Arthur Fery will now have a different position in the spotlight after his run at Wimbledon this year.
Fery was beaten by Alexander Zverev in the Wimbledon semi-finals, as his breakout run at the grass court major came to an end.
The Briton will now shoot up in the rankings, with Fery being offered advice about what he should do going forward.
Due to both being British players and the surprise nature of their breakthroughs, comparisons between Fery and Raducanu have been made, and he has now revealed his plans to speak to his compatriot in the future.
Arthur Fery names Emma Raducanu and Valentin Vacherot as two players he can take inspiration from
Raducanu won the US Open as a qualifier in 2021, when she was just 18 years old, and since then has been at the centre of the media spotlight.
This pressure has caused Raducanu some difficulties, as she has struggled to replicate similar results in the five years since then.
Who is the most shocking Grand Slam champion ever?
You never know what might happen…
In his post-match press conference, Fery was asked if he is planning on speaking to the likes of Raducanu to get some advice.
Fery suggested that he would and also named Shanghai Masters champion Valentin Vacherot as another player he could take inspiration from.
“Yeah, yeah, yeah,” answered Fery. “Well, the first part of it is having good people around me who are going to help me in that transition.
“Yeah, Emma or guys like Vacherot. He’s done an incredible job. He went from 200 to winning a Masters. Suddenly it almost seemed like his base level switched overnight.
“Now, yeah, that seems like his everyday level. Guys like that, try and take from what they’ve done and do the same.”
Arthur Fery says what he is most proud of after his Wimbledon run
Although Fery was unable to reach the Wimbledon final, it has still been a hugely impressive tournament from the 23-year-old.
When asked about what he is most proud of from his Wimbledon run, Fery pointed to his mindset and fighting spirit.
Where will Arthur Fery be ranked at the end of the year?
He's up 78 places from 114th!
“Most proud of how I handled the progression of the tournament and how I kept going in every match,” said Fery. “Yeah, it would have been easy to just, for example, let Zizou Bergs run away with his two breaks in the fourth and, as you say, go on holiday and come back.
“Yeah, just kept fighting, came back to the match court every time and gave my best. Was mentally locked in. Yeah, lacked a bit of that today. It might have been just a step too far. The opponent was a step up again.
“Yeah, that’s what I was most proud of, never letting go and really pushing myself to the limit.”
Fery will now climb 78 ranking places up from world number 114 to 36, which means that he will now be the new British number one.
