Arthur Fery pulls off quarterfinal comeback at Winston-Salem Open

Arthur Fery, who made a memorable run to his first ATP Tour semifinal ​appearance last month, is headed to ‌his second semifinal after advancing at the Winston-Salem Open on Thursday in North Carolina.

The fourth-seeded ​Briton rallied to beat Aleksandar ​Kovacevic 3-6, 7-5, 6-3 in the quarter finals.

Fery, ⁠then ranked No. 114 in the ​world, became the first unseeded British player ​to reach the semifinals at Wimbledon in the Open Era before he lost to Alexander Zverev ​in the semifinals.

With his latest win, ​he will rise to a career-high ranking of ‌at ⁠least No. 35 next week.

Fery had 17 winners to Kovacevic’s 16, but the American committed 39 unforced errors to Fery’s ​20.
