Alexander Zverev spoils Arthur Fery's Wimbledon dream to power into final

Alexander Zverev brought an end to the fairytale Wimbledon run of Great Britain’s Arthur Fery with a 7-6(0), 6-2, 6-4 victory on Friday to place in the final, where he will have an opportunity to win back-to-back Grand Slam titles after his French Open success.

Fresh off his Roland Garros triumph, which was his first major after years of heartbreak, the German made his fifth Grand Slam title clash and will battle reigning Wimbledon champion Jannik Sinner or seven-times winner Novak Djokovic.

Alexander Zverev took time to find his momentum as he traded breaks early with Fery, but he was on top of his game in the tiebreak, where the 29-year-old did not drop a point to win the first set.

Fery, who was trying to become the second man to make a Grand Slam final as a wildcard after Goran Ivanisevic at Wimbledon in 2001, fought hard in the next set, but he quickly found himself down 1-4 as the experienced German dialled up the intensity.

The vociferous Centre Court crowd backed Fery after the 23-year-old appeared to let his frustrations boil over, but the cheers soon faded when Zverev unleashed his fiery serve and forehand to firm his grip on the match.

After going two sets up in the match, Zverev continued to show his quality and dominated Fery and breezed through clinically to ensure he became only the 13th man in the professional era since 1968 to reach all four Grand Slam finals.
