Lexus Tennis titans Jamie Murray and Laura Robson have served up an unbeatable display, smashing two GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS titles with an epic stunt that pushes the boundaries of sports, with luxury car brand, Lexus.
In a never-before-attempted feat, the seven-time major doubles champion and Davis Cup winner, Jamie Murray and Junior Wimbledon winner and Olympic medallist Laura Robson, swapped from court to car as they stood atop two moving Lexus NX cars and completed a rally of 101 consecutive shots, while travelling side-by-side at speeds of up to 29mph.
Engineered for performance and precision, the Lexus NX became the latest court for the stars to play on. To make the stunt happen, two robust aluminium platforms were bolted through the vehicles’ roof rack fixing points and rigorously load-tested. Additional safety straps were used to secure the platforms, and comprehensive testing and rides by stunt personnel were conducted to a meticulous standard. Professional stunt drivers were behind the wheel of the Lexus NX vehicles as they drove down the runway of Duxford Airfield.
The meticulously planned stunt was brought to life by stunt co-ordinator Marc Cass, whose impressive portfolio includes blockbusters in the Harry Potter, James Bond and Star Wars franchises, alongside The Agency and Top Boy.
Commenting on their record-breaking feat, Jamie Murray and Laura Robson said: “To achieve something that’s never been attempted before and also be awarded with two GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS titles is a thrill we’ll never forget, and the most exciting and unusual challenge I’ve ever taken on.
“Tennis is a sport that requires precision, skill and co-ordination, so playing a rally on top of moving cars travelling at speed is no mean feat! Setting this record together to celebrate the tennis season with Lexus and Sky has been a surreal experience, and something that has seen the key components of the sport we love come together in a new way.”
The stunt comes as Lexus continues another year of thrilling competition in 2025 as Platinum Partner and Official Automotive Partner of the ATP Tour and Official Automotive Partner of the LTA, alongside its partnership with Sky Tennis. Lexus is a sponsor of 12 ATP tournaments across Europe in the 2025 season including the prestigious ATP 1000 Rolex Paris Masters in October and the Nitto ATP Finals.
Chris Hayes, Director of Lexus in the UK, said: “At Lexus, precision, performance and creativity go into everything we do and we’re always looking for bold and innovative ways to push boundaries beyond the traditional automotive sphere.
Having our cars used in these GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS titles with two British tennis legends is a fantastic achievement to celebrate our partnership with Sky Tennis and our ongoing involvement in the sport. It’s been a fantastic tennis season so far, and the best is yet to come.”
