Just seven days ago, there was doom and gloom surrounding the performance of British players at this year’s Wimbledon.
Only four of the 19 Britons in the men’s and women’s singles draws made it into the first round, while both Emma Radukanu and Jack Draper were absent through injury.
Go ahead, Arthur Ferry.
Monday, ferry Played the match of his life Grigor came back to beat Dimitrov in five thrilling sets to reach his home major quarter-finals.
Center Court couldn’t hold its own as Ferry twice fought back from a break down in the fourth set to stun former world number three Dimitrov 7-5 3-6 4-6 6-4 7-6 (10-7).
Ferry is the first wildcard and first player outside the top 100 to reach the last eight at Wimbledon since Nick Kyrgios in 2014.
There has only been one wildcard to win the Wimbledon trophy – and that was Goran Ivanisevic in his 2001 title run.
Although there were still three matches left in the match run – starting with Wednesday’s quarter-final against Italian ninth seed Flavio Cobolli – Ferri will be celebrating in any way on Sunday, as it is his 24th birthday.
“What I experienced today, I’m going to cherish for the rest of my life,” Ferry said.
“Who knows, maybe I’ll never have that experience again. This is the first time I’m playing on this stage.
“This may be the first and last time – but hopefully not.”
