I hope James is going to rest up and get ready for next week but very happy to be through.<\/p>\n “I played well in the first set. He was serving very well and tricky but managed to get the break and from then on I thought I was playing good.<\/p>\n “He was hindered at the start of the second set and I saw it. It’s never easy playing someone who you know is physically challenged, but overall it felt good apart from that last forehand.”<\/p>\n The Briton went on a fairy-tale Wimbledon semi-final run earlier this summer <\/a>and he is set for a new career high Monday. Eight weeks ago, Fery was ranked outside the top 100.<\/p>\n Image: Fery will take on Peruvian Ignacio Buse in the final on Saturday Sky Sports Tennis from 9pm BST, the world No 36, who held off Frenchman Benjamin Bonzi 6-2 4-6 6-1 to reach his second ATP Tour final.<\/p>\n “It’s going to be another tough match,” admitted Fery. “Ignacio is playing really well. He’s a young guy who is breaking out so it’s going to be a great match. Definitely a good week for both of us and I’m going to sit down with my coach and see what I can do to beat him.”<\/p>\n The highest seed remaining in North Carolina, 22-year-old Buse’s career highlight came in May when he claimed his first tour-level trophy at the ATP 500 in Hamburg.<\/p>\n A year ago Buse was ranked No 135 but he will be seeded at the US Open where he is slated to face American Marcos Giron in the first round.<\/p>\n Fery, who is set to make his main draw debut at the US Open starting on Sunday, faces a tough task against Italy’s world No 14 Lorenzo Musetti in the opening round<\/a>.<\/p>\n The US Open is live on Sky Sports from August 30.
