No messing around from Grigor Dimitrov on his serve as he makes it three perfect service games out of three, with Fery yet to take a point off him.

Dimitrov's game includes an ace at 136mph that flew past Fery.

Dimitrov has that good slice he likes to use. I don't think it will be as effective against Fery though, he is good against the low ball.

Dimitrov, at full stretch, finds the baseline with a delicious forehand that Fery can only stand and watch and that helps the Bulgarian to 15-30, but his hopes of a break of serve are quickly dashed.

An ace down the middle takes Fery to game point, and he seals it soon after with a fine two-handed backhand that Dimitrov can't reach and we're at 2-2.

Arthur Fery began Wimbledon 114th in the world but he is provisionally into the world's top 100 for the first time as a result of his excellent run to the fourth round.

He is also provisionally the British number two, with only Cameron Norrie ahead of him.

A win today against Grigor Dimitrov would potentially propel Fery, 23, into the mid-60s.

A good joke, Roger!

Yes, Arthur Fery was born in France but he and his family relocated close to Wimbledon when he was very young.

Another hold to love from Dimitrov, who has now won all eight of the points on his serve so far, highlighting just how big a task Fery faces against the former world number three.

It's been quite a while since Dimitrov has even played into the second week of a Slam. He has a terrible record coming into the grass-court season.

A big strength of Arthur [Fery] is his movement. In the grass court specifically, it's how quickly can you move forward. He's great at doing that.

A forehand down the line from Dimitrov goes wide to hand Fery his first point on Centre Court, although an up and under from the baseline then goes well wide, to bring about a few oohs and aahs from the fans.

But that is the only drama in the Brit's first service game and a hold to 15 is just what the 23-year-old is after and he is up and running with a game on the board.

It's going to be tough for Arthur Fery to be composed right now and to do his thing early on. I think the heat will actually help Dimitrov to loosen up a bit.

For Arthur Fery, nerves get you tired, heat gets you tired, the occasion gets you tired. This will be a tough task for him.

Gregor Dimitrov has been backed as if he were a home player during his return to the fourth round at Wimbledon.

The crowds have really turned out to support his redemption mission, 12 months after he exited in tears at this stage when injury denied him the chance to complete a spectacular win over eventual champion Jannik Sinner.

But, coming up against the last Brit standing in fellow wildcard Arthur Fery, he may have to settle for polite applause for his efforts for the most part today.

I want to thank the All England Club for giving Grigor Dimitrov a wildcard [after his injury-enforced withdrawal last year].

His rankings are down there not because he's not a quality player. He's a former world number three, this guy is very accomplished. He also has a bigger game than you realise, he moves well and has a lot of flexibility.

A solid start for Gregor Dimitrov, holding to love in the opening service game of the match.

A loose two-handed backhand flies into the crowd from Fery on the third point, but now he will have a chance to settle his nerves with the ball in his hand.

Here we go then on Centre. Grigor Dimitrov to start us off.

On Court One, former Australian Open champion Madison Keys is taking on Czech ninth seed Linda Noskova for a place in the last eight.

It's on serve in the early stages and you can watch that match, as well as the action on every other court, in full on the BBC iPlayer.

Over the British grass-court swing, there has been another unusual health issue for Arthur Fery.

He started suffering nosebleeds at Queen's last month and they have continued during his matches at Wimbledon.

Fery says he does not know the cause of the problem but plans to "figure it out" after the tournament.

Nosebleeds are generally caused by several factors - which include increased blood pressure, irritation from allergies like hayfever, or dehydration.

Jonathan Joseph, an experienced consultant ear, nose and throat surgeon, says stress can be a factor behind nose bleeds.

"In all sorts of different areas of medicine, stress makes a problem worse than it would have been - including nose bleeds," Joseph, a rhinologist at University College London NHS Hospitals and The London Clinic, told BBC Sport.

"People who are about to take a major exam, they can get a nosebleed just because of the stress. It is the same for tennis players."

Whatever Fery's issue is, he will be hoping the only nosebleed territory he experiences on Monday is the quarter-finals of a Grand Slam.

Before Arthur Fery's match starts, this is what Jasmine Paolini said on Centre Court after advancing to the last eight of the women's draw: "It's great. Stepping on this court is something special, I was looking forward to it. Thank you because here it's an amazing atmosphere, it's something else to play tennis here. I feel so lucky to have this opportunity, and to get the win.

"I want to thank Roger [Federer, in the Royal Box], he's my idol. In the match I was trying to stay focused and not think about him being here. I watched all the finals and tournaments that he played here. It was amazing, I want to thank everybody here, you make this tournament so special. It feels amazing to be standing here with the win.

"I came here having not played many matches. After the first set in the first round, I was like OK, it can only go better. Point by point, game by game, I'm feeling getting better on this kind of court. Grass is a weird surface, sometimes you love it, sometimes you can hate it. When you play well and feel good, it's the best surface to play on. Today, I was really enjoying it and hopefully I can play another good match."

On her 2026: "It was really tough, a rollercoaster. 2026 proved me a lot. There were tough moments but I kept working with my team supporting me. Every day I'm feeling better, I feel in the right way when I compete on court again. That's the most important thing to me. Stay positive and enjoy my tennis. I love what I do but I have to enjoy it, it's my superpower."
