He grew up only five minutes away from the All England Club.<\/p>\n

On Monday, the tables were turned when Federer was in attendance watching Fery on the sport\u2019s most famous court as he became the first British wild card to reach the quarterfinals at a Grand Slam in the professional era (since 1968).<\/p>\n

Fery beat fellow wild Grigor Dimitrov \u2014 a former top-five player \u2014 7-5, 3-6, 4-6, 6-4, 7-6 (7).<\/p>\n

When it was over Fery, dropped his racket to the grass and held his hands up in disbelief.<\/p>

\u201cWe\u2019ve got probably the greatest of all time watching in the front row over there,\u201d Fery said, nodding in Federer\u2019s direction. \u201cAnd now playing here in front of all you guys, having the support and winning, it\u2019s unbelievable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fery\u2019s quarterfinal opponent will be Flavio Cobolli<\/a> , who beat Alex de Minaur.<\/p>\n

Fery beat Cobolli in straight sets in the first round of this year\u2019s Australian Open after coming through qualifying.<\/p>\n

\u201c(In) Australia I was sick,\u201d Cobolli said. \u201cOf course, Arthur is amazing player, but that match I couldn\u2019t play.\u201d<\/p>
