De Minaur advances to final 16 at Cincinnati in US Open warm-up event
Alex de Minaur has seen off the rain and top-ranked Brit Arthur Fery to continue his campaign at the US Open warm-up event in Cincinnati.
Alex de Minaur, an Australian tennis player, advanced to the round of 16 at the Cincinnati Open, a warm-up event for the US Open. He defeated top-ranked British player Arthur Fery in the round of 32 with a score of 7-5, 7-6 (7-3), despite the match being delayed multiple times due to rain. Fery, who reached the Wimbledon semifinals as a wildcard, had not played since Alexander Zverev's victory over him, which propelled him to the world ranking of number 36.
Prior to his win over Fery, compatriot Rinky Hijikata lost to Jakub Mensik 6-3, 6-4, and Fery's spot in the round of 16 is now secured by fellow French player Arthur Fils. De Minaur acknowledges the difficulty of the match, stating that he had to dig deep and reset after a poor start due to early rain delays. He expresses confidence in his performance and hopes to continue improving in the remaining rounds.
