Germany's Alexander Zverev, world No. 3, ended the adventure of Britain's Arthur Fery to reach the Wimbledon final, the third Grand Slam of the year, with a 7-6 (7-0), 6-2, 6-4 victory on Friday. Zverev had never progressed beyond the fourth round in his previous nine appearances at this tournament, but it seems his first major title win a few weeks ago at Roland Garros gave him the momentum to reach the final, which will be his fifth Grand Slam final. In contrast, the adventure of Fery, 23 years old, ranked 114th in the world, who became the first wildcard to reach the men's semifinals at the All England Club since Croatia's Goran Ivanisevic, who won the title in 2001, came to an end. Fery had hoped to become the first British man to win the Wimbledon singles title since Andy Murray in 2016, but Zverev's experience played its role in ending his adventure.
