Well I enjoyed it as one of those old master vs young pretender type battles.

Like boxing or golf or snooker when some can still be winning in their 40s.

Well done Arthur Fery.

Wimbledon is a great "bucket list" thing to do but once you`ve done it...........

Great result for Fery all the same!

Surprised you’re not getting upset about a French born player to French parents who moved to Uk under free migration rules.

And by that token, Michael Olise (born in London, has a British Dad, lived all his childhood in London) is English.

Maybe we could arrange to swap them before the respective quarter finals?

For years, the wildcard system gave a load of duff British players a nice first round pay day.

It’s finally paying off. Frenglish wild card Arthur Fery makes the SFs of Wimbledon!

Prize money of £900k so far this Wimbledon.
He is only 23 and was fantastic today

Brilliant stuff from Fery, he's already made the nation proud, let's hope he can keep going.
