Aces and Fast Serves

Wayne Arthurs (AUS)  |

I had one… Oh those were the fun days… Standing ready to serve and picking your spot and making an ace… It’s a sweet shot. What am I leading up to?

I have a really great buddy down under in Australia. My best “mate,” Wayne Arthurs who turns forty years old next month. Wayne served the fastest recorded serve in the 2011 Australian open!

Does it matter that it was in the LEGENDS event? Nope! Wayne Arthurs served the fastest serve. He just did…  ready for the numbers. He out served. John Isner. Andy Roddick. Milos Raonic. Fernando Verdasco. Robin Soderling. Stan Wawrinka. Feliciano Lopez. Andy Murray. Carsten Ball. Tomas Berdych. The list keeps going and going. He out served them all!! Every guy in the 128 men’s singles draw. The 128 guys in the dubs. Mixed dubs. … Bravo dear Wayno. You get the award. You hold the record. The title.

Wayne Arthurs 231 km/h.

From Wayne to Westwood California. Any Bruins out there? Anybody visiting Los Angeles has to make two stops in Westwood. Westwood Sporting Goods. That’s easy. The best little old tennis shop around. Followed by Stan’s Donuts. Yummo. Stan has been at his same location since 1963. Alan Fox was that one of your morning rituals? Jimmy? Billy Martin? Coach Bassett? 10sballs.com puts Stan’s Donuts and Rick at Westwood Sporting Goods down as must stops.

Wouldn’t every player like to get their rackets strung by the same hands that string Pete’s rackets…. and munch down on the donuts? Unless you are Tommy Haas and you’re inhaling In-n-Out burgers…

The only way to describe this U.S. open is soaking wet without raining... It's really hard to play tennis when your socks are soaking wet and you are "sloshing" in your shoes. Your shoes get really heavy when they get wet.
