Arthur Fery reveals nose operation amid Wimbledon semi run

sportsJul 10, 202653455

Arthur Fery, a 23-year-old wildcard and world number 114, will return to Centre Court on Friday at 13:30 BST to face second seed Alexander Zverev in the Wimbledon semi-final. Fery grew up less than a mile from the All England Club, first stepping on court aged four at the Westside Tennis Club, and is now one win away from a place in the SW19 final. Born in Sèvres and raised in London, Fery is the new British number one; his mother Olivia played doubles at the 1991 French Open and competed in the Fed Cup, while his father Loic formerly owned Ligue 1 club Lorient. Coaches who helped develop him include family friend Alison Taylor, Craig Veal at Sutton Tennis Academy, and former ATP player Benoit Foucher; Veal and Foucher opted to develop Fery by playing him against adults in the UK rather than pushing early international junior travel. As a junior he won World Tennis Junior singles and doubles titles and reached a career-high junior ranking of 12, and he progressed to the professional breakthrough that has produced this shock semi-final run. Wimbledon has already noted Fery is only the second men's singles wildcard in the tournament's history to reach the semi-finals, underscoring how rare his run has been.

Why do the right wing MSM rave about the 'British'Fery a man born just outside Paris to French parents whilst hating immigrants.Might have something to do with the colour of his skin perhaps.

Dennis Patton1

He is French. His father is French hedge funder. His mother is French. He was born in France. He is French.

Greatly amused by the MSM reporting of the Arthur Fery story as the lad from Wimbledon playing at #Wimbledon while definitely not mentioning that he's actually French and quietly demonstrating that immigrants make things better.

The way things have been going this week with sports in Britain I’m looking at Arthur Fery v Alexander Zverev and thinking “sure why not a brit in the final could happen”. #wimbledon

Men's Semifinal day at Wimbledon is always a fun one, the only slam left where both SFs are on the same ticket Zverev and Fery start it off and then its Djokovic and Sinner as they flipped what they have always done to get the better match in the later slot, only a 3-4 hour rest difference anyway.

What a summer. England win the world cup. Arthur Fery wins Wimbledon. Heatwaves. Extra Bank Holiday and Count Binface smashes the Fash in Clacton. Brilliant!

Morning all! Another day with our lovely grandson but I'm hoping he'll have a nap this afternoon so we can watch Fery play. I love the Wimbledon fortnight. Are there times in your year when you'd willing give up writing to pursue another interest?

So surprised to see Fery Zverev playing the first semi final at Wimbledon tomorrow, as he played the second lot of Quarter finals. Also it would have been better timing for people finishing work. Advantage Sinner? #wimbledon
