Everyone with the 153 mph serve has outdated info! The current record still lies with Andy Roddick, but has increased to 155 mph, or 249.4 kph. It happened on September 27, 2004 in a Davis Cup match against Belarus. Roddick was playing Vladimir Voltchkov and the serve set him up with three match points. Needless to say, it was an ace!
Some claim that Bill Tilden served up a 161 mph blast in 1915 but the record is dubious given their clocking methods at the time.

Slobodan Zivojinovic had the fastest serve, comparing the old rackets and balls to the ones of today.
Its like for example, in athletics comparing the drugs Zatopek used and the ones of Ben Johnson.
