Arthur Fery, a 23-year-old wildcard ranked 114, reached the Wimbledon men's singles semi-final and will face second seed Alexander Zverev on Centre Court on Friday at 13:30 BST. Fery became only the second wildcard in Wimbledon history to reach the last four and is Britain's new number one, having grown up a short walk from Centre Court and first playing at Westside Tennis Club aged four. Born in Sèvres, France, Fery moved to London before his first birthday; his mother Olivia played doubles at the 1991 French Open and competed in the Fed Cup, and his father Loic previously owned Ligue 1 club Lorient. BBC Sport's feature traces Fery's development through coaches Alison Taylor, Craig Veal and Benoit Foucher, his junior successes including World Tennis Junior singles and doubles titles and a career junior high of 12, and notes his 5ft 9in stature and defensive movement that underpin his run. The BBC article contains no mention of a nose operation amid his Wimbledon run.
