Buse outduels Fery to win ATP Winston-Salem title
MIAMI: Peru’s Ignacio Buse defeated Britain’s Arthur Fery in straight sets to win his second title of the season with victory at the ATP Tour’s Winston-Salem Open on Saturday.
Peruvian tennis player Ignacio Buse clinched victory over British opponent Arthur Fery in a decisive manner, clinching his second title of the season by winning the ATP Winston-Salem Open on Saturday. The 22-year-old from Lima, who claimed his maiden ATP title at Hamburg in May, overwhelmed the surprise Wimbledon semi-finalist Fery with a 6-3, 6-2 score.
Buse, currently ranked 36th globally, sealed his win on the third match point when Fery mishit a backhand long. French-born Fery had made a remarkable run to the last four at Wimbledon last month, succumbing to Germany's Alexander Zverev. Fery started strongly in the final in North Carolina, exchanging serves in the first seven games.
However, Buse broke at the eighth attempt to lead 5-3, and solidified his lead with a 3-0 advantage at the start of the second set. Despite Fery's efforts to reclaim one of those breaks, Buse eventually broke again to take a 5-2 lead before clinching the match. Both athletes will now participate in the US Open's first round in New York.
