   # Super fast match (with an involvement of a tie-break) and super fast services of Rusedski [6] who was improving his own record of the fastest serve a few times in the years 1995-98; against Muster [20] he delivered the fastest serve of the 20th Century – 149 mph (239 kph) to lead 6:5, it wasn’t a clear ace though, Muster touched the ball trying to respond off his backhand; a day before Rusedski hit an ace 146 mph (234 kph) vs Enqvist, improving his US Open ’97 record.
