TENNIS: SERVING SPEED SOON TO EXCEED 257 KM/HR

Coaches and scientists agree: tennis serving speed will soon reach 257,5 km/hr. According to the Wall Street Journal, quoting biomechanical experts, the current top speed limit is about 241,4 km/hr for men and 209,2 for women, but is likely to increase. The increase in serving speed is not due to racket improvements, but has been achieved thanks to the athletes’ superior form and muscle tone. .
