It's always a tough fight against Iga. Both of Sabalenka's Madrid titles came in a clash with the current world no 1. Two years earlier, Sabalenka had defeated Ashleigh Barty to clinch the crown.

Sabalenka won the fourth break point in the first set to take a crucial 5-3 lead. In the second set, Swiatek came from a 3-0 lead to tie it at 3-3. But the top seed won the set at 5-3 on his break points. Sabalenka took a 3–0 lead in the third set, but Swiatek won two games to bring the score to 3–2. Swiatek had nothing to do with Sabalenka's power game.She won the set 6-3 to seal the Madrid Open 2023 title.

"It's something unbelievable. I'm really happy that I'm able to fight against her and I'm able to get this win so it's not like so super boring for people to watch our matches. I really enjoy playing on clay, because I have extra time. It's not super fast, so I can go for my powerful shots. There are longer rallies. It's like not just bomb, bomb." Sabalenka said after winning the Madrid Open 2023.

Most titles in tennis career (men's) Top 10 list

Big-serving players have benefited throughout tennis history. One of the most advanced weaponry a tennis player may have is a powerful, well-placed first serve. While most professionals can put the ball anywhere they want, only a few are capable of reaching speeds in the upper 140s and also the 150s.

Sam Groth set a new world record for the fastest tennis serve with a speed of 263.4 km/h (163.7 mph). Regretfully, for the Australian, the ATP does not recognise that record because it was set at a Challenger tournament.

However, we'll limit ourselves to ATP-recognised fastest serves in tennis history for the applications of this top ten.

Top 14 fastest serves in Tennis history (ATP recognised)

Without any further ado, let us dive right into the topic. Please keep in mind that only one serve per player is recorded here.

14. Juan Martin del Potro | 149.1 mph (240km/h)

• Speed: 240 km/h (149.1 mph)

• Event: 2017 Stockholm Open (ATP 250)

• Round: Singles Final

Juan Martin del Potro, also known as 'The Tower of Tandil', is unsurprisingly included in the list. He is the finest Argentinian player of his generation, having won the US Open.

No one struck it in the final encounter that they won out of all the players who are in the top ten, except him.

Del Potro claimed the Stockholm Open in 2017 after defeating Grigor Dimitrov in straight sets(6-4, 6-2). In the process, he did not forget to hit a 149.1 mph serve. 

However, his overall performance earned him the 10th position in our list of the Top 14 fastest serves in tennis history.

6-foot-11 American Reilly Opelka, just like other tall tennis players, has the uncanny usual big and fast serves in his arsenal. The 27-year-old is tied with Ivo Karlović for the tallest-ever ATP-ranked player ever. 

Termed as the 'Next Big Thing' in tennis, Opelka achieved a career-high ranking of world No. 17 in singles in February 2022. 

Though he has hit many serves over 140 mph in his career, his serve against Taylor Fritz (one of his opponents in 2015, when Opelka beat Fritz to eventually win the Junior Wimbledon) stood out. In the second round of the 2021 Australian Open, against Fritz, Opelka served at 240.3 km/h (149.3 mph), the second fastest serve in Grand Slam history.

Whilst Dent didn't have quite the same amount of achievement as Roddick, he certainly made it to the fourth round of a few Grand Slams.

The only player in our Top 10 who has confirmed his mobility on Clay is Taylor Dent. He reached a career-high of No. 21 despite a career marred by ailments.

In the first round of the 2010 French Open, the American hit a 240 km/h (149.1 mph) serve that stunned the crowd. This went on to become the quickest serve in the tournament's history and landed him on this list of Top 10 fastest serves in tennis history.

He has, however, always depended primarily on his serve, which has earned him a stellar record.

The Romanian landed the ball perfectly in the quarterfinals of the 2016 European Open, registering a speed of 244 km/h (151.6 mph). Thus, he achieved the 9th position in our list of Top 10 fastest serves in tennis history.

The Wimbledon Championship 2025 was the 138th year of the Championships. There were five main events, four junior events, and seven invitation events. Iga Swiatek became the new Women's Singles Champion of Wimbledon 2025 after beating Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0, in the final. 

Since 2017, Wimbledon saw 8 new Women's Singles Champions. So, let's have a look at the women's Wimbledon Champion list from the last 10 years.

