Jaime Faria vs Arthur Fery prediction

Arthur Fery will hope to take advantage of a change to the draw in Tokyo.

The Brit was due for a tough assignment against Lorenzo Musetti, who defeated him comfortably at the US Open, but the Italian’s withdrawal means he will now be the favourite in a first meeting with lucky loser Jaime Faria.

The Portuguese sits at a career-high just outside the top 60 and recently made waves with a run to the round of 16 in Cincinnati.

That surge included a win over US Open finalist Ben Shelton and will serve as a warning to Fery that it won’t be easy on this surface.

The Brit will be eager to put his US Open disappointment behind him after supreme runs at Wimbledon and Winston-Salem and with the top 30 in his sights, we feel he’ll be motivated to do some damage in this draw.
