Britain's Arthur Fery may not have succeeded in his quest to become only the second ever wildcard to win the Men's Singles title at Wimbledon, after semi-final defeat to Alexander Zverev, but he certainly won't be going home empty handed.
In the space of a fortnight, the 23-year-old has captured the hearts of a nation, defeating the likes of former World Number 3 Grigor Dimitrov in a five set epic, and French Open finalist Flavio Cobolli, on the way to Friday's semi-final.
According to BBC Sport, Fery has earned an eye-watering £900,000 worth of prize money for his efforts, which is significantly more than he had earned throughout the rest of his career put together (£650,000).
Fans will hope that with his new earnings on-side, Fery will be able to up his game further after this week's inspirational run.
After all, it has been a decade since SW19 was last treated to a British winner.
