How has Arthur Fery broken through at Wimbledon this year?πŸ€”πŸ₯Ž

🎀 Whisper Transcript (en) ⏱ 64s

"So how has Arthur Ferry broken through at this year's Wimbledon Championships? Well, he's number one in movement quality. This is the ability to cover the court and recover effectively. He's an illustrious company at the top of the leaderboard with Kaboli, Diminar and Yannick Sinner. He's also fourth in the steel score, which is the number of points won in defence. Here are some great examples of how quick and agile he is around the court. He's got a low centre of gravity, he's very light on his feet, kind of floats around the court. He also has very good hand skills, good feel around the court, court awareness. He's able to improvise a lot in these kind of difficult, more awkward shots where the ball's down low. He's also proven to be very resilient. Came back against Zizou Ferry from two breaks down in the fourth set, a breakdown in the fifth set and multiple nosebleeds across the match. He actually requested to play his last match on court 18 because he enjoyed the atmosphere and the crowd that much. If he wants to go further in this tournament, he's going to have to step up to the main show courts. It's a lot more eyeballs, much bigger spotlight. You really feel a change in atmosphere, bigger sense of occasion. And those are the things that he's going to have to get used to and adapt to very quickly at his next match."
