Fery and Kovacevic are scheduled for a 6:30 PM ET start on Stadium Court, and the market views the quarterfinal as essentially a coin flip. Fery is priced at -115 while Kovacevic sits just behind him at -106, leaving little separation between the rising British star and the American playing in home conditions.
Fery has done almost nothing wrong so far. The World No. 37 received a first-round bye before beating Cruz Hewitt 6-1, 7-5 and Mees Rottgering 6-3, 6-3. He is now 28-14 this season and 11-5 on outdoor hard courts after one of the biggest breakthrough years of his career.
Kovacevic has had to win one additional match, but his road has arguably been more impressive. He beat Felix Balshaw 6-4, 7-6, took down No. 11 seed Luca Van Assche 6-1, 7-6 and then eliminated Tsitsipas 6-3, 7-6 on Wednesday.

Arthur Fery vs. Aleksandar Kovacevic Prediction
Three matches, six sets and zero sets lost is difficult to ignore. More importantly, Kovacevic has repeatedly handled tight moments. His last three matches have included four tiebreaks, and he has won every one of them. The 7-1 tiebreak against Tsitsipas was particularly emphatic when he had an opportunity to close out the upset.
Fery is deservedly receiving respect after his excellent season, but this is the first meeting between the two and current tournament form becomes especially important without any head-to-head history. Kovacevic has already adjusted to the conditions over three matches and has faced significantly more resistance along the way.
There is always some concern about a letdown immediately after beating a player with Tsitsipas' résumé. The counterargument is that Kovacevic never had to go through the emotional and physical grind of a three-set upset. He finished it in two and should arrive Thursday believing his game is capable of beating anyone left in this draw.
