Arthur Fery’s Winston-Salem final: how to watch on 29 August

Arthur Fery will contest his first ATP Tour final against third seed Ignacio Buse on Saturday, 29 August, at the Winston-Salem Open venue in Winston-Salem, United States. The match is scheduled for 21:00 UTC and will be shown live on Sky Sports and NOW TV.

The LTA report does not provide a ticket price, booking route, street address, transport guidance or accessibility details for spectators planning to attend in person. For viewers following British tennis or emerging ATP Tour contenders, the confirmed broadcast offers the clearest way to watch the final.

Duckworth retirement sends Fery into his first final

Fery advanced after James Duckworth retired during their semi-final. The 24-year-old Briton had won the opening set 6-4 and was trailing 1-2 in the second when the world No.79 took a medical timeout and withdrew.

“I’m really happy to be in the final,” Fery said afterwards, while acknowledging that it was not how he wanted the match to finish. He felt he had played well in a difficult opening set, finding the decisive break despite Duckworth’s strong serving.

The result gives Fery his first opportunity to win an ATP Tour title. It also extends a season in which he has moved from a notable Wimbledon run into regular matches at the highest level of the men’s tour.

Four victories have built the Winston-Salem run

Fery’s route to the ATP 250 Winston-Salem Final has included victories over Cruz Hewitt, Mees Rottgering, Aleksandr Kovacevic and Duckworth. The semi-final was also his second recent encounter with Duckworth after Fery defeated the Australian to record his first ATP Masters 1000 win at the Cincinnati Open.

That progress follows Fery’s Wimbledon campaign, where he became only the second wild-card entrant to reach the semi-finals. The run moved the former British No.1 inside the world’s top 40 and created further opportunities at ATP level.

Winston-Salem is now his first tour-level title match. A win over Buse would give Fery the first ATP Tour trophy of his career before he turns his attention to the final Grand Slam of the season.

First meeting with third seed Ignacio Buse

Saturday’s final will be the first match between Fery and Buse. Fery described his opponent as a young player who is breaking through and said he expected another difficult contest.

Buse enters as the tournament’s third seed, while Fery arrives after navigating four opponents with different levels of experience. With no previous head-to-head match to examine, the final presents a new tactical test for both players.

Fery said he would sit down with his coach to identify what he could do to beat Buse. The immediate prize is straightforward: one of the two will leave Winston-Salem with the title.
