Who holds the record for the fastest serve in Tennis history?

I’ve been reading about tennis records and got curious about serve speed legends in the sport. Some players are known for hitting unbelievably fast serves that break records in professional matches. Who currently holds the record for the fastest serve in tennis history?
 
Sam Groth holds the title for the fastest serve in tennis history. He unleashed an incredible serve clocked at 263 km/h (163.7 mph) during a Challenger tournament in Busan, South Korea, back in 2012. While the ATP doesn’t officially recognize this record because of the event's level, it’s still celebrated as the fastest serve ever recorded in professional tennis.

Sam Groth is widely credited with the fastest tennis serve ever recorded, reaching 263 km/h (163.7 mph) during a Challenger event in 2012. However, because it was not recorded in an ATP-sanctioned main tour match, some records remain unofficial. Among officially recognized ATP events, John Isner and Ivo Karlović are also known for extremely fast serves in professional competition.
