Wildcard Arthur Fery Shocks Wimbledon | London News

Arthur Fery, a British wildcard ranked 114th, stunned the tennis world by reaching Wimbledon’s semi-finals — the first male wildcard to do so in 25 years — after a straight-sets demolition of top-10 star Flavio Cobolli. Overcoming a near-500th ranking just 18 months ago and battling a serious arm injury, Fery’s emotional, crowd-pleasing run has him poised to become Britain’s new No. 1 and leap to world No. 36. He’s now just one match away from history — the fifth British man in Open Era to reach the semi-finals, and the lowest-ranked Wimbledon finalist since Goran Ivanisevic’s 2001 triumph. Facing world No. 2 Alexander Zverev, Fery’s composure under pressure — even amid nerves — speaks to his resilience. A Stanford grad and son of a pro, his journey from doubt to destiny on Centre Court is nothing short of inspirational.
