Ferrer just served 244km/h/151.5MPH!!! at RG
it appears to look like roddicks "world record" serve is going to be toppled soon!
Ferrer IS ONLY 5'9" AND 160lbs also!!!

Ferrer and Hernandez both clocked above 145? Something is seriously wrong there. Had Ferrer ever previously in his career even hit above 135? 140?

Let's hope that they aren't drug testing at this years tournament, for both Ferrer and Hernandez's sake  |

there's got to be something wrong with those stats. ferrer just isn't capable of serving 151 mph and oscar hernandez cant hit 146. i'm having a very hard time believing that those stats are real and that there wasn't some sort of typo or malfunction.

Malfunction of the gun. Clearly.
Just like Safin's 160 mph serve.

Who at the end decides if it is malfunction of the reading or not? Or do they have to call the malfunction right-away?

Wow! That's big from Ferrer. I knew his serve wasn't bad but that's huge. But I'm surprised about Oscar Henerdez hitting 146. I saw him play Nadal and he didn't look like he could hit a serve over 125 MPH

typical American response...............
people can believe that Roddick can hit 155 mph but cannot believe David ferrer's 151.5mph serve and automatically make up excuses like there is a malfunction with the speed gun!?

I believe he never hit ANYTHING above 140, heck, perhaps 135, and now, all of a sudden, adds 10 mph to his serve? and only ONCE in a match? And Guccione and Dent have hit 150s before. Karlovic was close with 149, but both of them have HUGE serves, while Ferrer doesn't. I wouldn't be surprised if Thomas Johansson, or Ivan Ljubicic or Almagro hits a 150... but watching Ferrer hitting a 150 is like seeing Nalbandian hitting a 150. And I'm not American.

The serve stats for the match:
Fastest serve: Deuce court: Wide: 180 kmh Body: 244 kmh !!! T: 193 kmh Adv court: Wide: 185 kmh Body: 184 kmh T: 181 kmh So, he didn't reach 125 mph on ANY serve, and all of a sudden clocks 25 mph MORE!!?? And he had only 1 ace to the body serve... and was it the 244 kmh? Ferrer can't add 25 mph to a single serve all of a sudden, adlis. It was malfunctioning. Readed the wrong speed.

And the average speed for that body serve to the deuce court was 181 kmh ... so, we have to assume he felt like hitting one serve 60! kmh faster?

maybe he was just really ****ed and decided to smack the sh|t out of the ball and just happened to hit it dead center perfectly. I'd say it was unlikely, but possible.
