法国出生的英国球员阿瑟·费里作为外卡选手闯入温布尔登男单半决赛，成为自1992 年以来首位达成此成就的斯坦福大学前毕业生 [1]。此前在 1992 年取得同样成绩的是约翰·麦肯罗 [1]。
费里曾在斯坦福大学度过三年网球生涯并主修科技与社会专业 [1]。他在该校期间保持单打战绩为 58 胜 16 负，并于 2021-22 学年成为继鲍比·布莱恩之后首位登顶校队单打排名第一的球员 [1]。其教练保罗·戈德斯坦及布莱恩兄弟对其表现给予了高度评价 [1]。
本届温网男单和女单单打比赛共有 36 名拥有大学网球经历的球员参赛，费里目前世界排名第 114 位，是四强中排名最低的选手（其他三位对手分别为第 1 名的扬尼克·辛纳、第 8 名的诺瓦克·德约科维奇和第 3 名的亚历山大·兹维列夫）[1]。
费里将于周五对阵法国公开赛冠军亚历山大·兹维列夫争夺决赛席位 [1]。周日举行的温网男单决赛恰逢费里的 24 岁生日 [1]。
Arthur Fery has become the first former Stanford player to reach the men's singles semifinals of Wimbledon since John McEnroe in 1992 [1]. The French-born British tennis star achieved this milestone as a wildcard entrant, having spent three years playing and studying science, technology, society at the university where he maintained a 58-16 singles record [1]. During his tenure at Stanford from 2021 to 2022, Fery became the school's first No. 1-ranked player in men's singles since Bob Bryan [1].
Fery will face Alexander Zverev on Friday for a spot in Sunday's final match [1]. The upcoming championship game coincides with Fery's 24th birthday [1]. In this semifinal matchup, the unseeded Frenchman holds the lowest ranking among all four finalists at No. 114, while his opponents are Jannik Sinner (No. 1), Novak Djokovic (No. 8), and Zverev (No. 3) [1]. Coaches Paul Goldstein and Bryan have praised Fery's performance leading up to this stage of the tournament [1]. This year marks a significant presence for collegiate athletes, with 36 players possessing university tennis experience competing in both men's and women's singles events at Wimbledon [1].
