Wildcard’s remarkable run to Wimbledon semi-finals has stunned the world and he will need to excel in specific areas to topple the French Open championWith the exception of his first‑round match against Damir Dzumhur, few people gave Arthur Fery much of a chance against any of his opponents en route to the semi-finals of Wimbledon. Certainly most expected him to lose to Grigor Dimitrov in the fourth round and most felt Flavio Cobolli would see him off in the quarters. But the 23-year-old has shown enormous resolve and no little skill to make it to the semi-finals and though Alexander Zverev is a massive step up, anything’s possible. Here are the areas he will need to excel in to reach the Wimbledon final. Continue reading...

Arthur Fery beat Flavio Cobolli in the quarter-finals (Picture: Getty) The 29-year-old had previously struggled at Wimbledon but has dropped just two sets on his route to the semi-finals, thumping big-serving Taylor Fritz in the quarters.‘Prior to that match I would have bet every dollar I have that Flavio Cobolli would beat Arthur Fery in straight sets,’ former Wimbledon semi-finalist and BBC pundit Querrey said on the Nothing Major podcast.‘That’s how confident I was. But I’m blown away by Fery, he really stepped up with the whole crowd behind him. French Open champion Alexander Zverev (Picture: Getty) ‘Fery is less than 6ft tall but the grass helps him because it allows him to get more out of his serve. He’s a really good mover, he’s crafty, he anticipates well.‘I literally did not think he was even going to come close in this match and I was dead wrong. He’s had a great draw in my opinion but you can only beat what’s in front of you and he’s stepped up time and time again.‘It’s a dream run. Zverev is playing great on the grass right now – he’s playing Arthur Fery and he’s going to beat him and be in the final. Former American tennis star Sam Querrey (Picture: Getty) ‘Zverev’s not losing a set against Fery, there’s no way he loses a set here. The dream run has been phenomenal, I’ve loved it, but he can’t win a set I don’t think.’Former Wimbledon champion Pat Cash also expects Zverev to advance and says it would be a ‘choke’ should he fail to reach his first final at the All England Club.‘We saw against Cobolli that Fery was always in the rallies against serve,’ Cash said. ‘But with Zverev he could go two service games without touching the ball.

It’s a complete contrast to what we saw against Cobolli but all the pressure is on Zverev.‘This is his biggest opportunity to reach a Wimbledon final and if he doesn’t take it then he’d be choking.’Fery, meanwhile, said he would follow the same process that has taken him to the semi-finals after an epic win over Cobolli.‘I felt emotions that I’ve never experienced before in my life in that last game,’ he said.‘I don’t know what I’ll do over the next couple of days, I’ve never been in this position before! I guess we will figure it all out as we go.‘I’m just going to keep going. I’ve been doing a great job for the past 10 days, so I’m just going to do the same thing and see where that takes me.’Defending champion Jannik Sinner faces seven-time winner Novak Djokovic in the other Wimbledon semi-final.For more stories like this, check our sport page.Follow Metro Sport for the latest news on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

1 month agoArthur Fery stunned Centre Court to reach the final four (Picture: Getty) Tim Henman hailed Arthur Fery’s ‘extraordinary’ performance as the British wildcard continued his Wimbledon fairy tale with a convincing quarter-final win over Flavio Cobolli. Fery punched his ticket into the final four with a brilliant and clinical performance against French Open finalist Cobolli, storming to a 6-4 7-6 (4) 6-0 victory in front of a rapturous Centre Court. The Brit, who was ranked 114th in the world before this tournament, has now become just the fourth home player in the open era to make the last four at Wimbledon after Andy Murray, Tim Henman, Roger Taylor and Cameron Norrie. Reacting to Fery’s dominant win, Henman said on BBC commentary: ‘A quite extraordinary performance. ‘To come out in your Grand Slam quarter-final at home on Centre Court and win in straight sets and win the third set 6-0 against a Grand Slam finalist is absolutely brilliant.’ After a nip-and-tuck first set, it was Cobolli who blinked first, sending a forehand wide on set point as Fery broke to win the opening set. Fery had won just two tour-level matches prior to this year’s grass-court season, but the 23-year-old only appeared to grow in confidence as this match went on, showing superb, scampering defence when needed but also a willingness to take the ball early and force Cobolli back. Arthur Fery dominated French Open finalist Flavio Cobolli (Picture: Getty) Even after he was broken early in the second set, Fery broke back almost immediately to level at 2-2 before opening up a two-set lead with victory in a tie-break. And from there, the Brit stormed to the finish line, showing superb ball-striking and confidence to take the final set 6-0 in just under 40 minutes. ‘What I’ve watched and been so impressed with is firstly the courage and the belief,’ Henman later added Fans on Henman Hill celebrated Fery’s win (Picture: Getty) ‘When you go out on Centre Court for the first time as a British player and you’ve got the hope and expectations of a lot of people on your shoulders, you can go out there hoping and wanting it to happen, but you have to make it happen and that’s exactly what Fery has done first against Dimitrov and against Cobolli who is a world class performer. ‘The first two sets were so tight, such quality and then just to run away with things in the third set, it was absolutely sensational, and it will only enhance his inner belief that he can keep winning in this tournament.’ Fery now faces a huge semi-final against second seed Alexander Zverev after the French Open champion stormed to victory over Taylor Fritz. ‘I don’t know what I’ll do over the next couple of days, I’ve never been in this position before!’ he joked in his on-court interview after his win. ‘I guess it will be the first time and we will figure it all out as we go. ‘I’m just going to keep going, I’ve been doing a great job for the past 10 days, so I’m just going to do the same thing and see where that takes me.’ For more stories like this, check our sport page.
