Forced to interrupt his season earlier than expected last year due to physical glitches, Benjamin Bonzi started the new exercise in India, at the Pune tournament. Here he is in the semi-finals after his success Thursday in two sets (7-6, 6-4) against the Serbian Filip Krajinovic, 54th in the standings. The Gardois will be opposed for a place in the final to Karatsev or Griekspoor.
