Arthur Fery vs Jacob Fearnley prediction

Arthur Ferry was an early casualty at the Lyon Open last week, following a disappointing loss to Borna Gojo. The 24-year-old has lost three of his last four matches overall, but he will be hoping to end his breakthrough season strongly with a deep run in Vienna. Fery reached the Wimbledon semi-finals this year and also progressed to his first tour-level final at the Winston-Salem Open.

He faces compatriot Jacob Fearnley. The 25-year-old qualified after impressive victories over Pablo Carreno Busta and Lorenzo Sonego. He also advanced to a final on the Challenger Tour in Olbia earlier this month, losing out to Damir Dzumhur. Fearnley carried that momentum into Brussels, beating Hugo Gaston before a loss to Clement Chidekh.

Fearnley’s recent Challenger success and qualifying victories should make this competitive, and he will look to extend the rallies with his movement and consistency. Nevertheless, Fery’s aggressive returning could provide the decisive advantage.
