Taylor Fritz has managed to deal with his opponent’s 153 mph serve — it was the fastest in Wimbledon history, but Fritz won the point — and an overnight suspension before the fifth set to finish off a 6-7 (6),

Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard broke the record for the fastest serve in Grand Slam history on Monday night as he clocked a 153mph rocket against Taylor Fritz. The 21-year-old Frenchman, who stands at 6’8”, launched the massive serve in the first game of the first-round match on Court 1.

Mpetshi Perricard fired a 153 mph (246 km/h) bullet in the first set of the match, which was ultimately suspended at two sets apiece late in the evening.
