Some great defence from Arthur Fery.

He is competing at a high level right now.

When you get to the net you always favour Fery. The drop shots and dinks are not a natural shot for Zverev, whereas Fery is brilliant at the net.

Wham. Arthur Fery is delightful to watch at the net. He undercooked his drop shot a trifle but was quickly up to the net to snap a cross-court backhand volley winner. 30-15.

Fery holds to 30. Tie-break time!

The crowd are sensing the importance of this moment.

A clinical hold to love from Alexander Zverev.

Arthur Fery races to 40-0, deploying the wide serve/cross-court forehand one-two punch to good effect himself. The long-limbed Alexander Zverev, at full stretch, gets the ball back over the net but it was never in danger of going in.

A double fault brings an intake of breath from the Centre Court crowd before Fery is pegged back to 40-30 with a forehand winner from Alexander Zverev.

But the British wildcard holds his nerve.

There is about to be more British semi-final interest at Wimbledon today.

Alfie Hewett will soon take to Court One to take on Argentina's Gustavo Fernandez in their last four meeting in the men's wheelchair singles.

Alexander Zverev ticks through a brisk hold to 15.

Oh, the court had opened up for Alexander Zverev there. He was on top of the baseline exchange, with Arthur Fery struggling to match his depth, but planted his down-the-line forehand into the net. 15-all.

Fery responds with an unreturned serve down the T but then Zverev's forehand fires. 30-all.

Fery showcases his variety, following a serve in and cushioning a drop shot over the net, and completes the hold to 30 with Zverev's return ballooning long.

Never too soon, Pat. And great surname!

Umpire Marijana Veljovic has her work cut out today. Already she's had to ask the crowd to try "if possible" to not react before the end of a point.

That was met with a laugh from the crowd.

Arthur Fery safely navigates deuce and offers another clenched fist towards his box.

The slower serve and the bigger wingspan of Alexander Zverev means that Arthur Fery is not getting many cheap points - he's having to work extremely hard already.

Alexander Zverev offers a hard stare down the court as his looping cross-court forehand is called out. Squinting at the replay... millimetres.

He responds with a booming return and Fery nets his reply. 30-all.

Points are traded again for 40-all, Zverev gobbling up a sliced backhand that sat up in the middle of the court after a baseline exchange. Big forehand.

Wow. We're only into the fifth game and Arthur Fery has the crowd jumping up and down, pumping their fists.
