Huge Benjamin Bonzi! This Saturday, late in the afternoon, the 29-year-old from Nîmes, who trains in Marseille under the orders of Lionel Zimbler, won the ATP 250 tournament in Metz (Moselle), his first in the main circuit. The French Tennis player had a dream week to succeed Ugo Humbert, the title holder. In the final, he perfectly executed his plan against the British Cameron Norrie, 57th player in the world and former No. 8, in two short sets (7-6, 6-4). “I've come a long way this year, it's really special for me to finish with a title this season, my first on the circuit.“, immediately delivered the hero of the day.
This victory confirms the rebirth of Bonzi at the end of the season where he won two Challengers (Roanne and Saint-Brieuc), reached the final of that of Brest, compiled 21 victories in his last 22 meetings, and therefore achieved the greatest week of his career in Metz where he notably beat the world No.7 in the second round, the Norwegian Casper Ruud. This first tournament won on the main circuit will allow him to enter the Top 100 again, and even enter the circle of the 80 best players in the world. A nice revenge after a long period of doubt over the last 18 months following a wrist injury from which he had struggled to recover, and which had caused him to fall to the depths of the rankings.
