CENTRE COURT — The last Brit standing isn’t done yet, with Arthur Fery’s Wimbledon voyage reaching uncharted territory following a stunning five-set win over Grigor Dimitrov.
The 23-year-old has become the first British wild card to reach a grand slam quarter-final.
Few if any saw this coming two hours in, but twice a break down in the fourth set, Fery rallied to force a decider and eventually win the fifth-set tie-break 10-8 on Monday.
Afterwards, Fury looked nothing short of stunned. Comfortably the biggest match of his career, he won through, from 2-1 down in sets, to prevail 7-5 3-6 4-6 6-4 7-6.
“Where to start?” Fery said. “I’ll do my best.”
In reaching the last eight, Fery also becomes just the sixth British male to reach a Wimbledon quarter-final in the Open era – after Andy Murray, Tim Henman, Cameron Norrie, Roger Taylor and Greg Rusedski.
Want another? The world No 114 is also the first player ranked outside the top 100 to reach the men’s quarters here since Nick Kyrgios in 2014.
Fery also pockets a minimum £480,000 in prize money, taking his career earnings past £1m, and faces No 9 seed Flavio Cobolli next for a place in the semi-finals.
