Arthur Ferry’s unforgettable Wimbledon run has ended after Alexander Zverev denied the Briton a wild card in the final and ended his hopes of a fairytale finish.
Ferry, who reached SW19 as world number 114 and failed to make it past the second round of a Grand Slam, defied all expectations to reach the semi-finals.
But the match against second seed Zverev was a step away and the French Open champion won 7-6 (7-0) 6-2 6-4.
As the German shared a warm embrace with Ferry at the net, the Center Court crowd rose as one to applaud the player who has written the best British Wimbledon stories of the past few years.
A fairy can hold its head high.
After an abysmal start in which his side fell in the first round of 15, he gave England’s singles hope more than anyone thought, and shocked the home crowd with his fighting spirit.
Ferry, who turns 24 in two days’ time, has been confirmed as the new British number one and will climb to 36th in the world rankings on Monday, taking home £900,000 in prize money.
Zverev, meanwhile, is in his first Wimbledon final and will face either defending champion Janic Ciner or seven-time champion Novak Djokovic on Sunday.
The 29-year-old will be hoping to add a second Grand Slam singles title after ending his long wait for a home run at the French Open last month.
