Arthur Fery becomes British No. 1 despite Winston-Salem final loss

Arthur Fery lost the Winston-Salem Open final 6-3 6-2 to Peru's Ignacio Buse on 29 August 2026, but rose to a career-high world ranking of 33, overtaking Cameron Norrie as British No. 1. Eight weeks earlier, Fery sat outside the top 100. The 24-year-old Wimbledon semi-finalist now faces 13th seed Lorenzo Musetti in his US Open main-draw debut at Flushing Meadows.
