Australian Open 2026: Britain’s Arthur Fery qualifies for first overseas Grand Slam

Fery attended Stanford University and claimed his first major match win at Wimbledon last year, beating 20th seed Alexei Popyrin in four sets.

He previously struggled with bone bruising in his upper arm – the same injury that has sidelined British number one Jack Draper for four months.

“It was a big milestone for me to play Slams on my own ranking and having qualified brings a lot of joy to me and pride,” Fery added.

“I know I have it in me to play really good tennis, it’s just a matter of staying healthy and delivering on the court.”

George Loffhagen was unable to join Fery in the main draw, losing 5-7 6-4 6-4 to American Nishesh Basavareddy.

Fery joins Cameron Norrie and Jacob Fearnley in the men’s main singles draw, while Emma Raducanu, Francesca Jones, Sonay Kartal and Katie Boulter are in the women’s.
