Fery's Wimbledon Dream Fades in Cincinnati Loss
18 Aug
Summary
- Arthur Fery lost to Alex de Minaur in straight sets.
- Fery fought back from 5-1 down in the second set.
- Rain delays impacted the Cincinnati Open schedule.
Arthur Fery's strong Wimbledon performance did not translate to his return match at the Cincinnati Open on Monday, where he suffered a straight-sets loss to fifth seed Alex de Minaur. Fery, who recently entered the world's top 50 following his semi-final appearance at the All England Club, was competing for the first time since that tournament.
Despite showing fighting spirit, including a comeback from 5-1 down in the second set to force a tie-break, Fery was ultimately defeated 7-5, 7-6 (7-3). The match faced significant interruptions due to three rain delays that disrupted the schedule in Ohio.
In the women's singles, top contender Iga Swiatek mounted a comeback against Maria Sakkari, winning 12 of the final 14 games to secure a 4-6, 6-1, 6-1 victory. Other notable results included Elena Rybakina's dominant win and successful outings for Sorana Cirstea and Diane Parry.
