Bio	She is a former Dutch tennis player. Primarily known by her maiden name Brenda Schultz, she married Sean McCarthy, a former American football player at University of Cincinnati, on 8 April 1995 and took his name. Schultz is known for her fast serve; she has the eighth-fastest serve ever recorded by a female tennis player. Schultz' career high was in 1996 when she reached World No. 9. She reached the quarterfinals at Wimbledon and the US Open in 1995. Schultz-McCarthy was the highest ranked Dutch tennis player for more than ten years. Schultz was in the media spotlight mainly because of her hard serve, which was the hardest in the women's circuit at the time. In the period 1990-1997 she hit the hardest service in the circuit every year. She retired from tennis in 1999 with longstanding injuries. She came out of retirement in 2005, playing Fed Cup and WTA tournaments in 2006. After her comeback she turned out to be still able to serve very hard. The best result of her comeback came in June 2006 at the Tier III Ordina Open in the Netherlands, reaching the quarterfinals with wins over two players ranked in the top 70 on the WTA Tour. In July 2006, Schultz-McCarthy claimed her place as the fastest server in WTA history, recording a 130 mph (209.2 km/h) serve in the first round of the Western & Southern Financial Group Women's Open qualifying tournament, held in Cincinnati, Ohio. Venus Williams previously held the women's record set in 1998 of 127 mph (204 km/h) in a match in a quarter-finals win against Mary Pierce in Zurich. Williams would tie the record in 2008. In June 2007, Schultz-McCarthy won an ITF tournament in Surbiton. In 2014 she was surpassed by Sabine Lisicki with 210.8 km/h.
