The Australian local Li Tu faces the Frenchman Benjamin Bonzi during this round of 16 of the Adelaide tournament. Li Tu is entering his 5th season in the ATP rankings and lost 5 places last season, not yet allowing him to enter the top 100. Having already started his season during the qualifiers for the Brisbane tournament last week, the Australian failed to reach the main draw, losing to Yoshihito Nishioka, 63rd in the world, in qualifying. Here, the Wild Card won his round of 16 in 2 sets against James Duckworth, 94th in the world.
Benjamin Bonzi, for his part, brilliantly concluded his 2024 season by winning the Metz tournament title against Cameron Norrie, 48th in the world. Having entered through qualifying into his first tournament of the 2025 season, that of Brisbane, the Frenchman seems to have lost none of his momentum from the month of November since he won his 2 qualifying matches, then went on to achieve a 3rd consecutive victory. by winning his first round against the number 6 seed, Alejandro Tabilo, in a tight 3-hour loan match. Then stopped by Nicolas Jarry, Benjamin Bonzi took charge of this second Australian tournament and won his two qualifying matches before benefiting from a bye to join this round of 16 following the absence of Jiri Lehecka.
