Catherine, David and Matt react to British wildcard Arthur Fery reaching the Wimbledon semi-finals.
There’s chat about the way he completely outplayed a disappointing Flavio Cobolli, his remarkable self-assuredness and confidence in press, and how his game might stack up against Alexander Zverev, who emphatically ended his recent streak of losses to Taylor Fritz, in the semi-finals.
We also run through a long list of possible Fery-related puns for the British media as this story takes over the back pages.
On the women’s side, we discuss a couple of excellent performances from Marta Kostyuk and Linda Noskova to set up a semi-final meeting.
How did Kostyuk take over her match against Jasmine Paolini with her forehand? Will Kostyuk be better prepared for this semi-final after her experience in Paris? How does Noskova’s game just seem to suit the grass? And who will have the edge when they face off on Thursday?
We also make our predictions for Coco Gauff vs Karolina Muchova.
