Arthur Fery's run at Wimbledon ended in the semifinals after a straight-sets defeat to Alexander Zverev. The British wildcard reached that stage as the last home player standing but could not overcome the second seed.
The match took place on July 10, 2026. Zverev won the first set in a tiebreak 7-0 after Fery forced the decider. The German then took the second set 6-2 and sealed victory in the third by breaking serve in the fifth game.
A notable incident occurred in the second set at 1-1. Fery appeared to win a point with a backhand volley, but the chair umpire awarded a let after a ball boy entered the court. The call frustrated Fery and contributed to him losing his serve.
Fery had also argued with the umpire in the first set over uncalled lets on Zverev's serves. Despite the loss, Fery earned $1.2 million and 750 ranking points, lifting him to world No. 36.
