UK's Fery beaten in Cincinnati Open on return after Wimbledon heroics
Arthur Fery failed to replicate his Wimbledon heroics as he marked his return to the court with a straight-sets defeat by fifth seed Alex de Minaur in the Cincinnati Open on Monday. Fery, who shot into the world's top 50 after his stunning run to the semi-final at the All England Club, was playing his first match since that improbable run was ended at the hands of Alexander Zverev.
German tennis star Alexander Zverev displayed resilience in his match against Netherlands' Tallon Griekspoor at the National Bank Open in Montreal. Despite suffering a loss to fifth-seeded Alex de Minaur in the Cincinnati Open on Monday, Zverev's performance echoed his impressive run to the semi-finals at Wimbledon earlier this year.
Fery, who had previously ranked within the world's top 50, returned to the court for his first match since Wimbledon but encountered difficulties, falling to a 7-5, 7-6 (3) defeat. The Cincinnati Open match was affected by three weather delays due to Ohio's unpredictable weather conditions. Meanwhile, top-seeded Alexander Zverev encountered challenges in his encounter with France's Terence Atmane, needing a tie-break to secure a 7-6 (4), 7-6 (6) victory after a two-hour and nine-minute struggle.
