Wimbledon 2026: Arthur Fery faces Grigor Dimitrov on Centre Court for quarter-final spot

Over the British grass-court swing, there has been another unusual health issue.

Fery started suffering nosebleeds at Queen’s last month and they have continued during his matches at Wimbledon.

Fery says he does not know the cause of the problem but plans to “figure it out” after the tournament.

Nosebleeds are generally caused by several factors – which include increased blood pressure, irritation from allergies like hayfever, or dehydration.

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.

Jonathan Joseph, an experienced consultant ear, nose and throat surgeon, says stress can be a factor behind nose bleeds.

“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.

“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.”

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.
