FERY ADVANCES TO WIMBLEDON ROUND THREE DESPITE NOSEBLEED

Arthur Fery defeated Otto Virtanen 5-7, 7-6 (3), 6-3, 6-3 to reach the third round of Wimbledon. Fery, who was born in France but raised in Britain, progressed despite suffering a nosebleed during the match. The victory provided British representation in the later stages of the tournament on Thursday.

Katie Swan was eliminated from the competition after losing to Madison Keys 6-1, 6-4 in the second round. The match took place on No 1 Court, where the Princess of Wales attended to observe British players' progress. Swan's defeat meant the Princess of Wales had limited time on court following the British interest.

Fery's progression to round three marks a significant continuation of British participation in the men's singles draw. The result occurred on a day when the Princess of Wales was conducting a roving mission to follow British players across the grounds.
