Julia Carrot · All-time great

Just wonderful. Great player, great guy. I really like Dimitrov also and he nearly made it, but Arthur just doesnt give up.

He's already beaten Cobolli in a GS this year

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

WOW.

LordBrownof · Challenger qualifying

That ace at the end...what nerve! He was incredible throughout the match - stayed the course, kept his head, and was brave when he needed to be. Glad he got the crowd into it in the fourth set because he needed it.

But what a result. I've followed and have been a fan of Arthur since he was a junior and with so many injuries, it's fantastic to see.

GOOOO ARTHUR!!

As noted in my post at the bottom of the previous page:

QF: (9) Flavio Cobolli (ITA) WR 10 (= CH) vs (WC) Arthur Féry WR 114

Arthur qualified for this year's AO & beat Cobolli, the 20th seed, in straight sets (7-6(7) 6-4 6-1) in the first round...

Brilliant - a new British star arrives - live 63. And top Brit in the race.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

As everyone's said, just an amazing effort

Huge congrats to him

And huge congrats to Jérome Bernard, his coach - you could see the plan

That point in the MTB, when Arthur was 5-6 down, and he dug that really really low volley out and then claqued the next one, just changed the whole momentum -Dimitrov looked a spent man

What's so nice for many of us is that we've all seen Arthur play live, at pretty lowly events, with two men and a dog. So you feel you 'know' him a bit - his parents are very nice too, very 'French' in the best possible way

, I had a good chat with them several years ago, before Arthur went to college

Arthur has basically single-handedly saved British tennis this summer - the LTA should give him a medal
