Britain’s Arthur Fery says he will use the crowd to “my advantage” against Germany’s Alexander Zverev in their Wimbledon semi-final on Friday.<\/p>\n

Wild card Fery is on a remarkable run after winning back-to-back five-set matches to reach the quarter-finals then beating French Open runner-up Flavio Cobolli in the last eight in straight sets<\/a> on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

But French Open champion Zverev will be another step up in quality as Fery looks to become just the second Briton after Andy Murray to reach the men’s singles Wimbledon final in tennis’ Open era, which began in 1968.<\/p>\n

“I have the crowd behind me here, which is a huge help, especially on Centre Court, when you have so many people pushing me,” said Fery.<\/p>\n

“I’ve been trying to use the crowd to my advantage in important moments, just to add a little pressure maybe to the opponents. I’ll try and do that again at moments that feel right on Friday.”<\/p>\n

Zverev says there will be a “great atmosphere” which he will “enjoy” despite most spectators being on Fery’s side.<\/p>\n

“I’m almost 30 years old. I’ve been on tour for long enough. I feel like I’ve seen the most hostile crowds, I’ve seen tough crowds, I’ve seen unfair crowds as well,” he said.<\/p>\n
