Over the British grass-court swing, there has been another unusual health issue.<\/p>\n
Fery started suffering nosebleeds at Queen’s last month and they have continued during his matches at Wimbledon.<\/p>\n
Fery says he does not know the cause of the problem but plans to “figure it out” after the tournament.<\/p>\n
Nosebleeds are generally caused by several factors – which include increased blood pressure, irritation from allergies like hayfever, or dehydration.<\/p>\n
Ward suggested it might be down to the “heightened senses” Fery is feeling in what has been the most successful run of his professional career.<\/p>\n
Jonathan Joseph, an experienced consultant ear, nose and throat surgeon, says stress can be a factor behind nose bleeds.<\/p>\n
“In all sorts of different areas of medicine, stress makes a problem worse than it would have been – including nose bleeds,” Joseph, a rhinologist at University College London NHS Hospitals and The London Clinic, told BBC Sport.<\/p>\n
“People who are about to take a major exam, they can get a nosebleed just because of the stress. It is the same for tennis players.”<\/p>\n
Whatever Fery’s issue is, he will be hoping the only nosebleed territory he experiences on Monday is the quarter-finals of a Grand Slam.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Over the British grass-court swing, there has been another unusual health issue.
