Arthur Fery’s Winston-Salem final: how to watch

Fery reaches the final after Duckworth retires

Fery advanced from his semi-final when Australia’s James Duckworth retired during the second set. The 24-year-old Briton had won the opening set and the score stood at 6-4, 1-2 when Duckworth took a medical timeout before ending the match.

Although the contest finished earlier than expected, Fery had already secured the decisive break in a closely fought first set. He said afterward that he was pleased to reach the final but regretted the circumstances of Duckworth’s retirement.

The result completed a run in which Fery defeated Cruz Hewitt, Mees Rottgering and Aleksandar Kovacevic before progressing past Duckworth. It also extended a season in which he recorded his first ATP Masters 1000 victory at the Cincinnati Open, beating the same Australian opponent.

First meeting with third seed Ignacio Buse

Saturday’s final will be the first match between Fery and Buse. The British player described his opponent as a young player enjoying a breakthrough week and said he would work with his coach to prepare a plan for the encounter.

The title match gives Fery an opportunity to win his first ATP Tour trophy. It is also his first final at this level, adding another milestone after his Wimbledon run earlier in the summer.

At Wimbledon, Fery became only the second wildcard entry to reach the semi-finals. That performance carried him inside the world’s top 40 and provided the platform for his subsequent appearances in Cincinnati and Winston-Salem.
