Arthur Fery, who made a significant impact at Wimbledon, struggled to replicate his success in his return match at the Cincinnati Open on Monday. The British tennis player, who had shot into the world's top 50 after his semi-final run at the All England Club, faced fifth seed Alex de Minaur in a match marked by rain delays. Despite a strong performance in the second set, where he fought back from a 5-1 deficit to force a tie-break, Fery ultimately fell short, losing the match 7-5, 7-6 (7-3).
