Wimbledon 2026: British wildcard Arthur Fery sets up semifinal clash with Alexander Zverev
- Hometown hero Arthur Fery has become just the second wildcard ever to reach the semifinals at Wimbledon after downing Italy's Flavio Cobolli.
- The 23-year-old, who grew up just five minutes away from the All England Club, was again a picture of incredulity after he completely outplayed ninth seed Cobolli 6-4, 7-6 (4), 6-0 in front of an ecstatic Centre Court crowd overnight.
- It's a quarter of a century since Goran Ivanišević became the first wildcard to win the men's singles title and Fery, ranked 114, is now just two wins away from matching the Croat's historic 2001 achievement.
