafael Nadal at 230.0 km/h (142.9 mph). [9]

The fastest recorded serve is by Sam Groth, at 163.7 mph (263.4 km/h) at a Challenger event. His second fastest record speed, and his fastest at an ATP event, was 147 mph at Wimbledon. [10] [11] Similarly, John Isner once hit a serve recorded at 253.0 km/h (157 mph) in the first round of the 2016 Davis Cup. One of the next fastest recorded speeds for Isner is 144 mph and the fastest serve in most of his matches is between 137 and 142 mph. [12] The fastest recorded speed that is not an outlier is 149 mph by Ben Shelton. At 20 years old, the American Ben Shelton served at 149 mph twice in the same game during the 1/8 finals of the 2023 US Open. [13] Shelton has reached speeds of 147 mph to 149 mph on multiple occasions. [14]

This list is not historically complete. For instance, not listed here, Roscoe Tanner's serve was clocked at 153 mph at Palm Springs in 1978 during the final against Raúl Ramírez. There are also reports that Bill Tilden had a serve that was clocked at 163.3 mph but there is nothing to verify that. [15] Also, Ellsworth Vines in the Wimbledon finals of 1932 clocked 121 mph (without Radar). [16] Udayachand Shetty's winning serve was clocked by radar at 120 mph using a wooden racquet, at the Gilbey Gins fast serve contest held in Chicago on 24 July 1976. [17] This qualified him to take part in the finals at the West Side Tennis Club in Forest Hills Queens on 20 August 1976. Colin Dibley of Australia won the event with a serve of 130 mph. [18]

Milos Raonic with a 235 km/h (146.0 mph) second serve in the second round of the 2017 Australian Open in Melbourne and Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard with a 235 km/h (146.0 mph) second serve in the first round of the 2024 BOSS Open in Stuttgart, holds the record for the fastest second serve ever recorded.

Women

The WTA doesn't keep official serve speed rankings of its own for all its events for a variety of reasons—mainly that serve speed isn't captured on every court at every tournament, and sometimes the technology being used isn't consistent from event to event. The Women's Tennis Association does have an external partner that it officially recognizes which measures and maintains serve speed data at selected number of events. It does not recognize at all, nor keep tabs of speed records set outside the main draw phase of WTA Tour tournaments. Therefore, serve speeds recorded from the qualifying phase of WTA tournaments are not added to the official WTA serve speed statistics. Also WTA tournament serve speeds recorded by different measurement systems or brands (at the discretion of the host or organizer) that are not using technology provided by ATP/WTA's official supplier or partner (currently SMT/IDS), or speeds recorded at any of the non-WTA professional women's tournaments such as the ITF Women's Circuit, the Fed Cup, and Olympics tennis are not added to WTA's official list of records.

In tennis, an ace is a legal serve that is not touched by the receiver, winning the point for the server. In professional tennis, aces are generally seen on a player's first serve, where the server can strike the ball with maximum force and take more chances with ball placement, such as the far corners of the service box. According to the International Tennis Hall of Fame, this term was coined by the sports journalist Allison Danzig.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Longest tennis match records</span>

This article details longest tennis match records by duration or number of games. The 1970–1973 introduction of the tiebreak reduced the opportunity for such records to be broken. However, among the four majors, the US Open, Australian Open and Wimbledon use the tiebreak in the final set, while the French Open, through 2021, was the only major to use the advantage set rules in the final set, which allows for an indefinite number of games until one player is ahead by two. A 2022 rule change now requires every Grand Slam tournament to use the tiebreak in the final set. The Olympic Games have also used a final set tiebreak since 2016.

Three-time defending champion Novak Djokovic defeated Nick Kyrgios in the final, 4–6, 6–3, 6–4, 7–6(7–3) to win the gentlemen's singles tennis title at the 2022 Wimbledon Championships. It was his seventh Wimbledon title and 21st major singles title overall. Djokovic became the fifth man in the Open Era to record a streak of at least four consecutive titles at one major. By reaching his 32nd men's singles major final, he surpassed Roger Federer's all-time record. Djokovic also became the first player to win 80 matches at all four majors with his first-round win over Kwon Soon-woo. Because the ATP decided not to award ranking points in response to Wimbledon's banning of Russian and Belarusian players, Djokovic dropped out of the top five in the ATP rankings after winning the tournament.
