The semifinal is scheduled for Friday, July 10 at 1:30 pm London time on Centre Court, where Fery has vowed to use the home crowd "to my advantage" — a factor credited with fueling his three prior upsets in the draw. History offers thin precedent for the wimbledon atp: arthur fery vs alexander zverev result to swing the underdog's way, as no British man has reached a Wimbledon final since Murray's 2016 title, and top-three seeds rarely fall to players outside the top 100 at this stage. The winner advances to the men's singles final; Fery's run has already reset his career trajectory, while Zverev seeks his first Wimbledon final. [Sky Sports, Jul 8]
