He has set a new world record for making the most successful tennis serves in one minute, which is a historic moment for Pakistan.

Talha Waheed is one of the country’s prominent senior tennis players. He has won several national titles in the 35+, 40+ and 45+ doubles categories, while also representing Pakistan at the international level.
He has participated in the International Tennis Federation’s Senior World Ranking tournaments and his best world ranking was 144 in the 40+ doubles category.

To achieve this goal, Talha Waheed trained hard for three months and worked on every technical aspect. On November 8, 2024, he attempted to set his official record in accordance with the rules set by Guinness World Records in Lahore.
The result of his hard work and determination came on March 10, 2025, when Guinness World Records officially recognized his new record and declared him the world record holder.
