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.
澳洲選手Samuel Groth於本週三的南韓釜山挑戰賽中，轟出時速263公里的發球，
這也是職業賽事裡，有史以來速度最快的發球。
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.
不過基於測速槍會有誤差，ATP官方並未重視發球速度的數據，但它同時也認可在
此挑戰賽使用的測速槍，是合格的配備，根據其他的資料顯示，測速槍的數據都
在正常範圍內。
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.
原本最快的發球記錄保持者，是由克國選手Ivo Karlovic，在2011年三月份征戰
台維斯杯時所創下的，速度是每小時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在同一場比賽，也分別發出時速253.5及255.7公里的發球。
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歲，二月份在澳洲伯尼挑戰賽進到決賽，三月
則在日本京都挑戰賽前進到四強。
