Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard
The serve gets the headlines. At Wimbledon 2025 he set the tournament record at 153mph and hit the fastest second serve ever recorded at 147mph. He backs it up with a one-handed backhand, which makes him one of the strangest players on tour to watch. He's won two titles, reached the Wimbledon fourth round in 2024 and hit a career high of 29 in February 2025. By October 2026 he had dropped to 148, but he was born in 2003, so there's time for the ranking to come back.

Stats verified November 2026 — active players have an inconvenient habit of winning more titles when I'm not looking.
