29 Aug
Summary
- Arthur Fery lost the Winston-Salem Open final to Ignacio Buse.
- Fery will become British number one, ranked 33 globally.
- Ignacio Buse is the youngest winner of the Winston-Salem tournament.
Arthur Fery fell short of securing his first ATP Tour title, losing to Ignacio Buse of Peru in the Winston-Salem Open final with a score of 6-3, 6-2. This defeat, which occurred recently, means Fery will not add this ATP 250 tournament trophy to his burgeoning career.
Despite the final loss, Fery's performance propels him to a career-high ranking of 33 in the world, surpassing Cameron Norrie to become the British number one. This significant jump comes just eight weeks after he was ranked outside the top 100, following his semi-final appearance at Wimbledon.
Ignacio Buse, at 22 years old, marked a historic victory, becoming the youngest ever champion of the Winston-Salem tournament. This win adds to his impressive season, including a previous title in Hamburg. Fery now sets his sights on the upcoming US Open, his first appearance at Flushing Meadows, where he faces a challenging first-round match against Lorenzo Musetti.
