I was at the US Open last year (2023) and saw Ben Shelton serve a 153mph serve. It was an ace. I think he was playing Tommy Paul. The interesting thing about how fast the serve was is that the ball went so fast that you saw it hit the court before you heard it. It bounced once and then hit the wall at the back of the court. I've never seen anything quite like it. Amazing.

@@keiraidontknow That sounds right. They replayed it on the giant screen and it was still unbelievable.

Emma and Ben are great representatives for USA!

the sound of bens serve 💥

David thought he had Ben's serve figured out, and then Ben hit him with the lefty spin

yooo that was fun. we should have more crossover things like this. thanks for putting this together!

Ben’s serve is so satisfying to watch. Most explosive since Roddick. Gets so much speed despite not being a giant like Raonic, Isner and co.

Emma still using the older V6 2021 Vcore 100. Been searching all racket shops for left overs as it is an exceptional stick. Newer is not always better.

What a serve! 🎾🔥

Ben has an amazing serve

Love seeing Ben so relaxed next to Emma. They seem like a couple.

Great for tennis!

BENSKI serving bombs out here. Damn!

For the culture!

This was hilarious😅 I've ALWAYS wanted to see a normal human being try and return a top atp serve. I've watched exhibition matches where top players deliberately play soft tennis and it's not nearly as much fun as watching people trying to return those 120 mph serves!

It was the Ben Shelton show. He was sucking up all the air in Miami.

are the dragonball z noises apart of ben's actual serve or is that an added effect?

Shelton would be a good QB in a different life

It's interesting how tennis and football lie on different places in the skill-athleticism spectrum. Tennis is more skill, (relatively) less athleticism, and football is (relatively) less skill and relies more on just raw, brute athleticism. This is why at the beginner level here, Ben and Emma were able to put up a presentable front whereas the Miami Dolphins couldn't even touch the ball.

I think its more cuz throwing has a very similar technique to a tennis serve. Also anyone can throw(just at different skill levels) but not everyone knows how to swing a racket because I wouldn't consider a tennis racket a household item. That's why most people look like fools when they first use tennis rackets.
