Andy Roddick's Unstoppable Serve
There was lots of contention as to whether this Andy Roddick video was real or fake as this footage was used for the Powerade Isotic drink commercial. Roddick has the record for having one of the world's fastest tennis serves.
In 2004, Roddick produced the fastest serves in professional tennis: 246.2 km/h (153.5 mph) during a quarterfinal match with Thailand's Paradorn Srichaphan at the Queen's Club grass-court tournament. On August 31 of that year, Roddick had the fastest serve in U.S. Open history: 244 km/h (152 mph) against American Scoville Jenkins. But this footage is clearly authentic, as it showed the entire slow motion footage of how the ball got embedded into the clay court due to the sheer power of the Roddick serve.
