Arthur Fery v Alexander Zverev LIVE: Wimbledon 2026 latest scores and updates from blockbuster semi-final day before Novak Djokovic v Jannik Sinner

Arthur Fery’s semi-final against Alexander Zverev will be the first match to be played on Centre Court on Friday. That will start at 1:30pm BST. It was expected that the other semi-final, between Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner, would be played first, as their quarter-finals were played on Tuesday. But the order has been flipped.

Arthur Fery will now face another step up against Alexander Zverev, who is through to the Wimbledon semi-finals for the first time in his career after ending his long wait for a first grand slam title at last month’s French Open, beating Cobolli in five sets.

Starting Wimbledon ranked 114th in the world, Arthur Fery’s unexpected breakthrough has captured the attention of the tournament and his semi-final against Zverev will take place before the blockbuster between defending champion Sinner and Djokovic on Centre Court.

Arthur Fery will play second seed Alexander Zverev for a place in the Wimbledon final against either Jannik Sinner or Novak Djokovic as the homegrown British wildcard bids to extend his extraordinary run at the Championships.

Fery is the second wildcard in Wimbledon history to reach the semi-finals, following the 2001 champion Goran Ivanisevic, and the 23-year-old is only the fifth British man to make it though to the semi-finals in the open era.
