When asked about a potential "all Williams-final" and their playing style, Serena said the following (during a portion of her comment): "I've tied her (Venus')record. We have a tied record for the hardest serve which I am really excited about."

I'm almost positive that I heard that during one of the matches. (I'm thinking it was the semi-final match against Alize Cornet). I will have to go and watch the tapes again.

If so, like you said it was during a qualifying event, which unfortunately, makes it ineligible for the record. Anthony,

Venus' serve is the fastest in the main draw. One female player hit a 131 mph in a qualifier match, so it wasnt documented. So technicallyyy..... Misconception!
