GB's Fery beaten in his first ATP Tour final
Arthur Fery misses out on his first ATP Tour title with a straight-set defeat by Ignacio Buse in the final of the Winston-Salem Open.
Arthur Fery failed to secure his first ATP Tour title, falling to Ignacio Buse in the final of the Winston-Salem Open. Fery, who had reached the semi-finals of Wimbledon earlier this year, lost 6-3, 6-2 to Buse from Peru. The 24-year-old British player was the first Briton to advance to the final of an ATP 250 tournament in North Carolina, pushing him up to the 33rd position in the world rankings.
Buse claimed his second career title, becoming the youngest winner of Winston-Salem and marking a second victory after his win over Tommy Paul at the ATP 500 event in Hamburg in May. Fery, now set to compete in the US Open, will face a challenging first-round match against Italian 13th seed Lorenzo Musetti at Flushing Meadows.
