Professional Tennis is the hardest sport in the world in my opinion. It’s individual with no coaching allowed on the men’s side. You need extreme physical fitness for long matches, or short matches with intense points. You have to have skill like in golf but with your racquet. And you also have to have extreme mental toughness and intelligence to play different types of opponents. And you have to do this year round Internationally in different time zones on different surfaces.

You should have asked Dustin Brown to serve, cause when he hits the ball, the ball catches on fire.

Also, a big fat serve only focusing on pace sacrifices accuracy and deception, and at pro level, time might be better spent to shore up a more well rounded serve and focus on other parts of your game. When Fed battled Roddick all those times, Roddick being able to serve 15 mph faster than Roger had marginal effects in covering up the fact that Fed had far superior ground strokes.

Samuel Groth of Australia achieved a World Record of the fastest serve ever in tennis history with a service speed of 163.7 mph (263.4 kph) at the Busan Open 2012 Challenger Event.

This video misses the whole point that serve speed isn’t the most important thing ever. Placement is which is why most aces are at 115 mph

I mean it’s just typical to at least include the “tennis legends” name

Wood Croft it says “MPH” in the title and thumbnail why did you click if you can’t convert

10:16 this is really bad statistics. No proof that player height influences serving speed.

easier to get a serve over the net, plus the angle is different

At least not by the chart shown. I'm not even sure what the data are that I'm looking at. Are they the speeds in a set number of serves for each height?? You can draw a line through the data as shown but the regression coefficient will be no where near 1. There's no way that data suggests a linear fit or any fit for that matter. It just doesn't show any correlation at all. It would be more insightful to plot the average speed of serves at each height, maybe include one standard deviation on each side.

😒 Dude.. Narrator said "You don't need to be tall to hit hard, but it definitely helps."

Given that many parts of the world televise pro tennis using metric system and also use the metric system, would it be useful to include the km conversions as well during the video?
