Stopped by Thompson at Wimbledon, Bonzi Fails to Confirm His First-Round Feat Against Medvedev

Benjamin Bonzi had caused a sensation in the first round of Wimbledon by eliminating the world No. 9 and former semifinalist Daniil Medvedev.

He was expected to confirm this impressive victory against Jordan Thompson in the second round. The Australian, comfortable on grass, represented the perfect trap for the Frenchman. After five sets (7-5, 6-7, 6-4, 6-2, 6-4) and a battle lasting 3 hours and 50 minutes, Bonzi ultimately fell short in the match.

Thompson thus matches his best result at Wimbledon by reaching the third round. He will face the winner of the match between Arthur Fery and Luciano Darderi.
