"I grew up five minutes from here and used to come here to watch matches. I have no words right now," Fery said immediately after the victory.
At that point, he had just finished three hours and 50 minutes of play against Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria. The match went to five sets and was decided in a tiebreak.
The Briton's winning score was 7-5, 3-6, 4-6, 6-4, 7-6, making him the lowest-ranked player to reach a quarter-final in a Grand Slam tournament since 2021. Fery will face Italian Flavio Cobolli in the quarter-finals.
