The anatomy of a record Wimbledon serve
Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard may have left the Wimbledon field for another year, but his record-breaking 246km/h serve will be remembered – not least by American Taylor Fritz who was on the receiving end. Fritz somehow managed to return the missile – the fastest in tournament history – to win the point in Tuesday's match, and Mpetshi Perricard was ultimately beaten 6-7(6-8), 6-7(8-10), 6-4, 7-6 (8-6), 6-4 to exit in the first round. But the shot will stick in the minds of fans around the globe who have marvelled at the speed, accuracy and agility of tennis greats on display at Wimbledon. In a clear sign of just how the art of the serve has captivated fans around the world, an Instagram post of world No.1 Jannik Sinner appearing to serve a ball on to a match stick, lighting it in the process, has garnered more than 475,000 likes. Much of Tuesday's post-match focus was on Mpetshi Perricard's reputation for hitting huge serves, which the 21-year-old told reporters came naturally. 'I didn't check the speed, to be honest... I lost the point,' the six-foot-eight Frenchman said. 'I'm not doing some special technique to have a big serve or a fast serve. I'm serving like I'm supposed to do.' But what actually goes into a great serve? We spoke to professional tennis coach Marc Sophoulis, from the Melbourne International Tennis School, to find out. 'The big thing with Mpetshi Perricard's serve [is that] he has a step-up serve, gaining a lot of momentum from his back foot moving up to his front foot before he serves,' Sophoulis, who has worked with Anastasia and Arina Rodionova, Victor Hanescu, and the Bryan brothers, observes.

Teen pilot detained in Antarctica while attempting solo flight to seven continents
A teenage pilot, who is attempting to fly all seven continents solo, hit a patch of rough air this weekend when Chilean authorities detained him for changing his flight plan without their permission and landing in Antarctica. Chilean prosecutors say American influencer Ethan Guo, 19, broke 'multiple national and international regulations' by changing his flight plans without prior notice, landing on a part of Antarctica where the South American country maintains a territorial claim. Guo's lawyer said on Sunday the young pilot had experienced 'complications' while flying. Guo, whose website states he is trying to raise $1 million for cancer research by becoming 'the first person ever to fly to all seven continents solo', has broadcast his continent-hopping journey since last September to more than a million Instagram followers. His last post, on June 23, documents a flight over the Philippines. Chilean authorities say that on Saturday, Guo submitted a false flight plan and took off from Carlos Ibáñez del Campo Airport in the southern Chilean city of Punta Arenas as the sole passenger and crew member aboard a Cessna 182Q aircraft, registered as N182WT. At one point during that flight, authorities say he turned off course toward Antarctica. 'The accused provided false information to the aeronautical authority,' Regional Prosecutor of Magallanes and Chilean Antarctica Cristian Crisosto Rifo said. 'He submitted a flight plan indicating that he was going to fly over the city of Punta Arenas. 'However, he continued toward Antarctica without informing anyone and without any authorisation, landing at the airfield of Lieutenant Rodolfo Marsh Base in Chilean Antarctic territory. 'With this behaviour, the accused seriously endangered the safety of air traffic to Antarctica and the Magallanes region.' As soon as Guo landed in Antarctica, he was detained and formally charged. 'The accused not only violated the Aeronautical Code but also multiple national and international regulations regarding routes to Antarctica and access to the white continent,' Crisosto said. On Sunday, Guo's lawyer told reporters at a press conference after the teen was charged that he experienced 'complications' while flying. 'While already in the air, he began to experience a series of complications,' Karina Ulloa said, adding that Guo claims 'that he was conducting an exploratory flight to see if he could follow this route or not'. Further comment from Ulloa has been requested. The Magallanes and Chilean Antarctic Prosecutor's Office determined on Sunday that the teen must remain in the Chilean sector of the frozen continent until authorities give him permission to return to the city of Punta Arenas. The Chilean court decreed a 90-day investigation period for this case, during which time Guo must remain in Chile.
