These are all the records of Fery after reaching the Wimbledon semifinals
The British tennis player has made history by defeating Flavio Cobolli and reaching the semifinals of the tournament after receiving a wildcard.
Arthur Fery is the name of the moment at Wimbledon 2026. The British tennis player has become the new local hero by defeating Flavio Cobolli and reaching the tournament semifinals, which puts him in history and allows him to break several records that could mark a turning point in his career at just 23 years old.
Fery one set away from...

- his 1st tour-level semifinal
- becoming the 2nd EVER wild card to reach the semifinals
- becoming the 4th ever wild card at a Grand Slam in Men's Singles
- becoming the 5th ever British semifinalist in Men's Singles in the Open Era
I mean. Wow. https://t.co/r5x9uJZKmW
The most surprising aspect of this feat is that Fery entered the tournament outside the top 100, and his presence in the final draw is thanks to a wildcard granted by Wimbledon. To put it into perspective, the last player to reach Wimbledon semifinals receiving a wildcard was Goran Ivanisevic in 2001, who went on to win the tournament. To achieve that, Arthur would need to defeat Alexander Zverev and either Jannik Sinner or Novak Djokovic, but for now, it's time to enjoy the moment.
Furthermore, Fery is the fifth British player to reach the Wimbledon semifinals after Cameron Norrie, Andy Murray, Tim Henman, and Roger Taylor. No one counted on him a week ago, but he has eliminated big names like Zizou Bergs, Grigor Dimitrov, and Cobolli himself, proving that he is ready for his name to appear on the big stage, something he secured by gathering a significant amount of ATP points that will grant him access to the best tournaments on the circuit.
Fery ensures to earn in Wimbledon more than he had won in his entire career
However, the most impressive record of all is financially. Before Wimbledon, Fery had earned €775,000 in his entire career. In just a week and a half at the All England Club, the Briton has already secured a check of at least €1,055,000. Historic. Needless to say, if he reaches the final or wins the tournament, that check would be even higher, so this result has completely changed his career.
On the other hand, Fery has also become the fourth player of the Open Era to need the fewest ATP victories (11) to reach his first Grand Slam semifinals. He earned one of them against Cobolli precisely in the Australian Open and three others in the tournaments leading to Wimbledon on the grass circuit where he has gone from playing Challenger tournaments to establishing himself as a true specialist on this surface and positioning himself as a threat for the future.
Obviously, to date, this is Fery's biggest tournament. In fact, they are his first ATP-level semifinals, achieved in the tournament he had been dreaming of since he was a child. Besides being the second to achieve such a result with a wildcard at Wimbledon, he is also the fourth in the entire history of Grand Slams. His feat will be remembered for a long time, and who knows if this story still has a couple more chapters to be written in the coming days.
