Sergei Sergeevich Bubka (; born 10 February 1987) is a Ukrainian former professional tennis player.
Biography Bubka is the son of pole vaulter Sergey Bubka. The younger Bubka was a member of the Ukraine Davis Cup team and was coached by Tibor Toth, who is also the former coach of Sergiy Stakhovsky.
Sergei's biggest success in his career was beating the 5th-seeded Ivan Ljubičić in the first round of the 2011 Dubai Tennis Championships. He also hit a 157 MPH serve during qualifying for the 2011 US Open, which would have tied for the fastest ever recorded had the serve not been out.
