game.<\/p>\n<p>Heading into this year\u2019s Wimbledon, the 23-year-old was outside the top 100, and there was little fanfare surrounding him, despite a breakout quarter-final run at Queen\u2019s Club.<\/p>\n<p>As his fellow Brits fell in the early stages of the championships, the diminutive Fery stood tall and overcame hurdle after hurdle to very much earn his wildcard.<\/p>\n<p>The 5ft 9in player overturned hefty deficits in the fourth and fifth sets in the third round against Zizou Bergs and also fought back from two sets to one down against Grigor Dimitrov, before prevailing in five sets in the last 16.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/arthur-fery\">Fery<\/a> saved his best performance for his straight-set quarter-final win over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/french-open\">French Open<\/a> finalist Flavio Cobolli, with the home favourite serving up a bagel in the third set to the ninth seed.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>More Arthur

Like surprisingly tremendous on grass. He\u2019s [Fery] the best mover of the four guys left, and you know what he has that none of the other guys have? He\u2019s got this dangerous backhand return.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s like, count one alligator, two alligators, and then he flies in. He doesn\u2019t do the chip and charge, he does the delayed backhand return and he makes a ton of returns and for a little guy with not big reach, he gets a lot of returns in play and changes speeds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s making a ton of returns, so this will be interesting now that Zverev is playing someone he doesn\u2019t know and the guy is playing well. Zizou Bergs had him dead to rights, two sets to one, 4-1 double break, 4-1 in the fifth\u2026 this guy is surviving.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sinner, Djokovic, and Zverev may all disagree with Gilbert\u2019s point about the movement. While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/novak-djokovic\">Djokovic<\/a> is 39, he is still an excellent mover, and the Italian\u2019s ability to slide on grass courts may be unmatched right now.<\/p>\n<p>Zverev moves exceptionally well for a man of 6\u20196 but Fery is tremendously nimble about the court, too. Whether he can use that speed to his advantage on Friday remains to be seen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>GO DEEPER: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-features\/richest-tennis-players-family-net-worth-arthur-fery-vs-jessica-pegula-vs-emma-navarro\">Richest tennis players family net worth: Arthur Fery compared to Jessica Pegula and Emma Navarro<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andre Agassi\u2019s old coach outlines what Arthur Fery does better than Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner Richie Mills 09 Jul 2026 1:00 PM Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic shake hands, with Arthur Fery (inset) Andre Agassi\u2019s former coach believes that Arthur Fery is top dog among the Wimbledon semi-finalists when it comes to one facet [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[226,249],"class_list":["post-2034750","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-crawlmanager","tag-tennis365-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2034750","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2034750"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2034750\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2034750"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2034750"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2034750"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
