British wild card Arthur Fery is one of four players with a golden opportunity to make the Wimbledon final for the first time.
Carlos Alcaraz's withdrawal ahead of this tournament robbed the men's competition of reigning champion Jannik Sinner's main rival. The draw then placed seven-time Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic on the same side of the draw as Sinner, giving this year's championship a very lopsided feel to it.

The four quarter finalists -- Fery, Flavio Cobolli, Alexander Zverev and Taylor Fritz, on the other side of the draw will play on Wednesday.
Here's a look at all of them, how they got there and what they've said so far about their chances.

In the process Fery, who was already the only Brit to make it past the second round, became the first wild card to make a quarter final since 2014. Fery has the unenviable weight of being Britain's last remaining hope in the competition, but still is the overwhelming underdog given that he was almost a complete unknown outside of hardcore tennis circles a week ago.
The French-born Fery moved to Wimbledon as a boy and now competes under the British flag.
He still lives locally, saying how nice it is to drive home to his own bed after matches. A weird quirk so far -- and something to watch out for -- is the severe nosebleeds Fery has picked up at points in his matches, especially at moments of high stress. The diminutive Brit -- who is listed at 5-foot-9-inches -- has played Cobolli only once before, at this year's Australian Open, where he won in the first round.
A repeat of that win would likely be one of the great upsets of the tournament's recent history and continue his so-called "Ferytale" run.
What he said: "It's going to be a good match regardless. I'm expecting it to be very, very difficult and different to Australia. Completely different conditions. I'm sure he's going to be at 100% of his capacities here, which maybe he wasn't quite 100% in Australia. I played really well in Australia.
