France-born British player Arthur Fery, aged 23, has become the last British singles player standing at Wimbledon after reaching the men's quarter-finals as a wildcard. His run matters because it is an unexpected success story on home soil for a player who grew up close to the All England Club in south-west London and played there as a schoolboy.

Fery comes from a notable background: his mother is a former tennis player and his multi-millionaire father owns a French top-flight football club. He reached the quarter-finals through a series of comeback wins, most recently beating Grigor Dimitrov on Monday on his Centre Court debut, despite suffering repeated on-court nosebleeds. His supporters last week included the Princess of Wales, and reports note his past links to former schoolmate Honor Millard, an online chef, though their current relationship status is unclear.
