That's about it, isn't it?!!!
So much more power in today's pro tennis. I guess they need that extra oomph.
I remember Rosco Tanner beating Borg at the US Open quarters with his 100 mph serves.
Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Two games in a row...Borg never flinched. We were awed.
Nowadays it's common for a 135 mph serve and 115 mph forehand ground stroke.
Andy Murray so far has the fastest ground stroke in pro tennis.
126 mph forehand in Cincinnati against Marty Fish. That's pumping it, folks.
