Arthur Fery upsets Flavio Cobolli, reaches Wimbledon semifinals

Arthur Fery only the second wildcard to make the Wimbledon semis. The first was Goran Ivanisevic in 2001 after a long period out with injury (and he won).

Fery d. Flavio Cobolli 6-4 7-6(4) 6-0 at Wimbledon UNBELIEVABLE. Arthur becomes only the 5th British man in the Open Era to reach the Wimbledon semifinals The world No. 114 wildcard takes out the Roland Garros finalist in straight sets. It's his fery tale... we're just living in it. 🇬🇧

My advice to the other Wimbledon hopefuls? Don't play the Fery man #Wimbledon

Is it fairytales in sports time or something? I feel like the 2012 Olympics is on with all the gorgeous stories. Arthur Fery even has the NAME of a plucky Wimbledon wildcard in a film. He and Dan Burn should have a sitcom. A 6’7 underdog and his 5’9 buddy.

If England wins the World Cup, Count Binface is elected as the Member for Clacton and Arthur Fery wins Wimbledon, I'll be looking for a Channel 5 hidden camera film team stashed behind the bushes.

The Fery tale continues on Centre Court. First wild card into the Wimbledon semis since Goran in 2001. Absolutely unbelievable effort from Arthur Fery, the world No. 114, to destroy Flavio Cobolli in straight sets www.nytimes.com/athletic/743...

Absolute. Insanity! Last year, when Lois Boisson made the semifinals of her home slam as a wildcard, folks said it could never happen on the men's side. Wrong! Arthur Fery continues his unbelievable run at Wimbledon, toppling #9 seed Flavio Cobolli 6-4, 7-6⁴, 6-0.

Alexander Zverev beat Taylor Fritz in straight sets, knocking out the last American left in the men's singles at Wimbledon. Second seed Zverev will face British wild card Arthur Fery for a place in Sunday's final. 🔗 nyti.ms/4vhcgxG

Arthur Fery, born in France, though his parents moved to Wimbledon when he was a month old in August 2002. He says he feels "very British: now - he turns 24 this month - & a bit more than he did a decade ago as he entered his teens www.espn.co.uk/tennis/story...

Arthur Fery's magical run continues to the Wimbledon Semifinals, he takes it 6-4, 7⁷-6⁴, 6-0 vs Flavio Cobolli Meanwhile Alexander Zverev wins 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 to end the 7-match losing streak to Fritz. Taylor's knee did flare up but a win is a win for Zverev to make his first Wimbledon SF

Thanks, Andy Roddick, for schooling Malika Andrews on the fact that Arthur Fery is NOT a Goran Ivanisevic story. The only things those two have in common are the tennis whites and getting a wildcard.

Anyway the Fery match was a delight and he remains incredibly low key amazed at his life right now. #Wimbledon

That was a man inspired. The British wild card Arthur Fery spins and falls to the ground after reaching the Wimbledon semi-finals with a straight sets win over the No 9 seed, Flavio Cobolli. 6-4, 7-6, 6-0.

Arthur Fery!! Amazing, he’s beaten Flavio Cobolli, the 9th seed, in straight sets and is through to the semi finals!! #Wimbledon 🎾

I was heartened to hear the entire Centre Court crowd do a loud aggressive BOO when the post-match interviewer told Arthur Fery he was to play Zverev next match. Together we can beat that [redacted] [redacted] fucker #TheTennis
