Fery, who beat fellow Briton Toby Samuel in the first round, will face either seventh seed Francisco Cerundolo or Jenson Brooksby in the last eight.<\/p>\n
Former British number one John Lloyd, commentating on Fery’s match for the BBC, was impressed by Fery’s performance.<\/p>\n
“I see no reason why he can’t be top 50,” he said.<\/p>\n
“He’s quick, nasty to play against, he moves well, isn’t afraid to change it up with the slice, and he likes the big stage.”<\/p>\n
Fery started confidently by breaking Mannarino’s serve at the first attempt but the 37-year-old Frenchman fought back from 3-0 down to take the set to a tie-break.<\/p>\n
An eye-catching cross-court backhand pass and two superb volleys at full stretch – celebrated with a crowd-energising fist-pump – helped Fery move to set point.<\/p>\n
World number 44 Mannarino saved it but Fery kept his nerve to force an error that secured the set.<\/p>\n
After a medical timeout to stop his nose bleed, Fery maintained his standards in an entertaining second set. He broke Mannarino in the ninth game with a blistering forehand and then held his serve to complete victory.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, top seed Alex de Minaur of Australia secured his place in the quarter-finals with a straightforward 6-4 6-1 victory over Canada’s Denis Shapovalov.<\/p>\n
De Minaur will play American world number 32 Brandon Nakashima in the last eight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fery, who beat fellow Briton Toby Samuel in the first round, will face either seventh seed Francisco Cerundolo…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":269848,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[9,24,63,122,124,123],"class_list":["post-269847","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/269847","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=269847"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/269847\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/269848"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=269847"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=269847"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=269847"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
