First set: Federer 0-1 Groth* (*denotes server) Groth opens the match on serve, and what a serve it is. At an ATP challenger event in Busan three years ago, he hit the fastest delivery on record, a 163mph howitzer that must have had all present running for cover. A few on Centre Court will be contemplating a similar move after this game, too, which he holds to love with a 142mph ace. Watch out, Roger: he’s still loosening up.
Regardless of what happens on Centre Court this afternoon, Groth will look back on Wimbledon 2015 with fondness.
