Benjamin Bonzi was the first Frenchman to gain his place in the third round of theAustralian Open this Wednesday. The Gardois contained in four rounds Francesco Passaro. Trailing two sets to zero, the Italian became dangerous again but the Habs were able to close the door on him (6-2, 6-4, 3-6, 6-4). He could have found Friday Hugo Gaston. But the Toulouse man, affected in the abdominals, threw in the towel in the face of Jiri Lehecka. The Czech is a serious customer. Bonzi will have to pull out all the stops. He has already reached the third round of a Grand Slam tournament twice, including Melbourne in 2023, but has never been able to reach the second week.

fan ofMarseille Olympicthe Habs did not miss their favorite team’s match Tuesday evening against Lille in French Cup. The Olympians lost on penalties. “Don’t talk to me about it, I followed the match… No comment, not today, it’s too hard“, he said in comments reported by The Team. “But of course, I watched the match this morning! I was at the physio, unlocking, I got up at 7:10 to watch the match, I didn’t miss a minute. It’s okay, I was playing second , I had to get up early. If I had played at night? I would have watched the second half (smile). good match overall. We are building up little by little. There are good things.
“It’s great to be on the other side of the world and have these people encouraging and pushing us”
Concerning Melbournethe 64th player in the world spoke of the support of the French supporters, who were very noisy in the stands. The Blues fans are there and the players appreciate it. “We are super happy that they are here! They were already there in the first round. They are still in good shape. It’s great to be on the other side of the world and have these people encouraging and pushing us. It’s more embarrassing for our opponents. I manage to stay focused, to create a bubble around me and that pushes me towards the end. I think it puts a little pressure on his shoulders when he starts to mess up a little on the last play and they are there screaming as soon as he makes a mistake. So far it’s been to my advantage and it’s super cool to have them at the sidelines.”
