Britain’s Arthur Fery overcame a series of nose bleeds to reach the fourth round of Wimbledon with a stunning five-set victory over Eastbourne champion Zizou Bergs.
Fery, who grew up close to the courts of the All England Club, produced a battling performance against the Belgian to win through 2-6 7-5 2-6 7-6 (7-3) 7-6 (10-5) after over four-and-a-half hours on court.
The 23-year-old wild card delighted fans on the 782-seater Court 18 to set up a last-16 encounter against either Grigor Dimitrov or Matteo Berrettini.
Fery suffered with three separate nose bleeds during the contest which led to medical delays, an issue which frustrated Bergs and led to him complaining to the chair umpire.
The Brit will now move up to at least world No 91 when the new rankings are released after Wimbledon to become the new British No 2, and means he will not need to qualify for the US Open, which is live on Sky next month.
Fery becomes the 13th British player in the Open era to reach the men’s singles round of 16 at Wimbledon – and the second active player to do so, after Cameron Norrie, who reached the round of 16 here in 2022 and 2025.
His stunning win also sees him become the second British wild card in the Open era to reach the fourth round at a Grand Slam – after Andrew Foster, who reached the round of 16 as a wild card at Wimbledon in 1993.
Speaking on-court after his victory, Fery was still coming to terms with his success: “I was down for pretty much the whole match, managed to scramble back from two breaks and 4-1 in the fifth, and just tried to put up as much of a fight as I could.
“No words for it, honestly. I don’t know what is going on right now. It will take time to digest it. So many first times after this match. I’m just so glad.”
Fery showed great battling spirit to recover from two sets and 4-1 down to beat Bergs, who claimed his first ATP Tour title when he came from a set down to beat France’s Ugo Humbert in the Eastbourne Open final last month.
His run to the fourth round also gives British fans something to celebrate after a torrid start to the Championships.
After the injury retirements from Emma Raducanu and Jack Draper on the eve of their respective matches at Wimbledon, 10 British players crashed out of the tournament on Monday, making it the worst opening day for the nation at Wimbledon in over 20 years.
Yet Fery restored some pride by winning his first-ever five-set match and ensuring British representation in the singles draw in the second week of the tournament.
