Result
The British wildcard's dream fortnight continues. Arthur Fery came from a set down to beat Finnish qualifier Otto Virtanen — the man who eliminated No. 4 seed Ben Shelton in round one — 5-7 7-6(3) 6-3 6-3 and reach the third round. Virtanen's 16 aces kept him alive early, but Fery was the far cleaner player where it mattered: 43 winners against just 27 unforced errors, to Virtanen's 45 errors. After splitting the first two sets, Fery converted his chances (three breaks from nine points) while facing exactly one break point across the last two sets.
