Arthur Fery is cheered on by royal fans

Queen Camilla gave Britain’s new tennis star, Arthur Fery, a
standing ovation as he secured a famous win on Centre Court.

The Queen watched as Fery, a wildcard entrant to the world
famous tournament, pulled off a shock three set victory over
Italian Grand Slam finalist, Flavio Cobolli.

Earlier, Queen Camilla had surprised Fery and Crobolli by
popping over to say hello to them as they prepared to take to
Centre Court and she was on her way to the royal box.

In an unexpected moment, The Queen headed over to both men to
shake their hands and wish them both well as they stepped out on to
the famous lawns of the All England Club for their quarter final
match.

In scorching sunshine, Queen Camilla took her seat with her
sister, Annabel Elliot, at her side. Also in the Royal Box were
newlyweds, Peter and Harriet Phillips.

Harriet Phillips, already known for her style choices, wore a
dress with green stripes and mauve accents, echoing the colours of
the All England Club.

This was Queen Camilla’s first visit to the tournament this
year, Late last week, the Princess of Wales visited. She enjoyed
one of Arthur Fery’s earlier matches at Wimbledon when he was far
from a household name. In the first stages of the contest, he was
playing on the outside courts and that’s where Kate watched him
play.

Arthur Fery will now return to Centre Court on Friday for the
semi-finals. He is the first British wildcard to reach the last
four of Wimbledon in the Men’s Singles in the Open Era, an historic
moment marked by the Princess of Wales in a social media post
following his win.

There were also social media congratulations on the main Royal
Family channels but both Queen Camilla and the Princess of Wales
were keen to make sure the spotlight fell on Fery who will now move
into the to 40 in the world after a breath taking run at
Wimbledon.

Arthur Fery produced the performance of his career to book a
sensational place in the Wimbledon semi-finals, defeating ninth
seed Flavio Cobolli 6-4, 7-6(4), 6-0 in front of an ecstatic Centre
Court crowd. The British wildcard continued his remarkable
fairytale run with a display of fearless shot-making, composure and
relentless intensity that left his higher-ranked opponent with few
answers.

Fery made the brighter start, breaking serve in the opening set
before maintaining his advantage with confident serving and
aggressive baseline play. Cobolli responded strongly in the second
set, but Fery refused to be rattled, saving key moments before
producing an excellent tie-break to move within one set of the last
four.

Any hopes of a Cobolli comeback disappeared in the third set as
Fery elevated his game even further. Roared on by a partisan home
crowd, the 23-year-old raced through the set without dropping a
game, sealing victory with a dominant 6-0 finish that underlined
his growing confidence on the sport’s biggest stage.

Speaking after the match, Fery credited his belief and
determination for his breakthrough fortnight, insisting he has
always trusted his ability despite entering the tournament as an
outsider. His reward is a blockbuster semi-final against second
seed Alexander Zverev, with British fans now daring to dream that
one of the most unlikely Wimbledon stories in recent memory could
yet have an even more remarkable ending.

There could well be royal support for Fery as he takes on the
biggest match of his career. And if he does make dreams come true
across the UK then the Princess of Wales is guaranteed to watch him
in the final as she presents the trophies to the winners of the
Men’s and Women’s Singles competitions.
