Arthur Fery has just taken a giant step in his tennis career at only 23 years old. After defeating Flavio Cobolli and reaching the semifinals of Wimbledon 2026, the British tennis player has secured a significant climb in the ATP rankings, breaking into the top 40 and being able to play all the major tournaments in the upcoming weeks.
Before Wimbledon 2026 started, Fery was ranked 114th in the ATP rankings. He had few victories beyond the Challenger circuit, and his expectations for the tournament were minimal despite having received a wildcard. However, he seized the opportunity perfectly, made history, and will at least be ranked 36th in the world next Monday. In other words, he is on the verge of becoming a seeded player for major tournaments when just a few days ago he wasn't even in the top 100. Surreal.
Fery, one victory away from the top 30
This coming Friday, Fery will face Alexander Zverev in the Wimbledon semifinals, and if he causes another upset by eliminating the German, he will rise to 26th in the circuit. The ultimate madness would be if he wins the tournament. Not only because of the media impact it would have and the significance of the achievement but also because he would climb to 13th place in the ATP rankings and create one of the most surreal stories in tennis history.
Furthermore, Fery is practically a newcomer on the circuit, so being able to play all the major ATP tournaments for the first time will allow him to accumulate even more points if he continues to achieve good results. He is young, plays aggressively, has a fighting spirit, and his confidence is currently sky-high. Therefore, it is most likely that his ranking will keep rising at a dizzying pace. A star might have been born at Wimbledon.
