Arthur Fery has emerged as the unlikely last British hope in the singles draws at Wimbledon after a hard-fought 5-7, 7-6, 6-3, 6-3 victory over qualifier Otto Virtanen. The 23-year-old wildcard, who tossed away his sweaty cap and roared after the win, described feeling "a lot of relief, a lot of pride" but remained focused on the work ahead. Fery's path to this moment has been unconventional: born in France to a mother who played at the 1991 French Open and a father who owns Ligue 1 club FC Lorient, he grew up just 10 minutes from Wimbledon and chose to represent Britain.
