​British wildcard Arthur Fery will look to extend his remarkable Wimbledon journey as he faces Flavio Cobolli in the quarter-finals of his home Grand Slam. The 114th-ranked Fery has been a trailblazer throughout the tournament, and his run to the last eight marks his first-ever progression to the quarter-finals of a major. The French-born Brit, who grew up just a short drive away from the Was, has twice clawed his way back from two sets down and recovered multiple breaks to win matches, including a dramatic upset over former semi-finalist Grigor Dimitrov in a fiercely contested fourth-round encounter on Monday.
Up next for Fery is the in-form Cobolli, who has impressed since reaching the French Open final and who also made the quarter-finals at Wimbledon last year. Cobolli, however, is the man Fery has already beaten this year, having claimed a victory over the Italian in their only prior meeting at the Australian Open in January, a match in which Cobolli battled stomach troubles throughout. The Fery-Cobolli clash is scheduled as the second match on Centre Court on Wednesday 8 July, and is expected to begin shortly after 3pm.
Wednesday’s order of play will follow the women’s quarter-final, in which 12th seed Marta Kostyuk edged 13th seed and former finalist Jasmine Paolini 6-3 6-2. Fans can anticipate Fery and Cobolli to take the court soon after 3pm, with the players having met just once before—on Australian Open territory in January—where Fery won in straight sets, 7-6(1) 6-4 6-1.
The day’s schedule for Day 10, Wednesday 8 July, places Centre Court as the main stage for the afternoon’s action:
– 1:30pm start: Marta Kostyuk (Ukraine) [12] vs Jasmine Paolini (Italy) [13]
– Flavio Cobolli (Italy) [9] vs Arthur Fery (Great Britain)
Meanwhile, Court specifics feature a lineup of other high-profile ties and matches across Wimbledon’s arenas, including:

The full schedule also includes other afternoon fixtures and potential matchups in the lower courts, with other notable British players and international contenders in action across multiple venues. Fery and Cobolli’s quarter-final will be a critical test for both, with Fery aiming to translate his extraordinary home-court support and momentum into a first Wimbledon semi-final, while Cobolli looks to build on a stellar season that has already seen him reach major rounds and assert himself among the game’s rising talents. This match promises high intensity, tactical battles, and moments of pressure as two young talents vie for a place in the Wimbledon semi-finals on one of sport’s most storied stages.
