    A Fery ace makes it 7-6 to him. Three points to go.

    You know that there's going to be turns here, it's not going to be straightforward. There's going to be ebbs and flows.

    Dimitrov is going to have to work really hard here because every time he's lost momentum, Fery has made the most of that.

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

    A good serve out wide from Dimitrov is sent into the net by Fery to move the Bulgarian 6-5 in front but, to the delight of the home fans, it quickly becomes 6-6 thanks to a serve-volley from Fery.

    You've just got to be so careful when you're in your back corner. Fery was there, he just left Grigor [Dimitrov] open for his forehand cross, which we know he loves.

    What a swingaround.

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

    A double fault from Dimitrov wipes out his advantage, 5-5.

    The one who is going to be braver will win this. So far, that's been Fery.

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

    Dimitrov wins three points in a row to go from 2-4 down to 5-4 up. It is first to 10, but you need to win by two.

  8. 'Dimitrov changed his racquet'

    It's interesting to see Dimitrov go and change his racquet again. He played the first three points with one racquet and has now gone for another.

  9. *Dimitrov 5-7 6-3 6-4 4-6 6-6 (2-4) Fery

    Greg Rusedski
    Former British number one on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Excellent movement by Fery, he's still got that spring in his step to force the error there.

    Naomi Broady
    Former British player on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra 2

    I just hope that it's a moment of brilliance that causes someone to win this and not a mistake.

  11. A good first serve puts Fery ahead at 3-2 and then he gets the mini advantage at 4-2.

  12. Dimitrov 5-7 6-3 6-4 4-6 6-6 (2-2) Fery

    Dimitrov nudges in front in this 10-point tie-break, but then flicks a backhand down the line wide, 2-2.

    The quality from both men to start this tie-breaker has been excellent.

    Never before has a British wildcard reached a Grand Slam quarter-final.

    An unforgettable slice of history is a 10-point tie-break away for the 23-year-old Arthur Fery, who sat outside the world's top 450 just 12 months ago.

    It is absolutely the most fitting way for this captivating contest to be decided, even if it is suboptimal for the stress levels.

    Interesting that Dimitrov has changed his racquet. Sometimes you lose your feel when you do that.

    We've gotten what we've wanted.

  16. Dimitrov 5-7 6-3 6-4 4-6 6-6 (1-1) Fery

    An ace from Fery is a fine way to start off the tie-break, but the advantage does not last long as a cross-court winner follows from Dimitrov.

  17. Dimitrov 5-7 6-3 6-4 4-6 6-6 Fery

    A hold to 15 from Dimitrov takes us to a 10-point tie-break in the deciding set for a place in the quarter-finals.

    We have no idea who is going to come out on top here.

    I don't feel nervous for either of them, I've just absolutely loved watching this match.

    There's been some brilliant plays and points for both players.

  20. 'Not a patch of grass to be seen'

    There were a few suggestions after Arthur Fery’s third-round win that the Hill - often called Henman Hill or Murray Mount - should be re-named Fery Fell.

    With play on Court One finishing up for the day, everyone has piled out and headed there for the end of Fery’s match against Grigor Dimitrov.

    The Hill is so busy that they’ve had to introduce a one-way system and the noise level when Fery wins a point is incredible. There’s not a patch of grass to be seen!
