Talk about opening things up, on just his second his second serve of the match
Andy Roddick smacked a record-breaking 150-mph serve, but it was called out.
However, the American superstar playing in the second rubber of a first round
Davis Cup tie against Austria's Stefan Koubek, would not be denied a new record
Friday night.
In the eighth and final game of the first set, Roddick finally connected for a
150-mph that was called good and not too surprisingly, was unreturned by Koubek.
In doing so, Roddick eclipsed the prior world's serve speed best which he
shared with Britain's Greg Rusesdski at 149-mph.
"The first couple of games, I glanced at the radar. That's sort of a gauge for
me," said Roddick, the first player to ever reach the 150-mph mark. "When I
opened up with a buck-fifty, I thought, 'That's out of the ordinary."
Added Roddick, who defeated Koubek 6-4, 6-4, 6-2, in just 1-hour, 31-minutes to
give the US at 2-0 lead over Austria, 声t the end of the day, the thing that
matters is that I didn急 get broken. And that旧 the one that I歓l take anyday.
