Benjamin Bonzi qualified for the third round of the Australian Open by winning against the Italian Franco Passaro (6-2, 6-4, 3-6, 6-4) but this fan of the OM had a hard time with the elimination of the Marseillais in the Coupe de France, which they followed before their match.
Benjamin Bonzi oscillated between two feelings on Wednesday. The French player was delighted with his qualification for the third round of the Australian Open by eliminating the lucky Italian loser Franco (6-2, 6-4, 3-6, 6-4) this Wednesday. But the 64th in the world, who will face the Czech Jiri Lehecka (n°24) in the next round, grimaced when talking about OM, his favorite club eliminated in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France by Lille (1 -1, 4 tab 3) Tuesday evening.
“I got up at 7:10 a.m., I didn’t miss a minute”
With the time difference in Melbourne, he got up earlier to follow the meeting, the scenario of which he digested poorly. “Don’t talk to me about it, I followed the match before (his meeting),” he told the press. “No comment on football, not today, it’s too hard. Of course, I watched the match, this morning, I was at the physiotherapist. I got up at 7:10 a.m., I didn’t didn’t miss a minute I was playing second so we had to get up early, but I saw the whole match It’s the penalty shootout We won’t comment on the rest but it was a good one. match.”
Teased about the fact that OM will have difficulty winning a trophy this season, Bonzi prefers to be positive. “Will you win something?” he asked the journalist who made the comment. “We’re building up little by little. If you want us to do a football interview, with pleasure. We’re building up, there are good things but we’ll see what happens next.”
Eliminated from the Coupe de France, OM is now only involved in Ligue 1 where Roberto De Zerbi’s team is second, seven points behind PSG. Bonzi will try to beat his best performance in Melbourne a year after being knocked out in the third round by Australian Alex De Minaur at this stage of the tournament.
