Arthur Fery, the fourth-seeded British tennis player, achieved a remarkable comeback to reach his second ATP Tour semifinal at the Winston-Salem Open in North Carolina. Fery, who was previously ranked No. 114 in the world, beat the unseeded Aleksandar Kovacevic 3-6, 7-5, 6-3. This victory marked Fery's first appearance in the semifinals at Wimbledon in the Open Era, a feat he accomplished before losing to Alexander Zverev in the previous semifinal.
With this win, Fery is projected to climb to a career-high ranking of at least No. 35 next week. Fery's performance against Kovacevic was notable, as he managed 17 winners to Kovacevic's 16 despite committing 39 unforced errors compared to Kovacevic's 20.
Fery will face Australia's James Duckworth in the next round of the tournament. Duckworth overcame 15th-seeded Fabian Marozsan of Hungary in a quarterfinal match, winning 6-7 (4), 6-2, 6-4. The other semifinal will see third-seeded Peruvian player Ignacio Buse square off against France's Benjamin Bonzi. Buse edged past eighth-seeded Juan Manuel Cerundolo of Argentina 7-6 (4), 4-6, 6-2, while Bonzi defeated 13th-seeded Botic van de Zandschulp 7-6 (5), 6-4.
