At the Wimbledon Tennis Open, Merry was eliminated in the first round of the men’s doubles. The 37-year-old Merry, teamed up with his brother, 38-year-old Jimmy Merry, to face the Australian pair of Hijikata Rinki and Pias, and they both held serve in the first set. Merry volleyed at the net and tied “Subdivision” 3-3, but eventually lost 6-8. Merry gave up the men’s singles due to his back injury. He said that this year was the last time he would play in Wimbledon, and although he was unable to continue the journey, he had fought to the end. He broke serve in the early stage of the second set and led 2-0, and the cheers were full of passion. However, the Merry brothers failed to maintain their advantage and lost 4-6 in multiple sets, and were eliminated in the first round. Merry said goodbye with regret, but he was still grateful that he could partner with his brother in the last dance. Former world No. 1 tennis player Meli said: “It is difficult to continue playing. I really want to continue, but I can’t. My physical condition is getting worse and worse, and all the injuries have accumulated and become serious. I want to play tennis forever. Tennis has given me a lot and has taught me a lot over the years. Although I don’t want to stop, it is really difficult. Today my body is a bit overloaded, but I am very grateful to be able to be on the Wimbledon court again and work with my brother.” Meli then thanked those present, including one of his long-time opponents, Jokowi, and the current “No. 1” Sviatti Sviatti.
