Despite an excellent start to the match against Fabian Marozsan, Benjamin Bonzi did not hold the pace. He was finally eliminated in the first round of the Washington ATP 500 tournament.
Third participation in the Washington ATP 500 tournament, and still no victory for Benjamin Bonzi. Eliminated in the first round of the main draw in 2022 and in the first round of qualifying last year, the Gardois was again eliminated at the 32nd finals. For his first hard game for four months, Daniil Medvedev’s fall in the first round of Wimbledon was opposed to Fabian Marozsan, better classified than him (54th against 69th).
An opponent he faced for the first FIS of his career, and who beat him 7-5, 6-1 in 1h17. Benjamin Bonzi had nevertheless started the game perfectly, leading 4-1 thanks to a successful 2-1 station wagon on his first opportunity, after having obtained two break balls at 1-0. But the Hungarian, who also remained on a second round in Wimbledon before starting the North American tour on hard, ended up going into his match, and that turned out to be fatal for the French. Marozsan rolled out from his first opportunity to return to 3-4, then 4-4, and again took the service of his opponent at 5-5 before pocket the Channel on his third set ball.
Bonzi will aim for a first victory in Canada
In the second, Bonzi lost its put into play from the first game, then again at 2-0, and never managed to return after this start of catastrophic set. He won his first game at 4-0, but still sold his service to 5-1, and therefore the match. It is therefore Marozsan who will face the Canadian Gabriel Diallo, seeded n ° 15, at the next round. Benjamin Bonzi will take the direction of Canada, for the Masters 1000 in Toronto.
As in Washington, Le Gardois will have the opportunity to win its very first match in the Masters 1000 of Canada (which takes place in Montreal in pairs). Four other French people are engaged in Washington: Alexandre Müller, Gaël Monfils, Quentin Halys and Giovanni Mpeshi Perrica.
