One of the most unlikely semi-finals in Wimbledon history takes place on Centre Court this evening, with British wildcard Arthur Fery taking on second seed Alexander Zverev for a place in Sunday’s final. If Fery wins, it would be one of the greatest upsets in the history of the Championships.
Fery has been the feel good story of the entire fortnight.
Ranked 114th in the world and granted entry to the main draw only on a wildcard, the 23 year old former Stanford University student had won just two Grand Slam main draw matches in his career before this tournament.
He has now won five in a row, dispatching Flavio Cobolli 6-4 7-6(4) 6-0 in the quarter-finals in a performance that included a ruthless bagel in the third set after he had broken the Italian’s spirit in the second-set tiebreak.
Fery has emulated Goran Ivanisevic as the only wildcard in Wimbledon history to reach the semi finals, and Ivanisevic’s run in 2001 ended with him lifting the trophy.
The Centre Court crowd will be deafening for this one, and Fery has shown throughout the week that he feeds off the home support rather than being overwhelmed by it.
The path to this point has been remarkable — a five-set comeback win over Grigor Dimitrov in the fourth round, where he saved a match point at 6-7(7) in the fifth, was the moment that convinced many that this was not a fluke run.
He is precise and aggressive from the baseline, with a first serve that has reached 140mph, and his ability to play at a consistently high level across five sets has been one of the stories of the tournament.
Zverev arrives as a heavy favourite, and with good reason. The reigning French Open champion beat Taylor Fritz 6-4 6-4 6-2 in under two hours in the quarter-finals, with Fritz battling a knee problem that limited his movement.
Zverev has hit 78 aces at this tournament and won 81% of first serve points, making him arguably the most dangerous server left in the draw.
The 29 year old has become the second-oldest player after Marin Cilic to reach semi finals at all four Grand Slams, joining an elite group that includes Djokovic, Alcaraz and Sinner.
A win tonight would put him within one match of completing the Channel Slam, having already won at Roland Garros in June. Zverev has a 43-10 record in 2026 and has not lost to a player outside the top 100 since losing to Cristian Garin in Munich two years ago.
Fery and Zverev have never met before at tour level, so there are no head-to-head statistics to draw on.
On paper this should be a comfortable Zverev win in three sets, but Wimbledon has a long history of producing the unexpected, and the combination of the crowd, the occasion and Fery’s evident ability to raise his game for the biggest moments makes this a match worth watching from the very first point.
The winner faces either Sinner or Djokovic in Sunday’s final, with both semi-finals providing storylines that could not have been scripted any better at the start of the fortnight.
