A medical professional with 25 years of experience, Dr. Jonathan Vrban now focuses his work on real estate opportunities in and around Las Vegas, Nevada. Away from work, Dr. Jonathan (Jon) Vrban enjoys leading a physically active lifestyle, with favorite sports including water polo, weightlifting, and tennis. The world record for fastest tennis serve belongs to Australian Samuel Groth, who delivered a 163.7-mile-per-hour bomb to opponent Uladzimir Ignatik of Belarus at a challenger event in Busan, South Korea, in 2012. However, Groth’s serve, much like Albano Olivetti’s 160-mile-per-hour serve at the 2012 Internazionali Trofeo Lame Perrel-Faip, did not take place at an official Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) event. American John Isner, one of the tour’s most prolific big servers, holds the record for the fastest service speed at an officially recognized event. The 6’10” Isner delivered a 157.2-mile-per-hour serve during Davis Cup competition in 2016, narrowly edging out Ivo Karolovic’s 156-mile-per-hour record set at the Davis Cup in 2011. Karlovic and Isner have, unsurprisingly, led the ATP in aces for much of the last decade, with 12,936 and 10,937 career aces, respectively.
