Alexander Zverev reaches his second straight Grand Slam final at Wimbledon by beating British wildcard Arthur Fery in the semifinals on Centre Court. Multiple reports say Zverev, the tournament’s second seed, ends what is described as a surprising “fairytale” run from Fery, who had advanced as a wild card. The semifinal match is reported as a straight-sets victory for Zverev, with the score given as 7-6 (7/0), 6-2, 6-4. Zverev’s win sets up a final on Sunday against reigning champion Jannik Sinner, who is also described as awaiting him after winning his match earlier. One outlet also notes the possibility that the opponent could be Novak Djokovic depending on the outcome of the other semifinal, but the other sources specify Sinner as the finalist. Zverev is also described as recently winning his first Grand Slam title at the French Open and now aiming for another major trophy at Wimbledon. Reports highlight the atmosphere in the stadium, including strong support for Fery, but the result remains Zverev progressing to his Wimbledon final.
