Ah. Another double fault for Arthur Fery. The last thing he needs right now. 15-30.
*Fery 3-6 3-6 3-5 Musetti
Arthur Fery goes wide with a slice before powering down a smash at the net that bounces up and over the head of Lorenzo Musetti. 15-15.
*Fery 3-6 3-6 3-5 Musetti
Arthur Fery thought about throwing his racquet there after pushing the ball into the net, but he keeps a hold of it and then makes the same mistake on the next point.
He can't find the court on the next two either and that moves Lorenzo Musetti one game away from a place in the second round.

The scoreboard is not looking very kind to Arthur Fery but this is, and I don't want to call what the result will be, a learning expedition for him. He can take a moment to reflect, spend time with his team having a look at this match and get valuable feedback to see what Musetti was doing better than him.

Lorenzo Musetti is looking pretty relaxed. Perhaps a little too relaxed there as his attempt at a drop shot falls short of the net.
He sends up a moonball on the next point, but Arthur Fery puts it right back and Musetti goes wide with a forehand.
And there's the love hold for Fery. He needed that big time.

The variation that Musetti is presenting to Fery has certainly got him baffled. Unforced error count - he's taking the lead in set one, two and three.
*Fery 3-6 3-6 2-4 Musetti
It won't get much easier than that for Lorenzo Musetti.
Three rather poor misses from Arthur Fery and then the Italian sparks to life, slamming home an angled cross-court forehand winner.

Wide from Arthur Fery.
The British number one showed his fighting spirit at Wimbledon, but he just doesn't seem to have that same kind of energy in New York today.
Lorenzo Musetti has been too good for the 24-year-old.
*Fery 3-6 3-6 2-2 Musetti
Four Brits have already made it through to the second round in New York, but it doesn't look - as things stand - like Arthur Fery will be joining them.
Lorenzo Musetti has got himself two break points.
*Fery 3-6 3-6 2-2 Musetti
A backhand winner down the line claws a point back for Arthur Fery, but he's furious with himself as he plants Lorenzo Musetti's next serve into the net and then slices wide.
And Musetti levels the set with another big serve that Fery can only sink into the fence.

Musetti changing ends there and having a look at his coaching team and it looked like he was like 'I've got to get the blinkers on now, I've been able to break back but lost my serve with a few rash decisions'. But he's bounced back and back on serve.

That didn't last long, did it? Arthur Fery fends off the first break point brilliantly, but his hard work goes to waste as his backhand falls between the tramlines.
We're back on serve.

Hmm. Just moments after the elation of securing his first break, Arthur Fery hands Lorenzo Musetti the chance to strike back straight away.
Two break back points for the Italian.
*Fery 3-6 3-6 2-0 Musetti
A first break for Arthur Fery! The British number one whips his arms up and down, demanding the crowd to get behind him.
He's not down and out just yet!
Fery 3-6 3-6 1-0 Musetti*
That sums up how things are going for Arthur Fery right now. He puts his hands on his hips and lets out a frustrated sigh after another careless miss.
But he quickly forgets all about it and goes on the attack, this time forcing Lorenzo Musetti into the error.
The drop shot doesn't pay off on the next point, with Musetti expecting it, but Fery recovers to bring up an early chance to break.

Fery's not been blown away yet, he's not way out of his league or his depth in this match against someone who's inside the top 15. Still just trying to find that happy ground where there's some consistency.
Fery 3-6 3-6 1-0 Musetti*
Arthur Fery shakes his racquet as he wriggles free thanks to a couple of unforced errors from Lorenzo Musetti. Let's see what he can do on the Italian's serve now.
*Fery 3-6 3-6 0-0 Musetti
The serve helps Arthur Fery out of immediate trouble, but there's that problematic backhand again. Deuce.
*Fery 3-6 3-6 0-0 Musetti
What's worrying for Arthur Fery is that it feels like Lorenzo Musetti has more gears to go through if needed.
The Italian is already applying pressure on his serve again as he gets a 15-30 opening.
