Tennis Predictions
Author of an excellent tournament, Frenchman Benjamin Bonzi will aim for a first final on the ATP circuit this season during his semi-final against American Alex Michelsen this Friday.
Is Benjamin Bonzi in the shape of his life? Everything has been successful for the French tennis player for several weeks with victories at the Challenger tournaments in Roanne and Saint Brieux, then a final, still in Challenger, in Brest last week. If these performances remained on the secondary circuit, the 124th player in the world was able to confirm this week in Moselle to reach the semi-final! Dominating in passing players like Roberto Bautista Agut (47th), Casper Ruud (7th) and his compatriot Quentin Halys (84th). This Friday, Benjamin Bonzi will play his first semi-final of an ATP tournament in 2024 and will still have to pull out all the stops when facing Alex Michelsen.
The American will have been consistent and efficient throughout the year and will seek to validate his season with success in a tournament. 44th player in the world, the young Californian still needs to refine his tennis but at 20 years old, his potential remains to be exploited. Seeded number 8 in Moselle, Alex Michelsen fought to reach the last four but showed great moral qualities to get out of complicated situations against the Frenchman Richard Gasquet and the Chinese Yunchaokete Bu during matches in 3 rounds. On paper, the American will start favorite in this duel against Benjamin Bonzi but facing a Frenchman with full confidence and in front of his audience, the tricolor will have assets to oppose to Alex Michelsen.
