Arthur Fery's Wimbledon semi-final run ended by Alexander Zverev, earning him a place in British singles history books. The 24-year-old wildcard player from Britain had never been beyond the second round of a Grand Slam before this tournament. In his most memorable fortnight at SW19, Fery reached the semi-finals as a wild card, defeating several top seeds. However, he was defeated by Alexander Zverev in the final round with a score of 7-6 (7-0) 6-2 6-4. Despite not being able to advance further, Fery expressed his happiness at having opted out of a holiday in Greece to experience this fairytale Wimbledon journey.
