      <title>Pakistani tennis player sets world record</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330407068/pakistani-tennis-player-sets-world-record</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pakistan’s senior tennis player, Talha Waheed, has made history by securing a place in the Guinness World Records.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to Guinness World Records, Waheed set a new global benchmark by executing 59 successful tennis serves in one minute, surpassing the previous record of 42 serves set by American player John Perry in 2019.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This achievement makes him the first Pakistani to hold this world record.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Waheed has also competed internationally in ITF tournaments and achieved a career-high ranking of 144 in the 40+ doubles category.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Over the years, he has won multiple national titles in the 35+, 40+, and 45+ doubles categories, proudly representing Pakistan on the global stage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Inspired by John Perry’s 2019 record, Waheed committed himself to breaking the milestone.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He underwent three months of rigorous training, refining every technical aspect of his game.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On November 8, 2024, in Lahore, he officially attempted the record under Guinness World Records’ guidelines.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His dedication paid off when, on March 10, 2025, Guinness officially recognized his achievement, declaring him a world record holder.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pakistani tennis officials have lauded Waheed’s accomplishment, calling it a significant milestone for the sport in the country.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;President of the Pakistan Tennis Federation (PTF) Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi, Secretary General Col Ziauddin Tufail, and fellow players congratulated him on this historic feat.&lt;/p&gt;
