Traditionally this Canadian Open precedes the US Open, and there is a chance for Harry Wendelken and Arthur Fery to win Special Exempts to the main draw with strong performances here. Holly Fischer was a late withdrawal.
Contrasting fortunes today, with Harry unable to build on his run to the semis last week. He isn't in the doubles (Arthur is). Arthur next plays the Italian who edged past Oscar Weightman in a third set tiebreak last week.
R1 (L48)
Arthur Fery d. Ryuhei Azuma (JPN) 6-1 6-3
Francesco Maestrelli (ITA) d. Harry Wendelken 6-4 6-2
Arthur takes out the fifth seed, so is two wins away from a free pass to the US Open (it is only possible for one of the players above him in US Open qualifying to gain a Special Exempt in singles)
R2
Arthur Fery d. (5) Flavio Cobolli (ITA) 4-6 6-1 6-4
