British wildcard Arthur Fery has continued his sensational Wimbledon run with a straight-sets victory over world number 10 Flavio Cobolli to reach the semi finals.
The world number 114 defeated the ninth seed 6-4, 7-6, 6-0 in front of an ecstatic Centre Court crowd.
The 23-year-old is the first men’s wildcard in 25 years to reach the Wimbledon semi finals and only the fifth British player in the Open era to make the men’s singles last four at the tournament.
Fery, who was ranked outside the world’s top 500 just 18 months ago, is now guaranteed to rise to world number 36 and become the new British number one.
The semi-finals will take place this Saturday, with Jannik Sinner facing Novak Djokovic and Fery playing Alexander Zverev.
The times for the semi finals are yet to be confirmed.
