I watch Tennis for a few reasons: Roger Federer’s graceful class, Djokovic’s never-say-die approach, and that square box in the corner that measures serves. I remember Goran Ivanisevic setting records in the 90’s with his monstrous serve. I recall how amazed I was at someone with the ability to make a tiny green ball travel at such high speeds. The record at the moment belongs to Australian Samuel Groth with a service of 163.4 mph (263 km/h).
As an amateur football player, I was always aware that I could never kick the ball as strongly as college players, let alone professional athletes who spend their day training to kick the ball.
