News summary

The 2025 Wimbledon Championships have seen a record number of seeded players eliminated in the first round, including top names like men's third seed Alexander Zverev and women's second seed Coco Gauff, making the tournament highly unpredictable. In a notable match, Frenchman Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard broke the Wimbledon serve speed record twice in one match against fifth seed Taylor Fritz, with serves reaching up to 156 mph, showcasing his exceptional serving ability despite a high number of double faults. The match was paused at two sets apiece due to the tournament's curfew, leaving the outcome pending. Meanwhile, tennis legend Roger Federer has become the first billionaire in tennis history, with an estimated net worth of $1.3 billion, achieved through his illustrious career, endorsements, and savvy investments, including a significant stake in the Swiss athletic brand On. Federer's status as a billionaire coincides with the start of Wimbledon 2025, where his legacy as an eight-time Wimbledon champion continues to be celebrated. These developments highlight both the emergence of new talent and the lasting impact of tennis greats on and off the court.
