GB's Fery beats Kovacevic to reach Winston-Salem semi-final
Britain's Arthur Fery comes from a set down to beat Aleksandar Kovacevic and book his place in the semi-finals of the Winston-Salem Open.
Arthur Fery, the fourth seed, upset Aleksandar Kovacevic to secure a spot in the semi-finals of the Winston-Salem Open. The match took place in North Carolina, with Fery claiming a 3-6, 7-5, 6-3 victory in Thursday's last-eight encounter. Having broken Kovacevic to secure the second set, Fery took a commanding 3-0 lead in the third, finishing the match with a serving ace.
The 24-year-old will face James Duckworth in the semi-finals, after the Australian defeated 15th seed Fabian Marozsan 6-7 (4-7), 6-2, 6-4. Fery's impressive run to the Wimbledon semi-finals this summer propelled him to the world rankings' top 40, currently placing him at 37th. He missed out on the final Grand Slam of the year, the US Open, and has been drawn against 13th seed Lorenzo Musetti in the opening round.
