Fery seeded at Cincinnati Masters — two months after ranking outside top 150

Arthur Fery returned to action at the Cincinnati Open seeded 32nd at a Masters 1000 — the tier below the Grand Slams — for the first time, earning a first-round bye. The 24-year-old arrived at a career-high No 36. He sat outside the top 150 at the start of the 2026 grass-court season. A potential third-round meeting with fifth seed Alex de Minaur awaits.