1. 2015 Wimbledon Championships Winner - Serena Williams

Serena Williams beat Spain's Garbine Muguruza to win Wimbledon for the sixth time and complete the 'Serena Slam' as the holder of all four major titles.

The then 33-year-old American won 6-4, 6-4 on Centre Court to claim her 21st Grand Slam title and third of 2015. It's another mark in the history books for the player who many already consider the greatest woman to have ever played the game.

Serena also became the oldest slam champion of the modern era by beating her excellent opponent, 12 years her junior. 

2. 2016 Wimbledon Championships Winner - Serena Williams

Serena Williams had finally won her 22nd Grand Slam title, besting Angelique Kerber in the finals at Wimbledon 2016. The American, 34, coped with a gusty wind on Centre Court to win 7-5, 6-3.

With this, she got her seventh singles title on the grass courts of The Championships, and she had finally tied Steffi Graf for the most major titles in the Open Era.

The Spaniard finished as runner-up to the American's sister, Serena, in this same fixture two years ago, but claimed some redemption after sailing to this year's crown.

4. 2018 Wimbledon Championships Winner - Angelique Kerber

Angelique Kerber beat seven-time champion Serena Williams to win her first Wimbledon title and spoil the American's dream comeback as a mother.

5. 2019 Wimbledon Championships Winner - Simona Halep

Simona Halep has made Wimbledon history by becoming the first Romanian to win the Grand Slam with a 6-2, 6-2 victory over seven-time champion Serena Williams.

She won her first Grand Slam title at last year’s French Open but had gone into her first final here as the clear underdog.

Ashleigh Barty claimed her first Wimbledon title - and second singles Grand Slam crown, beating Karolina Pliskova 6-3 6-7 (7-4) 6-3 in a rollercoaster women's singles final.

Barty, who claimed her first Grand Slam title at Roland Garros two years ago, was the first Australian to lift the Venus Rosewater Dish since her idol Evonne Goolagong Cawley won the second of two Wimbledon titles in 1980.

She was only the third Australian woman to triumph in the Open era, joining Goolagong Cawley (also the 1971 winner) and 1970 champion Margaret Court.

7. 2022 Wimbledon Championships winner - Elena Rybakina

Elena Rybakina became the first player representing Kazakhstan to win a Grand Slam singles championship with a 3-6, 6-2, 6-2 victory against No.3 Ons Jabeur.  After sealing her first championship point with a service winner, Rybakina celebrated the 1-hour, 48-minute win with barely a fist pump.

In the first Wimbledon title match between first-time Grand Slam finalists of the Open Era,  Rybakina, 23, also became the youngest woman to lift the Venus Rosewater Dish since 21-year-old Petra Kvitova in 2011.

She was also the fourth-youngest active major champion on the Hologic WTA Tour, older than only Iga Swiatek, Bianca Andreescu, and Emma Raducanu.

8. 2023 Wimbledon Championships winner - Markéta Vondroušová

Markéta Vondroušová made history as the first unseeded player to win the ladies singles championship at Wimbledon in a stunning 6-4, 6-4 upset over the No. 6 seed Ons Jabeur, who was the runner-up for a second straight year.

The 24-year-old lefty joined two other Czech-born left-handers, Martina Navratilova and Petra Kvitová, to take home the Wimbledon title.

Heading into the Wimbledon final, Krejcikova was a seven-time Major doubles champion, the 2021 French Open singles winner and an Olympic gold medallist. She had even completed the career Slam in doubles, winning each of the four big titles at least once.

10. 2025 Wimbledon Championships winner - Iga Swiatek

Iga Swiatek became the 8th new winner of the Wimbledon Women's Singles since 2017 as she defeated Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 in the Wimbledon 2025 final to become the first-ever Polish singles winner at Wimbledon. 

Swiatek's dominating 6-0, 6-0 win was the first such final scoreline at Wimbledon in 114 years. Moreover, the Polish star became the first woman since Monica Seles in 1992 to achieve the feat of winning all six of her first Grand Slam finals. 

With her maiden Wimbledon title, Swiatek also completed her Surface Slam with titles on Hard (US Open, Australian Open), Clay (French Open) and Grass (Wimbledon) surfaces.
