In an impressive display of skill and precision, Talha Waheed from Pakistan has set a new world benchmark by breaking the record for the most tennis serves executed in just one minute. This achievement was confirmed by Guinness World Records on Wednesday, further cementing Waheed’s place in the spotlight.
Smashing the previous record held by American John Perry since 2019, Waheed delivered an astounding 59 successful serves in a single attempt back in November. His achievement has just been officially recognized, much to the excitement of the tennis community.
Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi, the president of the Pakistan Tennis Federation, was quick to acknowledge how Waheed’s extraordinary feat can serve as a powerful source of motivation for younger athletes in the country. “This is exactly the boost Pakistani tennis needs,” Qureshi remarked, highlighting the potential impact of such inspiration.
Since its inception in 1955, following a spirited debate about Europe’s fastest game bird, the Guinness World Records has been the go-to authority for documenting and celebrating incredible and often unusual accomplishments globally. Waheed’s record-breaking performance is a notable addition to this fascinating archive of human achievement.
