SportTennisWimbledonArthur Fery is Britain's last hope at Wimbledon13:00, 06 Jul 2026BBC Wimbledon pundit Jamie Murray suggested that Arthur Fery might face a restriction for the rest of the tournament. The 23-year-old defeated Zizou Bergs on Court 18 to progress to the fourth round, becoming the first British wildcard to achieve this feat since Andrew Foster in 1993.Fery has thrived on Court 18, despite calls for him to be given a more prominent showcourt, and his team even approached the All England Club requesting to remain there for the Bergs match. That wish was approved and the intimate venue witnessed one of the most remarkable British fightbacks at SW19. However, Fery will be banned from competing on their for the remainder of the tournament.Fery encountered significant trouble in both the fourth and fifth sets, while battling multiple nosebleeds, before securing a 2-6 7-5 2-6 7-6 (7-3) 7-6 (10-5) comeback.The animated crowd erupted for the home favourite, who may have welcomed returning to the same venue once more for his fourth-round encounter with Grigor Dimitrov. However, the pair have been scheduled as the second match on Centre Court on Monday.Murray explained why Wimbledon wouldn't 'allow' Fery to compete on Court 18 again."Incredible," Murray said when asked about Fery's tale. "What a story and what a comeback as well down two breaks in the fourth set, a break in the fifth set, showed his fighting qualities."He loves playing on Court 18, he requested it again today. I don't know if he's going to be allowed to play on that court anymore for the rest of this tournament."Clare Balding then added: "I think it's highly unlikely, especially because next up he will meet the winner of the match that is now on Centre, which is Grigor Dimitrov vs Matteo Berrettini."Dimitrov subsequently defeated Berrettini later in the day, arranging a tantalising showdown.And Fery has already accepted the notion that he will bid farewell to Court 18."I actually didn't put any request in myself," Fery explained about the decision to stay on Court 18. "My team spoke to the club. Obviously the club knew that I won my second round on 18. I had a great experience there. But, yeah, I wasn't involved in any of that.Article continues below"I was really pleased to play on 18 again. Had great vibes on there on Thursday. I think it fit with the club's schedule."When asked if he would prefer to remain on the same court for his last-16 encounter, Fery responded: "No, I think it's time to move on. I'll keep those great memories on 18 from today and Thursday for the rest of my life. Yeah, I'm sure I'll play again on there at some point. We'll see what Monday holds for me."Choose Daily Mirror as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.‌Clare BaldingGrigor DimitrovWimbledon
