Forfeited in Dubai the day after his lost final in Marseille and also deprived of Indian Wells because of the same tear in an adductor he contracted during his week in Provence, Benjamin Bonzi continues to treat himself. He will therefore also miss the Masters 1000 in Miami. Ugo Humbert takes the opportunity to integrate the big picture.
“There is minimal hope for Miami, but without believing it too much. Lionel Zimbler, the coach of the Gardois was unfortunately right not to have any real illusions about the participation of his protege in the second stage of the American tour. Already forfeited for the first of the two Masters 1000 of this month of March, which is currently taking place on the courts of Indian Wells, in California, where our last two representatives in the race Adrian Mannarino and Ugo Humbert did not drag on (elimination in the third round for the two men), Benjamin Bonzi (26) was forced to also give up the second meeting: the Miami tournament, which will begin in five days in Florida. Already deprived of the Dubai tournament, at the end of February, which appeared on his initial calendar at the start of the season, the finalist last month of the Marseille tournament, he who lives a few kilometers from the Palais des Sports in Marseille, where he had stumbled on the last step on the Pole Hubert Kurkacz, is still not ready to resume competition.
Bonzi should be back on his feet for the start of the clay-court season
Injured precisely during his magnificent week on his land, which had seen him get rid of two players better ranked than him, Maxime Cressy and, above all, Alex De Minaur, who was one of the favorites of the tournament, the 45th in the standings last Monday continues to heal his tear in an adductor, originally three centimeters before the finalist of the Pune tournament (India) at the very start of the season (the very first final on the ATP circuit for those who display many titles on the Challenger circuit to his name) begins treatment in the capital.
Humbert takes advantage of the misfortunes of his compatriot
The injury of the player dismissed from Stade Toulousain is developing favorably, however, and he should be able to be there for the start of the season on clay. Bonzi also appears on the list of entries for the Masters 1000 in Monte-Carlo, which promises to be colossal ahead of time. Note that his package in Miami is the delight of another Frenchman Ugo Humbert, propelled into the big picture after the package of his compatriot while the Messin, 77th in the standings, should have played in the qualifications.
