Overview
- Buse defeated Benjamin Bonzi 6-2, 4-6, 6-1 to reach the Winston‑Salem Open final, a match reported across multiple outlets on Friday night.
- Earlier in the week he beat Juan Manuel Cerúndolo in a rain‑interrupted three‑set match to reach his first ATP semifinal on hard court.
- By reaching the final Buse has secured $64,465 and 165 ATP points, and his live ranking moves him to around No. 31 with a Top‑30 jump possible if he wins the title.
- He will face Britain’s Arthur Fery in the final scheduled for Saturday, and Fery advanced after James Duckworth retired in the other semifinal.
- The run highlights Buse’s transition from clay success to faster surfaces and marks the first time a Peruvian has reached an ATP final on hard courts since 2004, giving him momentum before the US Open where he is seeded No. 32.
