British wildcard Arthur Fery produced a remarkable comeback to defeat Belgian qualifier Zizou Bergs in a five-set marathon lasting almost five hours at Wimbledon. Twice trailing in the match, Fery recovered on both occasions to progress to the fourth round of a Grand Slam for the first time in his career, keeping British singles interest alive in the tournament.

The gruelling encounter took a considerable physical toll on Fery, who suffered three nosebleeds during play but still managed to outlast his opponent. Afterwards, the qualifier said the scale of his breakthrough was difficult to take in, adding that the emotional and physical demands of the win meant its significance would take time to sink in.
