It would have been perfectly reasonable for Arthur Fery to have finally betrayed a few nerves as he stood a point away from establishing a two-set lead in his first grand slam quarter-final. Any tension or fear he may have felt, however, was completely overpowered by his unwavering self-belief and certainty that has defined the greatest fortnight of his life.Leading by a set and 6-4 in the second set tie-break, Fery leapt forward to meet Flavio Cobolli’s second serve on the rise, and he immediately followed up his sweet backhand return by sweeping forward to the net. Fery’s subsequent backhand…

There’s nothing quite like a quintessentially English summer of sport. Strawberries at Wimbledon, leather on willow, pubs open until 5am, and all underpinned by the heart-rending saga of Bob the cat, Arthur “Nosebleeds” Fery and Harry (future president) Kane when, blow me, Nigel Farage resigns. Scotland may have had a disastrous World Cup, but it’s all very entertaining.Alex DickieEdinburgh Marina Hyde’s article (So it’s Trump 1, Belgium 4 – and the world rejoices. Nothing like failed chicanery to bring us together, is there?, 7 July) encouraging us to “enjoy the moment” brought to mind my dad’s comments when we played games as…
Jeff Jarrett knows fans still have love for the old TNA Impact! video game, but the reason it never got a sequel had nothing to do with the game failing. During a Dark Side of the Ring Q&A in New York, Jarrett was asked about the original TNA Impact! game after a fan brought up how underrated it was and why TNA never followed it up with TNA Impact! 2. Jarrett said Midway Games came to TNA because they genuinely loved the brand and wanted to understand what made it different from WWE. Jarrett said Midway got deeply involved in…
“We’ve got to be careful with that because then these national opens lose the fabric of what they are,” said McIlroy, the two-time Masters champion.”You can’t call yourself a national open any more if it’s a closed-off tournament and there’s a certain number of guys.”These events need to be treated differently than the Travelers Championship or RBC Heritage or whatever else is going to be in the Championship series.”The Scottish Open has been co-sanctioned by the PGA and DP World Tours since 2022.That means it can be played by members of either tour if they are ranked high enough to…

Nikki Blackheart has confirmed the name Reina Volcan belongs to her. She pens: Nikki Blackheart, thank you for one hell of a ride. When I first chose the name, I remember asking my coach Gangrel what he thought. He had been part of The Blackhearts in Japan, so his opinion meant a lot. He didn’t hesitate. He told me, “Do it.” Then said, “Just make sure you represent it well.” From that day on, I did my best to live up to those words. My gear girl, Chelsea, made me this top a while ago, and I could never find…
Nearly four hours into the most significant occasion of his career, deep into a fifth‑set tie-break against a storied opponent he has spent his lifetime watching, what did Arthur Fery have left for both himself and the home crowd on his Centre Court debut? Plenty. At six points all, after a change of ends that provided him with so much time to overthink everything, he stepped up to the baseline and fired an ace down the T.It took courage for Fery to go toe‑to‑toe with one of the top players for most of the past decade, a former world No…
