The victory was marked by Zverev's dominant performance, with him topping Fery in aces (9-5) and winners (44-16). He converted four of eight break point opportunities in the two-hour, 14-minute match. 'This Grand Slam has always been the one I struggled with the most,' Zverev said on the ESPN broadcast. 'Now, all of a sudden I'm in the final of Wimbledon.'
Zverev will face either world No. 1 Jannik Sinner or No. 8 Novak Djokovic in the men's singles final on Sunday. The German player has a less favorable head-to-head record against both, with a 5-9 record against Djokovic and a 4-10 record against Sinner.
Fery, who entered the tournament ranked 114th in the world, made an impressive run to the semi-finals. He is the first British wildcard to reach the semi-finals at a Grand Slam in the open era. His journey has drawn comparisons to the 2004 film 'Wimbledon,' where a wildcard entry goes on to win the tournament.
