Fery sinks Bergs in epic encounter
Western Daily Press
|July 06, 2026
ARTHUR Fery is ready for a bigger stage after keeping British hopes alive at Wimbledon in dramatic fashion with a five-set victory over Zizou Bergs, writes Eleanor Crooks.
Britain’s 23-year-old wild card needed treatment three times for persistent nosebleeds, a problem that has dogged him throughout the tournament, while he was 4-1 down in the fourth and fifth sets.
But Fery showed huge courage and belief to fight back both times before claiming a 2-6, 7-5, 2-6, 7-6 (7-3), 7-6 (10-5) victory after four hours and 38 minutes.
