American player Robert Galloway can now boast about his impact at the Australian Open.
During his doubles match alongside Uruguayan partner Ariel Behar, Galloway unleashed a powerful 186km/h serve in the first set of their third-round showdown against the British duo of Lloyd Glasspool and Julian Cash.
As the ball crashed into the back wall, it caused a section of the electronic display lining the perimeter to dislodge, leaving a noticeable gap.
