Frances Tiafoe had an incredible run at the Vienna tournament in 2021. Coming through the qualifying rounds, the American had to win 6 matches to reach the final and face Alexander Zverev.

Despite a loss to the German with a score of 7-5, 6-4, Tiafoe hit a magnificent forehand passing shot during the 6th game.

While Zverev was coming to the net, the American played a down-the-line forehand passing shot clocked at 140 km/h that left Sascha completely helpless.

That's fast, but quite a few players have hit forehands in excess of 160 km/hr (100mph).
