Wimbledon 2026 is shaping up to be a tournament of surprises and upsets, with several underdogs making their way through to the quarter-finals. The singles draw has seen some unexpected results, with local hero Arthur Fery, who was born in France but grew up less than a mile from the All England Club, reaching the quarter-finals after a series of comeback wins. Fery's path to the last eight has been nothing short of remarkable, and his calmness and belief in himself have been key to his success. In the women's draw, Linda Noskova and Elise Mertens are both making their Wimbledon quarter-final debuts, with Noskova having impressed at the Australian Open earlier this year and Mertens having taken out former champion Elena Rybakina in the third round. The doubles draw has also seen some surprises, with the defending men's champions, Britain's Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool, just getting under way in their quarter-final. The tournament is shaping up to be a thrilling and unpredictable event, with several underdogs making their mark and setting the stage for some exciting matches in the quarter-finals and beyond.
