Fery vs Hewitt Prediction 25 August 2026
🔊 Arthur Fery arrives in Winston-Salem on the back of the best result of his career: in July he reached the Wimbledon semi-finals as a wildcard, beating Grigor Dimitrov and ninth seed Flavio Cobolli along the way. Cruz Hewitt is ranked well outside the top 100, but this summer he reached the last 16 at the ATP 500 in Washington through qualifying, and this week picked up his first win in Winston-Salem.
Head-to-Head
📊 Fery and Hewitt have never met before.
Arthur Fery Player Overview
On hard courts this season, Fery has gone 9-5, holding serve in 77% of his service games and breaking in 27% of return games. A week ago in Cincinnati, he beat James Duckworth in three sets before losing two tight sets to fifth seed Alex de Minaur (5-7, 6-7).
The highlight of his season came earlier, at Wimbledon: entering on a wild card, Fery beat Zizou Bergs and Grigor Dimitrov in five-set matches, then defeated ninth seed Flavio Cobolli in the quarter-finals, before falling to eventual finalist Alexander Zverev in the semis. For a player who had never previously gone beyond the first round at a Grand Slam, it was a leap into entirely new territory.
Match Results: Arthur Fery
Cruz Hewitt Player Overview
The son of tennis legend Lleyton Hewitt is making his way up through qualifying: in late July he came through qualifying in Washington, beating the top qualifying seed Zachary Svajda and then Marcos Giron, before losing to top seed Alex de Minaur in the round of 16 (2-6, 3-6). On hard courts this season he has a 16-11 record, holding serve in 76% of service games.
His results at the ITF event in Southaven in early August were mixed - he beat Leo Borg and Axel Nefve, but lost to Clément Chidekh in the quarter-finals. The day before, in Winston-Salem, he had already won his opening match against Sebastian Gorzny in three sets - and on a wild card he continues in the draw, where today he faces the highest-ranked opponent of his summer.
Match Results: Cruz Hewitt
Key factors
- Fery reached the Wimbledon semi-finals in July, beating Cobolli and Dimitrov along the way.
- Hewitt reached the last 16 of the ATP 500 in Washington this summer after coming through qualifying.
- On hard courts this season, Fery has a record of nine wins and five losses; Hewitt stands at 16 wins and 11 losses.
- Hewitt had already won his first-round match in Winston-Salem the day before.
Expected scenario
Hewitt holds serve reasonably well, but Fery breaks at a high rate. If Hewitt can't lift his serving above his usual level, there could be plenty of breaks in this match - and with them, a sizeable gap in the scoreline.
⭐ Editor's Prediction
Fery arrives at this match on the back of the best result of his career - a Wimbledon semi-final run in which he beat top-10 opponents. Hewitt had a strong summer for a player ranked outside the top 300, but every time he has faced genuinely high-quality opposition, he has lost in straight sets without mounting a comeback. Our pick: Arthur Fery to win in straight sets.
