Britain’s Fery in last eight action
Arthur Fery is carrying British hopes on his back at Wimbledon having made it through to the quarter-finals where he faces French Open finalist Cobolli. The 23-year-old became the first British wild card to reach the quarter-finals at a grand slam in the open era and joins Andy Murray, Tim Henman, Cameron Norrie, Roger Taylor and Greg Rusedski as British men to have reached Wimbledon’s last-eight club.
