Result
British wild card Arthur Fery recovered from a set and a break down to beat Damir Džumhur 3-6 6-2 6-2 6-1. Fery, who had trailed 3-6 0-2, reeled off nine consecutive games to seize control and never looked back, striking 36 winners and breaking the Bosnian eight times. The match drew attention when Fery inserted earplugs mid-match, later explaining it was a long-standing habit that keeps him 'in his bubble' amid Džumhur's protests to the chair umpire.
