During his US Open semifinal match against Frances Tiafoe, Ben Shelton appeared to shatter the record for the fastest tennis serve ever recorded on the main ATP Tour.While serving in the third set, the stadium’s serve clock registered a staggering 158 mph (approximately 254 km/h). The moment caused instant excitement:
  • Commentator John McEnroe reacted in disbelief on the live broadcast, exclaiming, “That’s the hardest serve ever hit!”
  • Official social media accounts for the US Open, the ATP Tour, and ESPN quickly posted video clips celebrating the historic milestone.
However, the celebration was short-lived. It was soon confirmed that the reading was the result of a radar gun malfunction on Arthur Ashe Stadium. Shelton’s serve had actually traveled in the mid-140s mph range, meaning the supposed world-record 158 mph mark was an erroneous reading rather than an official record.
