Venus Williams hit the fastest recorded serve in women’s tour history at the French Open on Wednesday, reaching 206 kph (128.8 mph).

That broke the mark of 204 kph (127 mph), set by her sister Serena at the Cincinnati hard-court tournament last year.

Serving at 4-1, 30-love in the second set of her second-round match against Ashley Harkleroad, Williams smacked the record-breaking shot. Harkleroad actually got her racket on the ball, making it a service winner rather than an ace.
