British wildcard Arthur Fery was cheered on by the Queen as he won his Wimbledon quarter final in straight sets.
The 23-year-old, who grew up only 10 minutes from the All England Club, beat Italian ninth seed Flavio Cobolli on Centre Court on Wednesday afternoon to make it through to the semi-finals.
Camilla, who made a surprise visit to Wimbledon, was seen supporting Fery from the royal box, wearing a turquoise chiffon dress by designer Anna Valentine.
Following his emphatic win, Camilla joined the rest of the crowd to give Fery a standing ovation, smiling as she clapped along.
Fery, who is just the second wildcard in Wimbledon history to make it through to a semi-final, will play men’s second seed, Alexander Zverev on Friday.
Following his victory, Fery told courtside interviewer Lee McKenzie: “I can’t believe it, it’s incredible playing on Centre Court for the second time, the second win.”
Asked how he would be preparing for Friday’s semi-final, he said: “I don’t know as I’ve never been in this position before.
“I’m just going to keep going, I’ve been doing a great for the last 10 days I’m just going to keep going and see where that takes me.”
It is 25 years since Goran Ivanisevic famously became the first wild card to win the men’s singles title, and Fery is now only two wins away from matching that historic achievement.
Having battled through deciding tie-breaks in comeback wins against Zizou Bergs and Grigor Dimitrov, 114th-ranked Fery completely outplayed ninth seed Cobolli on Centre Court, winning 6-4 7-6 (7-4) 6-0.
