Arthur Fery Wins Aussie Open Debut Over Cobolli
British 23‑year‑old Arthur Fery wins first‑round at Australian Open, beating 20th seed Flavio Cobolli.
British 23‑year‑old Arthur Fery, world number 185, survived a grueling qualifying stage at the Australian Open before beating Italy’s 20th seed Flavio Cobolli 7‑6 4‑6 1‑6 in straight sets at John Cain Arena on Sunday 18 January 2026. The win, his first Grand Slam main‑draw match, followed a similar triumph over Australian Alexei Popyrin at Wimbledon six months earlier. Fery credited a last‑minute journey across the globe by his mother, former pro Olivia, as key to his confidence. The match featured two lengthy video‑review delays before focusing on his powerful serve return. With the win, Fery advances to face Argentina’s Tomas Martin Etcheverry in round two, while still balancing studies at Stanford University.
