About this episode
The episode covers Arthur Fery's historic Wimbledon run, the women's quarter-finals, and features an interview with doubles champion Henry Patten.
Arthur Fery's Wimbledon FERY-TALE just keeps getting better! The British wildcard produced a stunning five-set comeback against Grigor Dimitrov to become the first home wildcard in the Open Era to reach the Wimbledon quarter-finals. At Tennis Weekly HQ, we break down one of the stories of the tournament, ask whether this is the most unexpected British Grand Slam run in recent memory, and discuss what went wrong for Dimitrov after another heartbreaking missed opportunity at a Grand Slam. On the women's side, Alexandra Eala's dream Wimbledon run comes to an end against former finalist Jasmine Paolini, while Marta Kostyuk, Linda Noskova and Elise Mertens all reach their maiden Wimbledon quarter-finals as the draw continues to open up. Plus, Chris catches up with doubles champion Henry Patten to discuss Reilly Opelka's comments on doubles, we uncover the secrets and mystique of Wimbledon's exclusive "Last 8 Club", and preview a blockbuster opening day of the quarter-finals featuring Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic, Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula's long-awaited Centre Court debut.
