The Boodles 2024 - Day 1, Tuesday 25th June | Andrey Rublev d. Arthur Fery (GBR)

Young British talent Arthur Fery tested ATP star Andrey Rublev in the first match of The Boodles tennis on Tuesday at Stoke Park. Rising star Fery, aged 21, challenged the World No.6 Rublev in an exciting start to the event, holding his own against the 16-time ATP title winner Rublev in the first set until he was broken at 4-4 to lose out 64. Rublev faced another concerted challenge in the second set, with the young Brit proving his potential by taking the set to the tie-break. Rublev ultimately proved his quality and experience in the end, taking the tie-break 8-6 but the Brit showed his promise which bodes well for the next couple of weeks on his home turf at Wimbledon.
