Wimbledon 2026 results: Arthur Fery reaches third round to keep British hopes alive

Arthur Fery kept British hopes alive at Wimbledon 2026 by fighting back from a set down to defeat Finland's Otto Virtanen and advance to the third round, becoming just the fourth British wildcard to reach that stage in the men's singles since 2000. However, Katie Swan was eliminated by Madison Keys. Only four British players remained in the tournament after the first round, with 15 Britons exiting at the first hurdle — the highest number since 1988.
