The Wimbledon men’s semi-final lineup was completed as Alexander Zverev and Arthur Fery secured their places in the final four with straight-sets victories. Zverev delivered a commanding performance against Taylor Fritz, while Fery continued his remarkable breakthrough run by becoming the first British man to reach the Wimbledon semi-finals since 2016.
Zverev produced one of his best performances of the tournament to overcome Fritz in a battle between two of the biggest hitters left in the draw. Meanwhile, Fery followed up his dramatic five-set win over Grigor Dimitrov by defeating Flavio Cobolli, extending his dream run at the All England Club and setting up a semi-final clash with the German.

Alexander Zverev defeats Taylor Fritz 6-4, 6-4, 6-2

Alexander Zverev delivers one of his strongest performances of the tournament to defeat Taylor Fritz in straight sets and reach the Wimbledon semi-finals for the first time in his career. The German not only advances to the last four at the All England Club, but also ends a difficult chapter against the American, snapping a seven-match losing streak and improving their head-to-head record to 6-10.
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.
