Video - 209 km/h: Venus Williams' Forgored Cannon Shot in Tokyo 2013
In Tokyo, 2013, Venus Williams entered the legend with a 209 km/h strike, shattering women's tennis standards. In the quarterfinals against Eugenie Bouchard, the American wrote a page of history... without even celebrating.
On September 26, 2013, at the WTA Tokyo tournament, Venus Williams achieved what few had even dared to imagine: a 209 km/h serve. That day, she didn't even raise her arms. No shout. No celebration. True to her career: power, humility, and consistency.
Today, Venus, 45 years old, continues to play occasionally, pushing back the limits of time. She inspires a generation that wasn't even born when this record was set.
