Venus Williams hits fastest serve by a woman in a main-draw match. Yahoo! Sports. 30 May 2007. "Venus Williams hit the fastest recorded serve in a women's tour main-draw match, reaching 128 mph at the French Open on Wednesday. Brenda Schultz-McCarthy hit a serve at 130 mph during qualifying for the Cincinnati tournament last year, and the WTA said Wednesday it considers that to be the fastest serve in women's tennis history…. Williams noticed the readout of 206 kph — which translates to 128 mph — on the court's radar meter and let out a laugh, cracking her concentration." 58.1 m/s
