FERY CREDITS NOSE OPERATION AND GODFATHER FILMS FOR WIMBLEDON RUN

Arthur Fery has attributed his progress to the Wimbledon semi-finals to a nose operation and watching the Godfather trilogy. The British player faces Alexander Zverev on Friday in what he has described as the biggest match of his career. Fery revealed that nosebleeds, which had previously affected his play, have stopped following the procedure. He cited the films as part of his mental preparation for the tournament's latter stages.

Fery's run through the draw represents a significant achievement for the British player at the championships. The nose operation addressed a recurring physical issue that had impacted his performance during matches. Zverev, the French Open champion, represents a substantial challenge in the semi-final. Fery's preparations have combined both medical intervention and psychological techniques to ready himself for the fixture.

The semi-final match will take place on Friday as part of the tournament's scheduled progression. Fery's willingness to discuss both the surgical intervention and his film-based mental approach reflects his focus on the upcoming fixture. The result will determine whether Fery advances to the final at the All England Club.
