Alexander Zverev has reached the semifinals of Wimbledon 2026 for the first time. The reigning Roland Garros champion defeated Taylor Fritz convincingly in straight sets to advance to the last four of the All England Club, where he will face British player Arthur Fery for a spot in the final.

Minutes later, the World No. 3 appeared in a press conference, satisfied with the level displayed against an opponent who had caused him numerous problems in recent years. He explained the keys to his development on grass and praised Fery, the tournament's breakthrough player, mentioning that he is not concerned about playing with the entire crowd against him.

Zverev's First Wimbledon Semifinal

"I am very happy to be in the semifinals, especially against someone like Taylor, who I had struggled with a lot over the past two years. The matches had been quite one-sided, always ending in his favor. I am very pleased with how I played. Being in the semifinals is fantastic."

The Key to His Evolution on Grass

"Winning Roland Garros helps a lot, undoubtedly. But I've also made some changes to my game to adapt it to grass, and this year it's working really well. I spoke about it in earlier rounds. I changed my positioning on returns and also my overall court positioning. I tried it in previous years, but I never felt comfortable doing it. This year is different, and I'm very happy about it."

In 2024, I felt very good here until I injured my knee. Last year, I didn't really have time to get comfortable because I lost in the first round against a strong opponent who served incredibly well. This year, I won a very similar match in the first round and from there, I felt better in each match. Sometimes you just need to accumulate matches. On grass, you need confidence to play well, and I believe everything I did in the months leading up to Wimbledon has helped me."

Alexander Zverev's Praise for Arthur Fery

"The first time I saw him play was in Australia when he defeated Cobolli in the first round. I watched that match, and even then, he impressed me a lot. He has very clean technique and solid groundstrokes; he seemed like a very good player to me from the start. It might be a small surprise that he is in the semifinals, but I think he deserves it. The victories he has achieved and the way he rallied in several matches have been fantastic. It's a great story."

Ready for a Centre Court Crowd Rooting for Fery

"I am very excited to face him in the semifinals; I think there will be a fantastic atmosphere. I know perfectly well that 99% of the people will be cheering for him, but I also enjoy that kind of environment. I like it when the energy is very high. For me, the British audience and Wimbledon's crowd have always been very fair. They cheer with a lot of energy and make a lot of noise, but they are always respectful. I am looking forward to facing that challenge."

I have played on the circuit for many years. I have experienced very hostile environments, difficult crowds, and even some unfair ones. I believe I know how to handle those situations, and I am perfectly prepared for it. Also, the English audience has always seemed quite fair to me. Yes, they make a lot of noise, but I don't mind at all."

Zverev's Preparation for His Semifinal Clash with Fery

"My team and I will analyze his game. We will watch videos and study some of his matches. It's normal that I haven't seen much of him because we have never faced each other. But he has had a fantastic tournament and fully deserves to be in the semifinals. I will do everything possible to prepare for the match in the best way and play my best tennis."

The Importance of Keeping Calm

"I have experienced several surprises throughout my career, to be honest. This year, fortunately, things have gone well. I think many times people overthink. In the end, it's just another tennis match. Of course, it's a big match. There's a lot at stake because a Wimbledon final is on the line, and we both know it. But over time, I have learned that a tennis match is still a tennis match. Nobody is going to die, and neither of our lives will change drastically. We will both keep living. I will just try to play my best tennis. There isn't much more to it."

Is Grass the Best Surface for Fery?

"I think it's quite evident; reaching the Wimbledon semifinals is very hard to achieve. This is undoubtedly his best result, and he will probably be in the top 50 after this week. The results speak for themselves. He is a relatively new player on the circuit. Perhaps he will also surprise us on hard courts or clay next year; we don't know. But right now, there is no doubt that grass is the surface where he is performing best."
