I remember Djokovic hiting one at 196 kph last year at Indian Wells or Miami?

 

This is one of the quickest by Blake

I was hoping that someone here has exact numbers, maybe statracket or voo de mar?

 

Interesting question but I don't know sorry.

 

Serve - Andy Roddick - 155 mph - Is anyone surprised that Roddick broke this record?

Forehand - Gael Monfils - 120 mph - Monfils usually uses lots of top spin on his forehand, but this shows how potent his forehand is when he flattens it out.

Backhand - David Nalbandian - 110 mph

Overhead - Andy Roddick - 180ish mph

 

One of the fastest forehands I have seen. Djokovic vs. Tsonga here:

 

Yes,I was thinking about this one as well

 

did u know? ANAGRAM

President Clinton Of The USA = To Copulate He Finds Intern

New York Times = Monkey Writes

Mother-In-Law = Woman Hitler

Ronald Wilson Reagan = Insane Anglo Warlord

The American Revolution = Unite To Revile A Monarch

 

I don't know if delpo hit the fastest but he seems to do it many times with great speed.

 

I bet DelPo hits them with the most consistent speed

 

Well, i wouldn't count out Blake or Berdych... But anyway, i was wondering what are exact speeds of the fastest forehands that top players hit? I'm sure someone here would know...

 

I don't buy any of the numbers listed, except for the Roddick serve.

There is no way that Monfils hit a 118 mph forehand.

I've seen Nadal and Del Potro both hit around 108-110 mph forehands....the number is probably very close to 110.

 

Decide for yourself

 

I've seen it before. I don't buy it....it was probably the serve speed. If he could hit it that hard....it'd have happened more than once ever. Or we'd at least be seeing him hit some 110-115....I don't recall ever seeing it happen though.

But that isn't his style of play. He was feeling it in that match, and the ball was at the perfect height. I mean he flattened it as flat as you can possibly hit the ball. Hitting the ball over 100 MPH takes perfect timing, and the ball has to be in the perfect height and distance from you.

You know, they do clock groundstrokes many times, especially at the Australian Open. 118 is fast, but I mean, just because you think the ball should a lot faster than what the video depicts if it was actually 118 doesn't mean it isn't 118. Have you see player level camera work of players serving in the 120s? It isn't much faster looking than Gael's forehand in that video. I honestly believe that he did hit it 190 KM/H.

Hmm ok not as fast as i initially thought it was when i first saw that match.

The Monfils one was insane.

I have no idea how to post direct videos from youtube like the poster above lol.

 

I remember Fed hitting one at 107 mph (173 kmh) against Benneteau in Cincy 2007... Tried to find it on youtube, but i couldn't, sorry. And that Djokovic' one against Tsonga, that's got to be around 110mph! It looked like a bullet...

 

LOL at Roddick's 180MPH overhead
It's not faster than a serve so no more than 140MPH.

 

lol? An overhead cannot potentially be strucked faster than a serve? This is meant to be a joke right?

 

Djokovic can pull off extreme high risk bullet like forehands whenever he's pissed off thanks to his flexibility and extended rotation. I believe the two hardest forehands he's ever struck were both from playing Tsonga. The one shown on youtube here, and the one at Queens. He lost both matches but in Queens even the commentators were laughing after they saw it, as it was from sheer anger bash with the speed clocking up to 189km/hr.

 

That was against Nadal at Queens 2008, I watched it on TV, it was 189 km/hr. And yeah, from sheer anger, like against Tsonga in Marseille last year.

 

Nadal's backhand vs. Djokovic Montreal 2007 had to be at least 110 mph.

feds got the consistantly fastest forehand. most of his winners are 145 kmh +, he isnt capable of bullet bashing forehands though, that djoker one was nuts, i couldnt even see the ball@!

 

The biggest forehand I have ever seen in person is from Dmitry Tursunov...

 

One of the most vicious forehands I have ever seen, some of his 2004 US open ones vs Hewitt were beasty aswell.

 

to make youtube vids

please rep me if this has been useful- recently ive had some negative feedback from some nadal tards

 

Fixed.

 

thanks for the help!

 

I've heard about Tursonov hitting a 128 mph forehand. Don't know if it's true. I din't find video about this

 

The second forehand in this video is straight up the middle of the court but it's so fast that it's still a clean winner.

Could it be that 182 km/h serve speed meter shown at the end of the clip is the speed of the serve on which Blake hit the return winner? To me his return definitely appears faster than the serve (not saying it has to be).

 

I even saw Kohlschreiber hit something like a 180kph forehand once. Of course it helped that it was off a short ball that only landed about 2m from the net.

 

Roddick hit a 107mph forehand against Hewitt at Wimbledon last year, it will be in the highlights of the match on youtube towards the end. Also Monfils hit one 112mph against Nadal at Doha last year.

 

Nadal hit one at 112mph against Schuettler.
