Wimbledon Tennis Player Perricard Sets Aces Record

Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, a 20-year-old French tennis player, fell short of breaking John Isner's Wimbledon record for aces despite a strong start, finishing with 115 aces. The tournament also saw a high number of player withdrawals due to injuries, including Anna Kalinskaya, Grigor Dimitrov, and Madison Keys. Lulu Sun, a 23-year-old rising star from New Zealand, made history by reaching the Wimbledon quarterfinals as a women's qualifier, amidst surprises like the early exits of top seeds. Mpetshi Perricard's powerful serves, reaching speeds up to 140mph, have been a highlight, with fellow Frenchman Arthur Fils being the only one to consistently return them. Wimbledon also featured interesting statistics like the sale of 341,000 glasses of Pimm’s to 532,000 visitors last year.
