  1. Fery v Cobolli

    Queen Camilla, heading up to the Royal Box, has just stopped to shake hands with Arthur Fery and Flavio Cobolli as they wait in front of the doors to Centre Court.

  2. 'A normal kid who is very good at sport'

    Arthur Fery might have been born on the outskirts of Paris to French parents, but he grew up a short walk away from the All England Club.

    His mother, Olivia, is a French former Fed Cup player who used to work for the LTA as a business development manager, while father Loic is an asset manager who was the owner of Ligue 1 football club Lorient and said to be worth more than £275m.

    Fery is enjoying the home comforts of staying with his family during the Championships, but his coach Jeroen Benard says everything else has stayed the same in the camp and highlights how grounded Fery is.

    "Every morning when he gets treated we're watching World Cup highlights and we talk about day to day stuff - it's nothing different than if we are playing a Challenger in Croatia," said Benard.

    "He's really good fun to be around. We joke a lot. He's just a normal 23-year-old who happens to be very good at sport."

  3. 'Composure and poise'

    Former GB Davis Cup captain on BBC One

    Arthur Fery has shown so much composure and poise throughout this tournament.

    He summed up his mentality in that last tie-break against Grigor Dimitrov, where we were watching him play and we didn't think he was actually going to miss. He has instilled that kind of belief in us because we have seen how solid he is time and again.

    To me, it is almost like he has grown up as a player throughout this tournament. I'm looking at him and thinking that he is becoming more and more polished in every match he plays.

  4. Fery's route to the last eight

  5. So, we know the identities of six of this year's eight singles semi-finalists.

    Alexander Zverev and Taylor Fritz will be getting under way soon on Court One but on Centre Court, it's time to embrace Fery fever.

    Noskova 6-3 7-5 Mertens

    Linda Noskova shakes hands with Elise MertensPA Media

    What a moment for the 21-year-old.

    Linda Noskova falls to her haunches as the emotion and realisation hits her.

    One break of serve in each set - from multiple opportunities - was enough to see off the gallant Elise Mertens.

    Noskova shows zero nerves in getting over the line - some big serves helping her hold to love in a service game that summed up the match really. She was so dominant on serve.

    Ukraine's Marta Kostyuk next up in the semis.

  7. Fery up next on Centre Court

    Fery v Cobolli

    The Centre Court crowd has, understandably, thinned out following Marta Kostyuk's straight-set win over Jasmine Paolini.

    But it won't stay empty for long.

    Up next on Wimbledon's biggest stage, it's British wildcard Arthur Fery in the biggest match of his life against ninth seed Flavio Cobolli.

    Will the Fery-tale continue?

  8. Noskova 6-3 5-5 Mertens*

    Questionable shot selection from Mertens. Is that a sign of the weight of the moment?

  9. Noskova breaks (finally), serves for match

    *Noskova 6-3 6-5 Mertens

    Yep, the umpteenth time is the charm.

    A booming forehand return from Linda Noskova and Elise Mertens cannot get it back over the net.

    The 21-year-old will serve on Court One for a place in the Wimbledon semi-finals against Marta Kostyuk.

  10. Break points again for Noskova

    Noskova 6-3 5-5 Mertens*

    Another opening on the Elise Mertens serve for Linda Noskova.

    A forehand winner brings up two break points. She keeps creating these chances - she's just not taken them. This time?

  11. 'Winning certainly does become a habit'

    Kostyuk 6-3 6-2 Paolini

    Tracy Austin
    Two-time Grand Slam champion on BBC One

    It is so impressive for Marta Kostyuk to come out in such a big moment and produce a performance like that. She was just too good for Jasmine Paolini today.

    She has been controlled and powerful throughout this tournament. Her groundstrokes have been averaging 71mph but she bumped it up another three mph in her quarter-final, which is hard to do when you're full of nerves.

    Winning certainly does become a habit. She is in the flow.

  12. Noskova 6-3 5-5 Mertens*

    An unreachable ace out wide from Linda Noskova - her seventh ace of the match - dashes any Elise Mertens hopes of breaking the Czech's serve.

    We're locked level in set two once again. Cracking set this.

  13. 'Going to take some stopping'

    What a way to finish it!

    Kostyuk is on her knees on Centre Court after completing a virtuoso performance to knock out Paolini and reach her first semi-final.

    She does a pirouette in Centre Court. You do not play better tennis than what we have just seen from Kostyuk.

    If she keeps playing like that then she is going to take some stopping.

  14. *Noskova 6-3 4-5 Mertens

    Elise Mertens is transferring the battling qualities she's shown on her own serve to trying to break Linda Noskova's.

    Deuce - and the Belgian is two points away from levelling this match.

  15. Kostyuk 6-3 6-2 Paolini

    A little over a month after reaching her first Grand Slam singles semi-final, Marta Kostyuk is through to the last four once again.

    The 12th seed will face either Elise Mertens or Linda Noskova for a spot in her maiden major final.

  16. 'The winning continues'

    Kostyuk 6-3 6-2 Paolini

    Chris Bradnam
    Commentator on BBC One

    Marta Kostyuk with a wonderful performance on her Centre Court debut! She has beaten the former finalist with a very impressive display.

    The winning continues - she is 21 wins from 22 games now! The victory jig doesn't get much better than that.

  17. Mertens holds heroically

    *Noskova 6-3 4-5 Mertens

    Not really sure how Elise Mertens held serve there. What guts.

    She seemed on the back foot in every point yet just managed to dig it out when she had to.

    Linda Noskova must be feeling very frustrated having failed to take a bucket-load of break opportunities this set.

    It is! Marta Kostyuk, on her Centre Court debut, is through to her maiden Wimbledon semi-final in straight sets!

    Kostyuk completely overpowered the Italian former finalist, who converted four of her eight break points and only conceded nine points on serve across the two sets.

  19. Emily Salley
    BBC Sport at Wimbledon

    The loudest cheer of the match by some mile. Court One erupts as Elise Mertens lands the perfect lob and saves another break point.
