Britain’s Arthur Fery beats World Cup winner’s son in Eastbourne to continue impressive grass-court form

Britain's Arthur Fery, a 23-year-old Londoner, continued his strong grass-court form by defeating Argentina's Roman Andres Burruchaga — son of a World Cup winner — in a dramatic comeback victory in the first round of the Lexus Eastbourne Open on June 23, 2026. Burruchaga's father, Jorge Burruchaga, famously scored the winning goal in the 1986 FIFA World Cup final for Argentina. The result underlines Fery's growing reputation on grass ahead of Wimbledon.
