Why Fery’s first-round draw matters
Fery has been handed a demanding first-round assignment against Lorenzo Musetti, the No.13 seed. The Italian brings considerably more Grand Slam experience, while Fery arrives in New York after his breakthrough Wimbledon run. The winner will face either Dane Sweeny or Corentin Moutet in the second round.
His route has not been smooth. Recurring arm trouble disrupted his schedule between 2023 and 2025, and he has acknowledged the uncertainty it created.
