Taylor Fritz wins!
Fritz 6-7, 6-7, 6-4, 7-6, 6-4 Perricard
Wow! Who saw that coming (not me)!
Perricard double faults to start the game, loses a lengthy point and then goes wild on his forehand… twice!
Fritz breaks to love to win the match, coming from two sets to love down to progress to round two!

Fritz one game away from win
Fritz 6-7, 6-7, 6-4, 7-6, 5-4 Perricard*
It’s on serve, but the American fifth seed is now just a game away.
That being said, Perricard has been so destructive on serve…

Krejcikova survives Eala challenge to reach second round
Krejcikova 3-6, 6-2, 6-1 Eala
Defending women’s champ Barbora Krejcikova gets it done in the end!
She battles from a set down to overcome the spirited Alexandra Eala.
Krejcikova entered this tournament on the back of an injury scare, but that win might have eased her nerves a bit.

Perricard holds
*Fritz 6-7, 6-7, 6-4, 7-6, 3-3 Perricard
A 147mph ace. A 143mph ace. Fritz can’t get a look in on the Perricard serve!
Shall we just skip to the tiebreak, perhaps?

Fritz holds
Fritz 6-7, 6-7, 6-4, 7-6, 3-2 Perricard*
From 40-0, Perricard battles back to deuce but Fritz – to his credit – holds his own serve under pressure.
But my word, the Frenchman’s shots are enormous! To conclude the game, he thumps a forehand long – a shot which must’ve clocked 110mph!

Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard hits fastest serve in Wimbledon history – but still loses the point
If you didn’t believe me….
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.
Astonishingly, the serve down the middle was returned exquisitely in play by fifth seed Fritz, who then won the point.
