John Isner holds the ATP's (Association of Tennis Professionals) official record for the fastest serve at 253 km/h. Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of a tennis ball with the standard weight of 58.8 grams.  Give your answer in 10-34 m (for example, if your answer is 5.6x10-34  m, then enter 5.6). This should give you a good idea of why one cannot expect to observe interference affects using tennis balls rather then, for example, electrons.
