Overview
- Fery swept past Cobolli 7-6 (7-1) 6-4 6-1 on John Cain Arena to deliver the tournament's first notable men's upset.
- Two lengthy video reviews in the first set, including a replayed underarm serve due to a moving ballkid, ultimately favored Fery.
- Cobolli sought medical attention for an upset stomach and later took a timeout, but he could not halt Fery's momentum.
- The 23-year-old Brit qualified without dropping a set and adds this win to last year's Wimbledon first-round defeat of No. 20 seed Alexei Popyrin.
- Fery will face Tomas Martin Etcheverry in the second round, with his mother Olivia watching after flying in following his qualifying run.
