Wimbledon 'Fery-tale' crushed ruthlessly by Zverev

Zverev now becomes the first German man since Boris Becker in 1995 to make the final here, while joining an elite group who've reached the championship match at each of the grand slams.

"It's amazing," Zverev told the Centre Court crowd. "This was always the one grand slam I struggled with the most and all of a sudden I'm in the final of Wimbledon. I'm incredibly happy, but we have one more match on Sunday."

Zverev will play either Novak Djokovic or champion Jannik Sinner, who were meeting in the other semi-final later on Friday. (Saturday AEST)

""Arthur is an unbelievable player. I think he's going to be a senior citizen on our tour because I think he's going to play for 15 years plus and I really think he's going to do amazing things in this sport."
