I just can\u2019t believe it.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was incredible playing on Centre Court for the second time and getting a second win. I just can\u2019t believe it.<\/p>\n \u201cI played Flavio [Cobolli] earlier this year and I beat him in Australia which was a boost of confidence, so I knew that I could do it even though it was my first time in the quarter-finals and he has done it before in a Grand Slam. I was very nervous beforehand but I just kept going until the finish line.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t know what I\u2019ll do over the next couple of days, I\u2019ve never been in this position before! I guess it will be the first time and we will figure it all out as we go.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m just going to keep going, I\u2019ve been doing a great job for the past 10 days, so I\u2019m just going to do the same thing and see where that takes me.\u201d<\/p>\n Speaking on BBC Sport, Tim Henman said: \u201cThat was a quite extraordinary performance.<\/p>\n \u201cTo come out in your first Grand Slam quarter-final at home on Centre Court and win in straight sets \u2013 including the third set 6-0 \u2013 against a Grand Slam finalist is absolutely brilliant.\u201d<\/p>\n READ NEXT: Novak Djokovic told to stop making \u2018mistake\u2019 before Jannik Sinner Wimbledon semi-final<\/a> The post Wimbledon: Arthur Fery makes staggering rankings jump after huge Flavio Cobolli upset<\/a> appeared first on Tennis365<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Arthur Fery took his astonishing Wimbledon run to new heights as he dismantled Flavio Cobolli in straight sets to reach the semi-finals at the All England Club.
