Grigor Dimitrov vs Arthur Fery — R16 — Wimbledon

Nineteen aces to seven, 72 winners to 36, 81% of first-serve points won to 68%, even the raw points count (169 to 157) — Grigor Dimitrov owned nearly every column and still walked out of Wimbledon after 3 hours and 55 minutes, beaten 7-5, 3-6, 4-6, 6-4, 7-6(7). Arthur Fery, a 67% underdog with the market in the pair's first meeting on record, countered with subtraction: zero double faults across five sets against Dimitrov's seven, and 56% of second-serve points won to the Bulgarian's 45%. Then the fifth tilted. Fery broke in game 6 for 4-2, Dimitrov dragged the set back to a tiebreak, and Fery finished it there — his second straight five-set, final-breaker escape after edging Bergs 7-6(5) in the fifth two rounds earlier.
