Overview
- Buse defeated Benjamin Bonzi 6-2, 4-6, 6-1 to reach the Winston‑Salem ATP 250 final, a result that secures the reported finalist payout of $64,465 and 165 ranking points.
- He will face Britain’s Arthur Fery in the final after Fery advanced when James Duckworth retired, with the match scheduled for Saturday in Winston‑Salem and set to be shown on ESPN, Disney+ and Tennis TV.
- The run continues a career-best 2026 season for Buse that includes his first ATP title in Hamburg in May and a rise from outside the Top 100 to roughly the mid-30s in the ATP rankings.
- If Buse wins the title he is projected to move into the ATP Top 30 for the first time, a shift that would affect his seeding and ranking position heading into the US Open.
- Buse is the first Peruvian to reach an ATP final on hard courts since 2004, and his performance both boosts his earnings and raises expectations for his US Open start against Marcos Giron.
