Moved to the UK at a young age and represents Britain - seems a decent link.fenaddick said:

Just had a cracking day out at Wimbledon. The noise coming off court 18 was superb.

Fery faces Dimitrov in round 4. Dimitrov the former World No 3 has dropped down the rankings following injury problems but has shown good form at Wimbledon and will be a tough match.0

Cheers. Thought he was Finnish for some reason1

Fery seems to have the patience to play rallies rather than play a couple of shots then hit the ball out going for winners,something Fearnley was guilty of in his last game.I reckon he could win his next game.0

Big day for Fery playing on centre court - hopefully won't be overawed by it.thickandthin63 said:Fery seems to have the patience to play rallies rather than play a couple of shots then hit the ball out going for winners,something Fearnley was guilty of in his last game.I reckon he could win his next game.1 -
He seems very level headed - considering his French genetics!hoof_it_up_to_benty said:

Fery claws back the fourth set. Fifth set decider.
Fery is a real battler.2 -
Unbelievable victory. Another 5 set battle.2

Absolutely stunning1

Is that a Wimbledon QF for Fery? Unbelievable, well done to him3
-
Now inside the top 65 in the live rankings. Quite an incredible run of results.2

A M A Z I N G!
Wow! He just doesn't give up and keeps so cool, that got him through
One thing I noticed was the lack of double faults because he so calm, even in key moments3 -

Excellent defensive player who wears his opponent down. Certainly has a very calm attitude.PrincessFiona said:A M A Z I N G!

None of his games have been easy.1 -
Fery to play Cobolli in the QF. Fery beat him at the Australian Open.1

I like Arthur I do 😎👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻1

I said he could beat Dimitrov,and no reason he cant win his next game,great attitude,never gives up or gets down when things go wrong.He just has an all round game,good serve,excellent returning,very good shot selection,nobody will want to play him in this form.Can he keep it up when Wimbledon is over,yes he can,but the problem will be motivation,playing smaller events,fewer people watching in places he wont be familiar with,keep winning games and get in that top 20,start beating the likes of Shelton,Di Manuer,he can do it.0

He's been playing on the Challenger tour in front of small crowds and unfamiliar places so won't find that an issues. The issue will be playing better players on a regular basis and not winning so many matches - hopefully he can make the step up.

I think he can. Not just because of his all round game but because of his attitude. It's that, that can make such a difference. He seems (so far) that he is very level-headed and takes everything in his stride and doesn't get fazed. That's hard to coach or learn, although hot-headed teenagers like Borg and Federer learned that calmness in their game made a huge difference, so I understandthickandthin63 said:I said he could beat Dimitrov,and no reason he cant win his next game,great attitude,never gives up or gets down when things go wrong.He just has an all round game,good serve,excellent returning,very good shot selection,nobody will want to play him in this form.Can he keep it up when Wimbledon is over,yes he can,but the problem will be motivation,playing smaller events,fewer people watching in places he wont be familiar with,keep winning games and get in that top 20,start beating the likes of Shelton,Di Manuer,he can do it.0 -
Good thing is that the ranking boost into the top 100 will mean the events he plays in will be that much better, and he'll get into other grand slams - all good experience.thickandthin63 said:I said he could beat Dimitrov,and no reason he cant win his next game,great attitude,never gives up or gets down when things go wrong.He just has an all round game,good serve,excellent returning,very good shot selection,nobody will want to play him in this form.Can he keep it up when Wimbledon is over,yes he can,but the problem will be motivation,playing smaller events,fewer people watching in places he wont be familiar with,keep winning games and get in that top 20,start beating the likes of Shelton,Di Manuer,he can do it.0 -
Agreed about the comparison to Fearnely. But Fearnley's issue with double-faulting is partly what led to me noticing Fery's lack of double faults, otably (not) at key moments. Sure, other players will take more (some) notice of him now, but I think he has so many important characteristics. The one thing he can't do anything about is being shorter than the average player, with less reach and the obvious implications re his service action etc but he's certainly very quick and reads the game wellhoof_it_up_to_benty said:

Great stuff from Frey, just when I’d given up on British tennis!2

Fails the Charlton Life height test but besides that has performed magnificently whatever happens in the quarter finals.1
