Dimitrov 1-0 Fery
Since the Open era began at the end of the 1960s, only five British players have reached the quarter-finals of the men's singles at Wimbledon.
Two-time champion Andy Murray got into the last eight on 10 occasions, with Tim Henman doing it eight times, losing in the semi-finals four times and the quarter-finals a further four.
Cameron Norrie, a semi-finalist in 2022, was the last British man into the quarter-finals, losing to Carlos Alcaraz last year.
After being handed a wildcard that meant he did not have to go through qualifying, Arthur Fery has seen off Damir Dzumhur of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Otto Virtanen of Finland and Zizou Bergs of Belgium to be the last Brit left in the singles' events.
Grigor Dimitrov has looked in sublime touch at Wimbledon 2026, reaching the Round of 16 without dropping a single set. The Bulgarian has rolled back the years with composed performances, using his elegant all-court game, powerful serve and trademark one-handed backhand to dismantle his opponents. A former Wimbledon semifinalist, Dimitrov will now be aiming to continue his impressive run and book a place in the quarterfinals.
Standing in his way is Britain's Arthur Fery, who is enjoying the best Grand Slam run of his career. The home favourite has made the most of the Centre Court atmosphere, producing confident performances to reach the fourth round for the first time. Backed by the British crowd, Fery will look to challenge Dimitrov with his fearless baseline game and attacking intent. While Dimitrov's experience on grass makes him the favourite, Fery has already shown he has the belief and game to compete with the very best on tennis' biggest stage.
