AUSSIE GROTH HITS SPEEDY SERVES by ATP Staff | 12.05.2012 Australian Samuel Groth hit an ace recorded at 163.4 mph (263 kph) Wednesday during an ATP Challenger event in Busan, South Korea. The serve, which came during Groth’s second-round defeat to Belarusian Uladzimir Ignatik, is the fastest ever recorded at a professional tennis event. 澳洲选手Samuel Groth於本周三的南韩釜山挑战赛中，轰出时速263公里的发球， 这也是职业赛事里，有史以来速度最快的发球。 The ATP does not officially recognise service speed records because of the variance in radar guns, but confirmed that the event was using approved equipment, and that other data gathered appeared within a normal range. 不过基於测速枪会有误差，ATP官方并未重视发球速度的数据，但它同时也认可在 此挑战赛使用的测速枪，是合格的配备，根据其他的资料显示，测速枪的数据都 在正常范围内。 Currently, the fastest-recorded serve at an ATP World Tour or Davis Cup level event is a 156 mph (251 kph) rocket hit by Croatian Ivo Karlovic during a Davis Cup tie between Croatia and Germany in Zagreb in March, 2011. 原本最快的发球记录保持者，是由克国选手Ivo Karlovic，在2011年三月份征战 台维斯杯时所创下的，速度是每小时251公里。 Groth hit two other serves recorded at 157.5 mph (253.5 kph) and 158.9 mph (255.7 kph) respectively in the same match. Groth在同一场比赛，也分别发出时速253.5及255.7公里的发球。 Groth, No. 340 in the South African Airways ATP Rankings, tweeted after the match: 'Lost 4&3 average! Did hit a 263kmh serve though in for an ace.' The 24 year old reached the Challenger final in Burnie, Australia, in February and the semi-finals of the Kyoto Challenger in Japan in March. 他目前排名在世界第340位，今年24岁，二月份在澳洲伯尼挑战赛进到决赛，三月 则在日本京都挑战赛前进到四强。 http://tinyurl.com/7qrw2nh --- 总算有能让人留下印象的...另类成就?
