Arthur Fery said he will not pay attention to any social media hype surrounding his breakthrough run at Wimbledon, and claimed he is ready for the elevated attention that comes with being the only British singles player in the second week when he faces Grigor Dimitrov in the fourth round.

Fery will break new ground on Monday as he competes in the second week of a grand slam tournament for the first time in his career after rolling through three wins last week. He had never previously passed the second round of a grand slam championship and so this run has naturally generated much attention.
