Arthur Fery is eliminated in the US Open first round in New York, losing to the world No. 14 in a match played on a humid day. The report describes the defeat as a setback for the British number one.
The loss comes about two months after Fery’s notable Wimbledon run, where he enters the tournament as a wildcard and reaches the semi-finals. Ahead of the US Open, he is close to receiving a seeded berth, according to the coverage. Both sources focus on the contrast between that earlier momentum and the straight first-round exit, with the opponent’s performance characterized as comfortable while Fery’s defeat ends his campaign early.
