Watch Arthur Fery vs Alexander Zverev live streams at Wimbledon 2026 in a semi-final that no-one would have predicted pre-tournament. The British wildcard has exploded into wider public consciousness but now faces his toughest test, against the second seed.

Fery has been the story of Wimbledon 2026. Ranked 114 in the world before a ball was struck at the All England Club, the 23-year-old has beaten former world number three Grigor Dimitrov and 2026 French Open runner-up Fabio Cobolli in successive rounds to reach the semi-finals, having never previously made it beyond the second round at a slam. Superb in a 6-4 7-6 6-0 victory over Cobolli in the last eight, Fery has show immense calmness under pressure throughout but must start well and channel the home crowd if he's to become the first wildcard to reach the Wimbledon final since Goran Ivanisevic in 2001.

Zverev has dropped just two sets in reaching his own first Wimbledon semi-final. The 29-year-old finally ended his quest for a major title at the French Open, beating the aforementioned Cobolli in the final, and will start as an overwhelming favorite after demolishing sixth seed Taylor Fritz 6-4 6-4 6-2 in the last eight here. Zverev's serve is arguably the most-improved shot on tour, but historically has fallen away under pressure, so Fery will look to take the ball early and also target the German's weaker forehand wing.
