Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard made history at Wimbledon by recording the fastest serve ever at the tournament, clocking in at 153 mph during a first-round match against American Taylor Fritz. This achievement breaks the prior record of 148 mph, held by Taylor Dent since 2010. Perricard's remarkable height of 6-foot-8 contributes to his power serve, and he also hit another serve at 151 mph. The incident in 2024 involving Ben Shelton’s initially recorded 153 mph serve being corrected to 132 mph highlights the significance of serve tracking at Wimbledon since 1991.
Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard's 153 mph serve at Wimbledon sets a new record, surpassing Taylor Dent's previous mark of 148 mph from 2010.
The 6-foot-8 Frenchman not only achieved the fastest serve in Wimbledon history but also hit another impressive serve at 151 mph during the same match.
