Jonathan Jurejko adds a few more pieces to the jigsaw puzzle that is Arthur Féry.  smile

 Thanks for this, I hadn't realised that Arthur had moved to the UK when he was less than 1. Makes more sense now, and fills in some of the questions that I had been asking myself.

Fery is about as British as Bedene. 

 

Read into that what you will

Oh, crawl back under your stone, will you?  furious  There's no comparison between Arthur & Bedene.

Anyone - someone moving here when a baby and living here most of their life, surely that makes them 100% British? It does to me!

 About as British as, or more than, Kyle Edmund or Jo Konta or Emma Raducanu or Greg or a heap of others ....

But I guess you're irritated by being one of the 'poor, deprived' multitudes with only one passport? smilecry

 I thought Vandenburg was Norwegian anyway (from the flag) ? Which is why it is so funny their best footballer is actually English after he makes this comment!

From his/her profile "Nordic, that has lived in the UK for 15 years"

This has been mightily impressive from Zverev, the first set always felt crucial for Arthur to stand a chance and since the start of that tie break he has completely overpowered Fery

SF:  (2) Alexander Zverev (GER) WR 3 defeated (WC) Arthur Féry WR 114 by 7-6(0) 6-2 6-4

Ah well, it was good while it lasted.    And no doubt he'll learn from today's experience.  As per Andrew Cotter, "overpowered & outclassed, a masterclass".  cry  At least he managed one service break.

 Agree. Zverev showed his class and serve today! Arthur couldnt really get a handle on it, but thanks for the memories Arthur.Managed to resurrect British tennis at Wimbledon single handed. Onwards and upwards.

Well, what a fortnight for Arthur!
Zverev definitely a class above - that's no criticism of Arthur, just a fact.
Onwards Arthur and be very proud!!!!
