Wimbledon’s<\/a> wildcard Arthur Fery is set to take on Italy\u2019s Flavio Cobolli in the competition quarter-finals on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old left spectators stunned on Monday after securing a place in the third-to-last round in a nail-biting win against Bulgaria\u2019s Grigor Dimitrov, despite only having a world ranking of 114.<\/p>\n

Though it may come as no surprise to some, as Arthur is the product of super-sporty parents, his mother\u00a0was a fellow tennis star who previously played in the French Open doubles.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, his father is Loic Fery, a multimillionaire hedge fund manager who also owns Ligue 1 club Lorient, a French professional association football club based in Brittany.<\/p>\n

Arthur\u2019s father is estimated to be worth \u00a3275 million. He boasts an impressive career as a businessman, having worked as a financial trader in Hong Kong and London.<\/p>\n

In 2007, he even founded his own investment firm, Chenavari, which was named after a peak visible from his childhood home.According to the French business magazine Challenges, Loic was France’s 398th-richest person in 2023 with an impressive net worth of \u20ac320 million (\u00a3275 million), a \u20ac120million increase on his fortune from 2011.<\/p>\n

He was previously married to Arthur\u2019s mother, Olivia Fery, but the two divorced in 2022. The pair share three children, two sons and one daughter, with Arthur as the eldest.<\/p>\n

In 1991, Olivia used her maiden name, Olivia Gravereaux, when she competed in the Women\u2019s doubles at the French Open. It was a career-defining moment for the tennis star, who reached a singles world ranking of 225.<\/p>\n

She later won a national championship in Hong Kong after moving there and competing in the Fed Cup circuit.<\/p>\n

Outside of competing, Olivia has worked for the UK\u2019s Lawn Tennis Association, the sport\u2019s national governing body.<\/p>\n

She herself had been the daughter of tennis greatness, her mother having competed professionally. Olivia said previously: “I\u00a0was never really pushed to play tennis, but my mum was a professional player \u2013 she was very good; that encouraged me.”<\/p>\n

She helped me get going. We had a club just up the hill from Wimbledon called Westside \u2013 50 metres from our house.”They had hard courts and artificial clay. But there was a great coach there and I played with my mum on weekends.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wimbledon’s wildcard Arthur Fery is set to take on Italy\u2019s Flavio Cobolli in the competition quarter-finals on Wednesday.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":790461,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[442],"tags":[49,48,44,82,593,614],"class_list":["post-790460","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-news","tag-sports","tag-tennis","tag-wimbledon"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/790460","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=790460"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/790460\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/790461"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=790460"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=790460"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=790460"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
