handed a wildcard for SW19, and while 10 Brits fell on a nightmare opening day at Wimbledon, Fery has been a standard-bearer for his country.<\/p>\n<p>The former Stanford University student came back from the dead in his five set wins over Zizou Bergs and Grigor Dimitrov in the third and fourth rounds, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>And then Fery put on a clinic to upset ninth seed and French Open

If he reaches the final, Fery will climb to 26th and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/wimbledon\">Wimbledon<\/a> triumph would catapult him to 13th.<\/p>\n<p>While that may be a tall order, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/greg-rusedski\">Rusedski<\/a> believes the Brit has \u201cno weaknesses\u201d in his game, is improving his second serve, which has at times looked vulnerable, and if he stays healthy, he can finish the year inside the top 20.<\/p>\n<p>He said on the latest episode of <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LEEYMRB-CGE\" target=\"_blank\">Off Court<\/a>, \u201cHealth is your wealth. That is what stopped him in the past, not his tennis game. He was one of the top college tennis players as well, he was No 1 for Stanford, and he\u2019s finally healthy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s having that consistent run week in, week out. This will give him immense confidence, no matter what happens, whether he wins or loses. If he wins, it\u2019s an even bigger deal because that gets him to the top 20, making a major final, and he\u2019s got a real shot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou look at his game, there are no real weaknesses. We talked about the second serve being a problem. He won 66% of second serve points\u2026 that number is astonishing. If you\u2019re 54+ on second serves, that\u2019s outstanding; 66 is ridiculous.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was dominant. He\u2019s improving all the time and if he stays healthy, there is no reason by the end of the year, he is not in the top 20 in the world. Nobody is going to want to play him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As Rusedski alluded to, Fery has previously suffered with bone bruising in his arm, something that has waylaid the progress of former British No 1. Fery will have little to no points to defend for the rest of the year, so he has a great chance to really climb the rankings in 2026.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WHAT NEXT? <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>Former British No 1 predicts how high Arthur Fery can climb up the rankings this year amid Wimbledon run Richie Mills 09 Jul 2026 3:45 PM Greg Rusedski (inset), and a fist-clenching Arthur Fery Greg Rusedski believes Arthur Fery has a real shot at beating Alexander Zverev and making the Wimbledon final.
