Arthur Fery has just made history at Wimbledon 2026. The British tennis player has become the local hero after defeating Flavio Cobolli with a score of 6-4 7-6(4) 6-0 in just 2 hours and 13 minutes of play, allowing him to advance to the semifinals at the All England Club after receiving a wildcard to enter the main draw.
The British player entered the tournament as the world number 114 and had already eliminated players like Zizou Bergs or Grigor Dimitrov. Wimbledon's organization had chosen to place him on Centre Court against Cobolli as the only Briton in contention. Not only did he not feel nervous, but he also delivered one of the best matches of his career. After winning the first set, Arthur came back from a break down in the second set and dominated the tiebreak to unsettle Flavio, finishing with a bagel in the third set. Wimbledon history.
Fery becomes Cobolli's nemesis
Since Cameron Norrie in 2022, no British player had reached the Wimbledon semifinals, especially after receiving a wildcard. What Fery has achieved is on par with very few, and it also makes him Cobolli's nemesis in 2026. In fact, they have only met twice, both times this year at a Grand Slam. The first encounter was at the Australian Open, where Flavio also failed to win a set, and now this.
Interestingly, the only Grand Slam where they did not face each other was at the Roland Garros, where Cobolli reached his first Grand Slam final. This Friday, Fery will face Alexander Zverev with the dream of causing a major upset and aiming for a final that would shake up the world of tennis.
