Alexander Zverev ended Briton Arthur Ferry’s remarkable Wimbledon run with a 7-6 (0), 6-2, 6-4 victory to reach Sunday’s final. Following his success at Roland Garros, he will now have the chance to win back-to-back Grand Slam titles.
Fresh off his victory at Roland Garros, which was a long-awaited breakthrough after a long break, the German will reach his fifth major final and face either reigning Wimbledon champion Jannik Sinner or seven-time champion Novak Djokovic.

“It’s not going to be easy against anyone, whether it’s the champion or someone who’s won 48 times here,” Zverev joked about the possibility of facing Djokovic, who is seeking a record 25th Grand Slam title.
“But I have to believe in myself, and I have to believe that I can win, and that’s what I’m going to do.”
On a warm, gusty Friday afternoon, Zverev broke Ferry early and took some time to find his groove, but it was all smooth sailing in the tiebreak and the 29-year-old won the first set without dropping a point.
“It was amazing…Artur, what an incredible player,” Zverev said.
“He’s going to be a senior citizen on our tour because I think he’s been playing for over 15 years and he’s going to have great results. This is just the beginning of his career and I really believe he’s going to do great things.”
Ferry continued his push in the next set, aiming to become the second man to reach a major final as a wild card after Goran Ivanisevic at Wimbledon in 2001, but soon found himself trailing 1-4 as his experienced opponent increased in intensity.
The raucous Center Court crowd rallied behind Ferry after the 23-year-old appeared to let out an outburst of frustration, but quickly quieted down as Zverev ratcheted up the momentum into the match with a ferocious serve and an unshackled forehand.
“I know that 99.99 percent of the stadium wanted Arthur to win, but it was still an incredible atmosphere,” Zverev added.
“It was a very fair crowd. I enjoyed every second. Many stadiums and crowds around the world could be an example of this crowd. It’s one of the best to play tennis in front of.”
Zverev led for two sets and continued to dominate Ferry, winning clinically and becoming the 13th player since 1968 to reach all four Grand Slam finals in the professional era.
“This Grand Slam has always been the tournament that I struggle with the most, but all of a sudden I was able to reach the Wimbledon final, so I’m incredibly happy and incredibly proud,” Zverev said.
“But we have one game left on Sunday and that will be the focus.”
