British wildcard Fery beats Cobolli to reach Wimbldedon semis
Arthur Fery became the first Wimbledon wildcard to reach the men’s semifinals since 2001 and will face Alexander Zverev next.
- On Wednesday, unseeded British wildcard Arthur Fery reached the Wimbledon semifinals, defeating ninth-seeded Italian Flavio Cobolli 6-4, 7-6, 6-0 on Centre Court before Queen Camilla in the Royal Box.
- Ranked 114th, Fery became the third player outside the ATP's Top 100 to reach the Wimbledon semifinals over the past 40 years, marking the first time an unseeded British player has achieved this in the Open era.
- Fans serenaded the home favorite with chants of "Here comes the Fery" as his father, Loic, watched from the stands near the All England Club where Fery grew up.
- Alexander Zverev, who defeated American Taylor Fritz in straight sets, will face Fery on Friday, though the Centre Court crowd booed when the broadcaster announced Zverev as the semifinal opponent.
- Historically, only three other men's wild cards have reached major semifinals in the Open era: Jimmy Connors in 1991, Henri Leconte in 1992, and Goran Ivanisevic in 2001, while Fery has played 25 sets this tournament.
