After the women, it is the men who will compete in the Auckland tournament this week, which promises us some high-flying matches! Alexander Muller and top seed Benjamin Bonzi will face off in the first round of the Auckland Open. The winner will then face third-seeded Francisco Cerundolo in the second round. Alexandre Muller beat his compatriot Constant Lestienne in three sets to confirm his place in the main draw. It was a good start for him and he will be keen to continue his momentum. Muller has won 2 of the 3 matches he has played this year. However, he was beaten in the first round at the Canberra Challenger in his first tournament of the year. The Frenchman performs very well on hard courts and has an overall record of 111 wins and 63 losses on this surface. Last season he recorded 20 of his 46 victories on hard court. For his part, it should be noted that Benjamin Bonzi beat Muller the first and only time they met. It was on the hard court in Winston-Salem last August. This victory is still very fresh in his mind and he will be confident to achieve another victory here. Bonzi started his season with a defeat, getting knocked out of the Hong Kong tournament in the first round. Despite the irregularities of last year, the current world number 73 managed to end his long wait for a final on the circuit and played in two.
