Alexander Zverev is the first German player to reach a Wimbledon singles final since Angelique Kerber won the women's title in 2018 and the first man to do so since Boris Becker in 1995.
He is also the 13th player in the Open Era (since 1968) to reach the men's singles final at all four Grand Slam tournaments.

The Future is Fery. Whatever happens today, although a step too far for our plucky Brit, he's raised the spirits of the nation, and the future of British tennis is in safe hands!
Mandy, Blaenau Ffestiniog
The first set was so crucial. To lose it in that manner was as heartbreaking. Time is running out for Fery, whatever happens he is a future Wimbledon star for life. What he has been able to achieve this year has been nothing shy than sensational. Long may it continue!

Arthur Fery arrived at this year's Wimbledon as wildcard.
He leaves as the new superstar of British tennis.
A Grand Slam semi-finalist, a new career-high of 36th in the world and prize money of £900,000 - what a fortnight for the lad!
Fery laps up the adulation as he walks off court, raising both fists in the air and revelling in the reception.

It has been long time since a German man was in the Wimbledon men's singles final.
Fernandez 7-6 (7-2) Hewett
There must be something in the air on Court One. Gustavo Fernandez fails to serve out the first set for the second time, as he chucks in two double faults to give Alfie Hewett a lifeline.
That's eight breaks from the first 12 games, four from both men. Fernandez looks nervous, Hewett looks livid.
Hewett himself then catches the double fault bug to hand Fernandez an early advantage in the tie break - and this time he presses it home.

Arthur Fery carries an air of confidence wherever he goes.
And, judging by the wag of his racquet to the British fans, he is not giving up the ghost yet.
He still believes but given how Zverev has served today, you would imagine Fery's remarkable journey will be all over in a matter of minutes.

When Zverev serves, it feels like it just going to be a great serve every time. The momentum is so clean.

I really hope Fery can kick on after this tournament because he has proved himself to be a very good tennis player. I look forward to seeing what he can achieve in the future.
Catie, Oxfordshire
This always felt like one step too far, Zverev not even breaking a sweat. But what a run Fery has had, here’s to the next one!
Peter, Colchester
Honestly, what Fery has shown during this tournament has been an incredible reminder to everyone that just because you are a wildcard, doesn't mean that you aren't able to come out onto a court and not be able to put on a show, he will gain experience through each match!

The first serve from Alexander Zverev continues to be so impressive.
He has only lost four points behind his second serve in the whole match.

Image source, PA MediaAlexander Zverev eases through yet another hold. Awesome serving.
Arthur Fery broke his serve in the first set, remember, but he hasn't seen a break point since.
I think Arthur’s just a little bit outclassed here isn’t he? You meet someone as good as Zverev on form and it’s like hitting a brick wall. Good lesson though.
Richard, Fleet
The hype and build up for Arthur was so exciting and well deserved. Sadly, we see today why Zverev is seeded two, but Fery can still hold his head high and be truly proud of all he’s achieved this tournament. It’s not over yet though!

Phew! A relieved cheer from Centre Court as Fery ends a run of losing 12 points in a row. That'll feel better.
Nevertheless, one German fan still feels emboldened to shout something in favour of Zverev.
First thing I've heard all afternoon from the Germans.
