10 notable facts and stats about Wimbledon

4. Fastest serves at Wimbledon

Taylor Dent

Tennis is a game of aggression and tough competition. It is also a game where the starting stroke - the serve - is of tremendous importance.

Wimbledon has witnessed some of the fastest serves in recent times.

In 2010, Taylor Dent hammered his way into the record books by blasting a laser-like 148mph serve against Djokovic.

In the women's category, Venus Williams served at a speed of 129mph which is still the best by any woman player at the tournament.

5. Most aces

The ace is the single most eye-catching way to win a point; tennis would be no fun if there weren't any aces.

At the 2001 Wimbledon, Goran Ivanišević made it to the tournament via a wildcard after a surgery. Throughout the tournament, Ivanisevic hammered as many as 212 aces, which was then a record.

Most aces by players

But John Isner broke that record in 2018, by sending down 214 aces.

In the women's category, Serena Williams hit 102 aces during the 2012 Wimbledon tournament.
