Zverev made the decisive move early in the opening set, converting his second break opportunity to establish control in a matchup where Fritz had dominated recent meetings. Although the American created late pressure while Zverev attempted to serve out the set, the German stayed composed and closed out the opener 6-4.
The second set followed a similar pattern, with both players initially protecting their service games before Zverev found another opening at the crucial stage. The world No. 3 remained highly efficient behind his serve and continued to dictate exchanges from the baseline, taking a two-set advantage against an opponent who had troubled him repeatedly in the past.
Zverev raised his level once again in the third set, quickly building a commanding lead with a double break advantage. The German completed the straight-sets victory and booked a semi-final showdown with Jannik Sinner, moving closer to a second Grand Slam final of the season after his Roland Garros triumph.

Arthur Fery defeats Flavio Cobolli 6-4, 7-6, 6-0
Arthur Fery continues his extraordinary Wimbledon breakthrough, defeating Flavio Cobolli in straight sets to reach his first Grand Slam semi-final. The British wildcard follows his five-set comeback against Grigor Dimitrov with another impressive performance on Centre Court, becoming the first non-top-100 player to reach the Wimbledon semi-finals since 2014.
Fery made the perfect start in front of the home crowd, staying composed in a tight opening set before finding the decisive breakthrough late. The Brit attacked Cobolli’s serve at the key moment, converting his first set point to take the opener 6-4 and put himself in control of the contest.

Cobolli responded strongly in the second set, recovering from an early setback and forcing Fery into another closely fought battle. However, the British youngster remained calm under pressure, holding his nerve in the tie-break to take a two-set lead and move within one set of another historic victory.
With momentum firmly on his side, Fery produced his best tennis in the third set, breaking early and never allowing Cobolli back into the match. The 23-year-old completed the straight-sets win and will now face Alexander Zverev for a place in the Wimbledon final, continuing one of the most surprising runs of the tournament.

- I predicted whenthe list was finalised that Linda Noskova would win the WTA Finals and her matches against Gauff and Kostyuk prove that. She is the best (underrated) player in the world!Rapunzel11-11-2026
- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.
mandoist09-11-2026 - Ironically, Martina became a U.S. Citizen about the same time as the Orange Convicted Felon & Abuser was just beginning on his road to losing all Daddy's Millions!!
mandoist09-11-2026 - "Another fresh start is in the cards." Thanks for the Humor!! I'm guessing this is the minimum one can do to keep all your sponsors hanging-on in perpetuity?
mandoist09-11-2026 - Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.
mandoist08-11-2026 - Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.

mandoist06-11-2026 - Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
