The basic technology used, is the Doppler Effect.
Basically it measures the change in the frequency of the wave for any object moving relative to the source.
Sometimes during the US Open, you can see some person caryying a small antenna like instrument and wearing a big earphone (especially when the player is serving, you can see him at the far corner).

∙ 15y agoDuring Wimbledon, two specially designed radar sensors are positioned behind the baseline at either end of the centre court, as well as the number one, two, three, 13 and 18 courts. Once a player strikes the ball, the radar guns detect its speed. The information is flashed up on the court-side screens. Details are also automatically recorded on IBM's central tournament database.

Because the championships are held in Britain where we use miles per hour instead.

The fastest serve ever recorded at the Wimbledon Championships was 148 mph, achieved by Taylor Dent in 2010.
To measure the speed of a wave, you multiply the frequency by the wavelength.
Roemer was the first to measure the speed of light.
The tennins, Wimbledon common, Shopps and the wimbledon windmill on the Wimbledon Common
Speed is the measure of distance over time.
Speed. Kilometre measure distance, and hour is a measure of time. Distance / Time = Speed.
