The British wildcard is in the semi-finals of Wimbledon. Extraordinary. The man who grew up so close to Centre Court now seems to own it.
Flavio Cobolli, who was well-beaten today, is gracious at the net.
They will cheer for him all day long, if he asks!

The kind of afternoon where Arthur Fery could walk through a puddle and not get wet.
On days like these, he could turn water into wine.
He could turn a wildcard into the Wimbledon trophy!
Everything went his way through graft, persistence and quality.

That was a quite extraordinary performance.
To come out in your first Grand Slam quarter-final at home on Centre Court and win in straight sets - including the third set 6-0 - against a Grand Slam finalist is absolutely brilliant.
Fritz 4-6 4-6 2-6 Zverev
And within a couple of minutes of Arthur Fery completing victory, we know who he'll be facing in the semi-finals.
Alexander Zverev rips through with an ace to give him two match points against Taylor Fritz and he only needs one as Fritz cannot return another rocket of a serve.
The German is into his first Wimbledon semi-final with a near perfect performance.

Sealed with an ace. He's bageled the ninth seed Flavio Cobolli to complete a straight-set win on Centre Court in his first Grand Slam quarter-final.
How is everyone's heart rate? Phew.
*Fery 6-4 7-6 (7-4) 5-0 Cobolli
Flavio Cobolli nets a backhand, shoulders slumped. 15-0.
Ace down the T. 30-0.
Serve out wide, big forehand into the opposite corner, rush the net, hideous net cord, recover to still hit the winner into a vacant court. 40-0.
This is Arthur Fery's world.

You just don't want Arthur Fery to wake up because he is just playing such extraordinary tennis.
His anticipation and first step is just phenomenal. He is so good at staying in the point, getting to the short balls and controlling them perfectly.

One step closer for Arthur Fery! One marvellous point to take another break!
He is achieving magical things. He is more Merlin than Arthur today.
He sits down so close to the semi-finals!
*Fery 6-4 7-6 (7-4) 5-0 Cobolli
What a point to seal the triple break! He still has the energy to chase down short balls!
Arthur Fery will serve for a spot in the semi-finals. My word.
Fritz 4-6 4-6 2-5 Zverev*
The crowd will Taylor Fritz on. They want to see some more tennis on Court One.
The American responds with a hold to love.
But Alexander Zverev now serves for the match.
Fery 6-4 7-6 (7-4) 4-0 Cobolli*
Errors, errors, errors from Flavio Cobolli to invite more pressure. Netted backhand this time.

Fery 6-4 7-6 (7-4) 4-0 Cobolli*
Not this time. Arthur Fery loses his radar on a backhand.
Fery 6-4 7-6 (7-4) 4-0 Cobolli*
Forehand winner. Backhand winner. Arthur Fery goes up 15-30. Flavio Cobolli looks at his box in disbelief.
Fery sends a forehand long but then Cobolli shanks one.
Surely not another break?
*Fritz 4-6 4-6 1-5 Zverev
A rare mistake on the forehand from Alexander Zverev gives Taylor Fritz a good start to the game.
But the American is really fading now and hits the net twice in a row to put the German back in control.
Another slice from Zverev is not returned from Fritz and then an ace sees him hold to 15. He is one game away.

Fery should be firmly in the top 30 based on what he is showing us here. A new star has arrived and the unexpected nature of his arrival this summer makes it even more thrilling.

Given London-born Michael Olise is tearing up the World Cup for France, is Paris-born Fery the compensation gift from France to pay off their sporting debt?

Arthur Fery does have breathing space, but he doesn't get too many cheap points on his serve so he has to keep working hard.
He just needs to keep his serve percentage high and continue to get the balance right from the back of the court. He has been so impressive so far, but he cannot afford to drop the intensity now.

Arthur Fery eases through his latest hold.
Two. Games. Away.

Everyone looks a little bit stunned by the fact he is a double-break up in this third set.
