Who has the fastest and consistant serve in tennis.....?

Question

what guy? and what girl?

Answer 1

Here are my answers, GENTLEMEN first:

FASTEST: ANDY RODDICK by far. He holds the official record for fastest tennis serve at 155 mph (250 kph, 09/27/04, Davis Cup tie with Belarus, vs. Vladimir Voltchkov). However, some records show that "Big Bill" Tilden blasted a 163 mph (263 kph) serve in 1931. But due to the difference in clocking techniques that time, this record is often not recognized.

MOST CONSISTENT: IVAN LJUBICIC. He always leads ATP in total number of aces in a year, and highest average per game.

SPECIAL AWARD for serving goes to ROGER FEDERER. He has the most stylish serve, which is too difficult to read. His serves do not need to be fastest to deceive the eyes of his opponent.

OTHER NOTABLE SERVERS: Pete Sampras, Joachim Johansson, Mario Ancic, Ivo Karlovic. (I don't know what's with the Croatians that they serve too hard! Maybe it's the height, or just a product of rigorous training.)

LADIES:

FASTEST: Brenda Schultz-McCarthy (130 mph). This is a new record, only set last July 2006 in the Western & Southern Financial Group Women's Open in Ohio. She reclaimed her record from Venus Williams (127 mph) served at the tournament in Zurich at the 90's.

MOST CONSISTENT: WILLIAMS Sisters. Do you notice how their opponents react each time they are on service? Such strong serves for ladies, at times faster than their male counterpart.

SPECIAL CITATION goes to MARIA SHARAPOVA. She has a punishing serve coupled with a very loud grunting. The problem is whether the serve or the shriek troubles the receiver (laughs....)

Answer 2

Fastest: Andy Roddick

Most Consistent, and difficult to read: Fed

I wish roddick had a more consistent serve. It was his serve which let him down in the tie breaker when he had match point against Fed.

I was there watching live the semis and the finals and other matches. Saw the opponents being clueless with the kind of deception in Fed's serve or against the speed of Roddick's serve.

Answer 3

Andy Roddick Amelie Mauresmo

Answer 4

Man: Andy Roddick
Woman: Serena Williams

Answer 5

Ivan Ljubicic the number 5 in the world has the most consistent serve in the pros

P.S. He also has more aces than Roddick for all you roddick lovers out there

Answer 6

Make sure that your toss is correct so you don't have to chase it before you hit the ball. When your arm is extended that is how high the toss should be. When you get that toss correct you have to hit down on the ball add in a wrist snap at the end. That will guide the ball fast with control. If it hurts after a day ice your wrist. Don't put heat on it. That will just irritate it more. You can also see if you can get your racket strung tighter. That will make the ball bounce right off the racket.
