LONDON (Reuters) - Fifth seed Juan Martin Del Potro thumped down 22 aces to blow away the Wimbledon first-round challenge of Germany's Peter Gojowczyk on Tuesday and said his serve was the key to playing better on grass.

The Argentine, nearly two metres tall, appears often to be playing on a miniature court such is his reach and stride.
