Lexus Guinness World Record Tennis Served at Speed
Two tennis players, Jamie Murray and Laura Robson, strapped to the roofs of SUVs tearing down a runway, hitting a tennis ball back and forth isn’t something you ever expect to see, but this was the stunt Lexus pulled off to get two Guinness World Records.
