    Right, let's hear from the hero of the hour...

  2. Fery-tale

    Dimitrov 5-7 6-3 6-4 4-6 6-7 (7-10) Fery

    He won't need any more motivation as he has a Wimbledon quarter-final to look forward to, but if Arthur Fery does beat Flavio Cobolli on Wednesday then he will jump above Cameron Norrie and become the British number one.

    Fery started this tournament at 114th in the world and he is already up to the top 65 in the provisional rankings and will go into the top 40 with another victory.

  3. British hopes still alive

    Dimitrov 5-7 6-3 6-4 4-6 6-7 (7-10) Fery

    Who could have seen a British player making the quarter-finals after the start of this fortnight?

    Exactly a week ago, 10 of the 11 Britons to play lost on the opening day of the tournament while Jack Draper and Emma Raducanu both had to withdraw because of injury.

    But come Wednesday, British hopes will still be alive.

    He does not know when he's beaten! Incredible performance, for those of us old enough, memories of Murray coming back from two sets down to Gasquet as a young pup. Bring on Cobolli!

    Arthur Fery stands before an ecstatic Centre Court with his hands on his hips, shaking his head in utter disbelief.

    He has shown the most remarkable character and resilience to achieve that, and is rightfully lapping it all up.

    A day he will never, ever forget.

    Game, set and match - Fery

    Dimitrov 5-7 6-3 6-4 4-6 6-7 (7-10) Fery

    ARTHUR FERY WINS IT TO MOVE INTO THE QUARTER-FINALS.

    The 23-year-old, who started this tournament outside the top 100 in the world, wins a five-set thriller for the second round in a row.

    He beats former world number three Grigor Dimitrov to move into the last eight. The Bulgarian was two sets to one up and only needed two holds of serve to win, but Fery produces a truly brilliant display of resilience, courage and character.

    These are not easy volleys. Both players doing such a good job close to the net, forcing their opponent to play it high.

    Dimitrov is sticking in there, he's within touching distance.

  14. Dimitrov 5-7 6-3 6-4 4-6 6-6 (7-9) Fery

    The biggest point of Fery's life.

  15. Dimitrov 5-7 6-3 6-4 4-6 6-6 (7-9) Fery

    Two match points for Fery after a superb backhand forced a Dimitrov error.

    Extra security have had to head to the Hill to cope with the crowds that have gathered. Even the walkways around the Hill - or Fery Fell as we’re calling it now - are jam-packed full of people.

    “Let’s go Arthur, let’s go” is the chant echoing around.

  17. Fery 8-7, with two serves. Win both points and he is in the quarter-finals. So close. A roar from the Wimbledon fans.

    I'm happy I'm watching this and not playing in it.

  19. Dimitrov 5-7 6-3 6-4 4-6 6-6 (6-8) Fery

    Dimitrov goes wide, by the slightest of margins and Fery leads 8-6. Two points out of the next three and Fery wins it.

  20. 'The legs will feel heavy'

    Fery has done extremely well using the serve and volley tactic, we haven't seen that much. Trying to keep those legs moving, they will be feeling pretty heavy at this moment.
