Bonzi called up for France-Brazil Davis Cup clash

Having already called up Ugo Humbert, Arthur Fils, Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard and Pierre-Hugues Herbert at the beginning of the month, French Davis Cup team captain Paul-Henri Mathieu has now called up a fifth player.

He chose Benjamin Bonzi, ranked 62nd in the world this week, who reached the 3rd round at the Australian Open, beaten by No.24 seed Jiri Lehecka.

He will join the French squad, which met on Monday to prepare for the Davis Cup match against Joao Fonseca's Brazil.

The match will be played this weekend on hard court at the Palais des Sports in Orléans.
