Groth recorded fastest serve at 263kph

Sam Groth hit the fastest recorded serve in professional tennis, a 263kph ace in a Challenger event in South Korea.

Groth, ranked 340th, produced the serve in a second-round match against Uladzimir Ignatik in Busan.

While the ATP does not officially recognize serving speed records because of the variance in radar guns it confirmed "the event was using approved equipment, and that other data gathered appeared within a normal range."

Groth (@samuelgroth on Twitter), tweeted after the match: 'Lost 4&3 average! Did hit a 263kmh serve though in for an ace.'

Koellerer banned for life for tennis match-fixing

Daniel Koellerer has lost his appeal against a life ban for match-fixing at sport’s highest court.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport dismissed his challenge to a ban imposed by the Tennis Integrity Unit.

However, the court decided Koellerer should not pay a $100,000 fine previously ordered.

Koellerer was the first player banned for life for attempted corruption after being found guilty of violations from October 2009 to July 2010.

The court said Koellerer “made invitations to other tennis players to fix matches on five occasions.”

Djokovic breezes through at Indian Wells

Novak Djokovic scored a 6-3 6-2 victory over Andrey Golubev to advance to the third round at Indian Wells.

Nole broke his opponent’s serve twice in each set to triumph in one hour 20 minutes.

“It was a good start,” Djokovic said. “We didn’t play a beautiful match and there were a lot of unforced errors but look, it’s the opening match of the tournament for me and I am getting used to the conditions and the court.

“Hopefully the next match will be better,” added the Serb, who won his fifth grand slam crown at the Australian Open in January.
