Arthur Fery has pledged to remain humble following his unexpected run to the semi-finals at Wimbledon. The British player entered the tournament as a wildcard ranked 114th in the world and is set to jump to 36th in the rankings after his performance. His progress at the Grand Slam has earned him £900,000 in prize money.
Fery, who turned 24 on the day of his semi-final appearance, is the son of Loic Fery, a multi-millionaire and president of French football club Lorient. Despite the financial support and new earning potential, Arthur has said he does not plan to make any extravagant purchases. He already owns a car and is currently renting accommodation. While he has mentioned the possibility of investing in property, he remains undecided.
Taking inspiration from fellow British tennis player Jack Draper, Fery referenced Draper’s modest lifestyle, noting that Draper continues to drive a Volkswagen Polo despite his greater tennis success. Fery has chosen to keep his 2020 Mini Cooper and emphasized his intention to maintain a grounded approach despite his rising profile.
Fery acknowledged the next stage of the tournament, saying he would watch the final or parts of it after Alexander Zverev, who defeated him, faces the defending champion Jannik Sinner. However, he also expressed a desire to take a break from tennis to reset mentally in the coming weeks.
His remarkable Wimbledon run has quickly made Fery a player to watch as he steps up to higher competition and broader attention on the professional circuit.
