LONDON — Arthur Fery defeated Adrian Mannarino 7-6 (9-7) 6-4 at the HSBC Championships at Queen's Club. The victory marked Fery's first ATP Tour quarter-final appearance.

Fery, 23, is ranked world number 140 and entered the tournament as a wildcard. He received medical treatment for a nosebleed at the start of the second set during his match against Mannarino on Andy Murray Arena.

"It's special to be playing in London where I grew up and in front of all these British tennis fans," Fery said. He described the win as "the best result of my career so far." Fery added, "It's not been easy, there have been lots of ups and downs so I'm happy to get through."

Regarding the nosebleed, Fery said, "It happens to me quite often. I'm used to it." He continued, "I don't really know why it happens. Maybe nerves. Sometimes tiredness, the heat. I don't know. It happens here and there."

Fery is the British number five tennis player and has received a wildcard for the men's singles at Wimbledon, which begins on June 29. He previously attended Stanford University on a scholarship. His mother, Olivia Fery, was a professional tennis player, and his father, Loic Fery, owns the Ligue 1 football club Lorient.

Former British number one John Lloyd said, "I see no reason why he can't be top 50." Lloyd added, "He's quick, nasty to play against, he moves well, isn't afraid to change it up with the slice, and he likes the big stage."
