Arthur Fery’s remarkable Wimbledon run has taken him to the quarter-finals, where the next question for fans is simple: what time is Arthur Fery playing today? The 23-year-old British wild card, ranked 114, is set to face ninth seed Flavio Cobolli after producing the biggest win of his career against Grigor Dimitrov.
Fery has become the first home wild card to reach the Wimbledon quarter-finals, a milestone that underlines just how far he has come during this grass-court season. His progress has not come from one isolated result either. He won his first Challenger singles title in Barranquilla in 2025, reached the semi-finals of the Zagreb Challenger before the grass-court swing, then made the semi-finals at the Birmingham Open and followed that with his first ATP 500 quarter-final at Queen's Club.
A player built for grass
Jamie Murray has been among those to highlight why Fery has looked so comfortable on the surface. Murray described him as someone who plays proper grass-court tennis, pointing to the way he comes forward, moves at the net and keeps his composure. That is exactly the sort of profile that can trouble opponents on the faster courts at Wimbledon.
Murray also spoke about Fery’s inner-confidence and his willingness to take the game on, adding that he did not look overawed by Centre Court. He said Fery performed so well from start to finish against Dimitrov and held his composure throughout, with the experienced Bulgarian the one who blinked at times.
How Fery has reached this point
The road to this stage has been demanding. On Saturday, Fery recovered from 4-1 down in both the fourth and fifth sets against Zizou Bergs. On Monday, he backed that up by beating Grigor Dimitrov in five sets, winning 7-5 3-6 4-6 6-4 7-6 (10-7) to keep his Wimbledon adventure alive.
That second straight five-set match is another reason the next round will be closely watched. Murray noted that Fery is an awkward player to face and praised his court-craft, court awareness, quick movement to the net and hand skills. He also said Fery is moving as well as anyone left in the draw, but warned that recovery will be important after back-to-back long matches.
What happens next against Flavio Cobolli?
The immediate task now is clear: Fery is set to face Flavio Cobolli in the quarter-final. For British tennis, the story has already become bigger than a single result. Fery was born in Sevres, France, grew up in London and attended King's College School in Wimbledon, so this is a run with strong local roots as well as national significance.
His family background adds another layer. His mother, Olivia Fery, played on the WTA Tour in the early '90s, while his father, Loic Fery, is the current president at FC Lorient. But the focus now is on the court and on whether Fery can keep making the most of a breakthrough week at Wimbledon.
As for what time is Arthur Fery playing today, the key point is that his next match is the quarter-final against Flavio Cobolli, with the timing to be confirmed by the Wimbledon schedule. Given what he has already achieved, it is a contest that will carry real weight for both the tournament and for Fery’s growing reputation.
