In the quarter-final of the Moselle Open, Quentin Halys lost in 2 sets against his compatriot Benjamin Bonzi on the central court of the Arènes de Metz.
Two players from the qualifying phase, two friends who have known each other “for 14 years” for a place in the semi-final. And it’s Benjamin Bonzi who wins this tricolor duel! A 3-6 / 6-7 (7) victory with character from the Frenchman. However, Quentin Halys managed 13 aces, just the opposite of his opponent (zero on his counter). However, Benjamin Bonzi seemed tired at the end of the match and did not manage to play his game. Quentin Halys, for his part, was serene with his game, and calm enough to push his opponent to his limits.
Until now, in the final phase, Quentin Halys had only faced French players. A journey that has been successful for him. To start, he plays against the Lucky Loser Mosellan, Théo Papamalamis. A match that he won easily (6-3 / 6-1). Then, it's Pierre-Hugues Herbert's turn to take on number 84 in the ATP rankings. A match concluded in 3 sets (6-1 / 4-6 / 6-4).
For his part, Benjamin Bonzi won his match against the Spaniard Roberto Bautista Agut (7-6 (7) / 6-3). In the next round, he faced a Casper Ruud who was not very determined by what was at stake. The Frenchman, number 124th in the ATP rankings, takes on the 7th player in the world, all in 2 sets (6-4 / 6-4).
Now, the winner of the match, Benjamin Bonzi, will face the winner of the match between Alex Michelsen and Yunchaokete Bu in the semi-final. This match will be played from 8 p.m. on the central court of the Moselle Open. Benjamin Bonzi obviously hopes to face Corentin Moutet, to have a French duel in the final…
