Arthur Fery continues fairytale Wimbledon run by storming into semi-finals

Arthur Fery plays second seed Alexander Zverev for a place in the Wimbledon final against either Jannik Sinner or Novak Djokovic as the homegrown British wildcard bids to extend his extraordinary run at the Championships .

Fery is the second wildcard in Wimbledon history to reach the semi-finals, following the 2001 champion Goran Ivanisevic , and the 23-year-old is only the fifth British man to make it though to the semi-finals in the open era.

Starting Wimbledon ranked 114th in the world , Fery’s unexpected breakthrough has captured the attention of the country . He will now face another step up against Zverev, who ended his long wait for a first grand slam title at last month’s French Open, in a match where the start time has been changed to avoid a potential clash with the Spain v Belgium World Cup quarter-final being shown on the BBC this evening.

Later, Djokovic continues his epic quest to win a record 25th grand slam title at the age of 39 as he faces defending Wimbledon champion and world No 1 Sinner in another blockbuster semi-final.

Djokovic won the longest match of his Wimbledon career on Tuesday , beating the third seed Felix Auger-Aliassime in a match tiebreak and after an astonishing five hours and 15 minutes.

Djokovic lost to Sinner in straight sets in last year’s semi-finals, but Djokovic beat Sinner in their last meeting at the Australian Open in January, producing one of the greatest performances of this stage of his career to end Sinner’s dominant winning streak in five sets.

*Arthur Fery 2-3 Alexander Zverev

His Wimbledon campaign has been littered with comebacks and he’ll need all the energy and fortitude he’s shown so far.

Fery is flying around the court now. Zverev sends him really wide with a volley but he slides up to the ball and flicks it back on an acute angle whcih the German can’t counter.

Zverev goes long and Fery pulls the break back. Incredible.

You can see Alexander Zverev playing with his shoulders back

Arthur Fery rates his backhand above his forehand, and the same can be said of Alexander Zverev, who finds a lot of safety in the two-hander crosscourt.

But this is also a relaxed version of Zverev, after ending his long wait for a grand slam title at last month’s French Open. He is stepping in and taking on his shots

Fery’s run to the Wimbledon semi-final has been exceptional but he is up against it today. Alexander Zverev is the No.2 and the French Open champion.

He goes 15-30 down on his own serve and the crowd raise their level of encouragement.

Zverev blasts a forehand down the line and sets up two breaks points...

... He needs one. Fery finds the net with a backhand and the German breaks the Brit!

Arthur Fery backs himself as a 'good returner'

In the fourth round, Grigor Dimitrov won his first 16 points on serve against Arthur Fery. You don’t get a bigger server on tour than Alexander Zverev, who gets up to 138mph inside the first game. There’s encouragement for Fery as he gets to deuce here, drawing some nervy errors from the German. He is stepping up to the baseline to take the serve on.

*Arthur Fery 0-1 Alexander Zverev

A quick exchange of points and Fery is level in this opening game. He’s done well in rallies once the return of serve gets over the net.

One of Zverev’s main attributes is his pacey and bouncey serve though. He fires down and ace to move to advantage but Fery drags him back to deuce.

Can the Brit break serve in this opening game?

No. Two strong serves from Zverev close out a hold but Fery will take some confidence out of that game.

Fery gets a forehand return back and is worked over to the left side of court. He stretches and knocks over a low backhand which brings Zverev up to the net and his shot lands in the fabric.

Centre Court praise the Brit and they cheer again after a double fault from the German!
