Britain's Arthur Fery faced a tough defeat against Francisco Cerundolo in the Queen's quarter-finals, losing 7-6 (7-1), 3-6, 6-4. The match, which lasted two hours and 39 minutes, showcased Fery's resilience as he fought back from a set and a break down.

Fery, currently ranked 140th in the world, had already made headlines by reaching the quarter-finals of an ATP Tour competition for the first time. He gained momentum after defeating Adrian Mannarino in the previous round, marking what he called the "best result" of his career.

Key highlights of the match include:

• Fery initially took control by breaking Cerundolo to serve for the first set at 5-4.
• Despite dominating the tie-break, Fery lost the first set after Cerundolo won the next three games.
• Cerundolo suffered a temporary setback after a volley hit him in the throat, but quickly regained his composure.
• The second set saw Fery equalize after breaking Cerundolo's serve.
• In the deciding set, Fery took an early lead only to see Cerundolo capitalize on his experience, breaking back and ultimately sealing the match.

With this loss, no British players remain in the singles draw of the ATP 500 event. Cerundolo will now advance to face Brandon Nakashima, who eliminated top seed Alex de Minaur earlier in the tournament. Fery's performance on the grass courts bodes well for his upcoming wildcard entry into Wimbledon, starting on June 29.
