Arthur Fery is making waves at Wimbledon 2026 as the last British star standing! At just 23, he’s already making history by being the first British male wildcard to reach this far in 33 years, securing a whopping £300,000 for his efforts. Facing Grigor Dimitrov next, Fery could pocket £480,000 with another win!
But it’s not just his tennis skills that are turning heads. Arthur comes from a family with deep sports roots. His dad, Loic Fery, once owned the French football club FC Lorient, while his mum, Olivia, was a former tennis champ herself, boasting two singles titles.
Arthur’s win against Zizou Bergs wasn’t without drama, marked by three nosebleeds, yet he pushed through in a thrilling five-set showdown. Ranked 114th globally, he’s already earned £245,000 prior to this tournament and is poised for even more success.
Loic Fery’s journey in football saw him considering investments in clubs like Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds United before settling on FC Lorient. He turned the club’s financial woes around, even selling it to new owners in January while staying on as president.
Arthur’s mum Olivia also had her moment, with a notable appearance at the 1991 French Open. Safe to say, talent runs in the family!
Cheer on Arthur as he aims for Wimbledon glory, and stay tuned for what could be an incredible tale of triumph on and off the court. 🌟🎾 #Wimbledon2026 #ArthurFery #BritishPride
