Arthur Fery's Wimbledon run ended by Alexander Zverev in semi-finals

Arthur Fery's Wimbledon journey ends in semi‑final loss to Alexander Zverev Arthur Fery’s remarkable Wimbledon run came to an end in the semi‑finals when second‑seed Alexander Zverev prevailed 7‑6 (7‑0), 6‑2, 6‑4 on Centre Court. Entering the tournament as a wildcard ranked No. 114, Fery had never advanced past the second round of a Grand Slam before this week. He defied expectations by reaching the last four, becoming the first British man to do so since 2016. After the match, Zverev shared a brief handshake at the net with Fery, and the crowd rose to applaud the Briton’s fighting spirit. Fery, who turns 24 in two days, will be confirmed as Britain’s new No. 1 and is projected to climb to No. 36 in the ATP rankings on Monday. His performance also earns him £900,000 in prize money. Zverev, meanwhile, advances to his maiden Wimbledon final, where he will meet either defending champion Jannik Sinner or seven‑time titlist Novak Djokovic on Sunday. The victory adds to his momentum after capturing the French Open title last month, giving him a chance to secure a second Grand Slam singles trophy.
