Arthur Fery is back again. The big sensation of Wimbledon, the semifinalist of the London Grand Slam, returns to the ATP circuit at the Cincinnati Masters 1000 after a well-deserved vacation. The Brit has moved from being 114th in the ATP ranking to being number 36 and is the 32nd seed of the tournament in Ohio.

He is one of the big names in a tournament where surprises are expected considering the absences of Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, what happened in Montreal, and the proximity of the US Open. But the 24-year-old is not looking to put any pressure on himself and is now focused on maintaining the high level of tennis showcased at Wimbledon.

Arthur Fery remembers his incredible Wimbledon 2026

"I think it was two weeks that definitely changed my life. It was an incredible result, something I didn't expect at all. But, obviously, I am very proud of the achievement and grateful to have had all the pieces of the puzzle fall into place at the same time. And now I am excited to get back on the circuit and start this tournament."

Arthur Fery explains the reasons for his success at Wimbledon

"I would say it was about staying healthy. I had been dealing with an arm injury for a long time. It was great that that issue disappeared heading into the grass season. I was able to play many matches and very long encounters consecutively. That really helped me."

"I also had a bit of luck with some matches that ended up going my way in the final moments. In many encounters, I was behind on the scoreboard, but I fought hard and won by very little in some of them. These are matches that can go either way. That week, they went my way."

Arthur Fery is aware that expectations and opinions will increase

"It was my first experience really being in the media spotlight like that. And I was very happy to experience it at home, in front of all the British fans, perhaps proud to represent Great Britain. I will have to get used to it. It’s something that builds up gradually over time."

"I feel like I have been building my tennis in that way for several years, trying to manage all the pressure and expectations, both mine and those of my team and the people from outside. Now the general public is also paying more attention to what I do. So it will be something I have to get used to. But I have always been someone who enjoys big stages and playing in front of people. I hope that remains the case," concludes a Arthur Fery ready to move from promise to reality at the Cincinnati Masters 1000.
