(VIDEO) Showstopper from Shelton, slams in 147mph serve in latest US Open win

America’s young tennis star Bel Shelton produced the fastest serve of the US Open 2023.

The fourth and final Grand Slam is moving towards the business end where players from all over the world are battling it out to secure the ultimate glory.

Shelton continued his winning run in the mega-event and cemented his spot in the fourth round after beating Russia’s Aslan Karatsev in the round of 32 clash with a score of 6-4, 3-6, 6-2, 6-0 on Friday.

During the third set of the match, the Atlanta-born produced the fastest service of the competition at 147mph, much to the delight of the fans.

The result was a special one as it put Shelton just one win away from equaling his best record at any Grand Slam.

The young tennis sensation has only played in the quarterfinal of a mega-event once which was in the Australian Open earlier this year.

However, he ended on the losing side in that fixture against fellow American Tommy Paul with a score of 7-6, 6-3, 5-7, 6-4.

Shelton will now face the same opponent — Paul — in the round of 16 clash of the US Open on Sunday.
