Zverev, an exempt phone, and the small rules that run Wimbledon
Alexander Zverev reached the 2026 Wimbledon men's final after dismissing France's Arthur Fery, the same day BBC Sport explained why the German is exempt from the tournament's in-match mobile phone ban.

This article treats Wimbledon's procedural exemptions — phones, umpires' breaks, the Fery upset — as the throughline of the day rather than the headline, on the grounds that what survives a fortnight is usually the small print rather than the scoreline.
