Benjamin Bonzi took advantage of Casper Ruud‘s lack of rhythm to beat him 6-4 6-4 this Wednesday in the round of 16 in Metz. Halys qualified for the quarterfinals by beating Herbert.
It’s the greatest victory of his career. Benjamin Bonzi beat the 7th world player and number 2 seed at the ATP 250 in Metz Casper Ruud this Wednesday with a score of 6-4 6-4. The lack of rhythm and the late arrival in Lorraine of the Norwegian explain the poor performance of the former double finalist at Roland-Garros. This is the first time the 28-year-old has beaten a top 10 member.
For his part, Quentin Halys beat Pierre-Hughes Herbert in three sets 6-1 4-6 6-4 and will face Bonzi in the quarter-finals. Hugo Gaston lost against Zizou Bergs 6-4 7-5 and Luca Van Assche against Cameron Norrie 6-3 3-6 6-1.
