Arthur Fery is living the most important week of his career. The British player secured his spot in the round of 16 at Wimbledon after winning an epic five-set match against Zizou Bergs, reaching the second week of a Grand Slam for the first time. The victory also ensures his debut in the ATP top 100 rankings.

The triumph holds special significance for Fery. The British player, who grew up just minutes away from the All England Club, is having the best tournament of his life... at home. After notching up victories throughout the season and preparing for the grass court swing with more matches than in previous years, he arrived at Wimbledon confident that he could compete at the highest level.

This confidence has translated into a memorable performance, with his first five-set win, the longest match of his career (4 hours 38 minutes), and a ticket to the round of 16. All fueled by a crowd that has turned Court 18 into his personal fortress and now dreams of seeing him continue to make history against a rival like Grigor Dimitrov or Matteo Berrettini.

The match that changed Arthur Fery's career

"I simply tried to trust my fighting spirit and build my entire game around that, keep fighting. I knew he could also get a bit nervous when close to winning the match because he had never reached the fourth round of a Grand Slam either. In those moments, I just tried to keep fighting, stay calm, and play. Today there were many firsts for me: my first five-set match, the longest of my career, the first time I enter the top 100, my first second week at a Grand Slam, all of this at home, five minutes from where I grew up. It's an incredible story for me."

Grass makes the difference

"The most obvious difference is that this year I played many matches on grass before Wimbledon, which greatly boosts confidence, competitive rhythm, and everything else. Also, I won many matches during the season. I also arrived with a higher ranking, which made me feel like I truly belonged at this level."

Public support, essential for the British player

"The crowd was a huge part of the victory, especially at the end of the fifth set. I am very grateful for the support, but I’m not a player who interacts too much with the crowd during the match, I try to stay focused internally. If I spend too much energy outwardly, it can affect my tennis."

At 23 years old, Fery's dream is just beginning

"I have trained with both Grigor Dimitrov and Matteo Berrettini. I don't know them too well, but they are players with great careers. It will be a huge challenge, although I believe in myself and that I can compete against them. This is a very special moment for me; I still can't fully process it. When you are playing so well and achieving these kinds of results, I knew that I would reach the top 100 sooner or later [...] But to do it here, in my home tournament and where I grew up, makes it even more special."
