Released in five sets by Jordan Thompson in the second round, the Gardois wants to take a positive assessment from his tournament which saw him beat for the first time in his career a top 10 (Medvedev).
After having knocked down in the first round the 9th world player Daniil Medvedev, the biggest performance of his career at 29, Benjamin Bonzi had warned. He would not be a favorite against Jordan Thompson, very comfortable on lawn. “I knew it was going to be a completely different match profile from the first round, with much fewer rally. It took me a long time to find the pace at the beginning because I had trouble getting used to his ball and how to give life to all of this. He is very aggressive, he quickly comes to the net and he is very good on the fly. That’s why I said I didn’t feel favorite at all. ” After the feat against Medvedev, the disappointment against Thompson. “I remember the victory against Daniil, but I am disappointed not to get out of it today. If we do the accounts, it is only a 2nd round in the Grand Chelem. Nor is it a fantastic week. I can hardly leave more energy than today on the ground, I tried to go there to the end. I feel above at the start of the 4th set and suddenly it makes me only winning feedback. I have the impression that he takes the hammer catch and everything fits. I fought all the fifth to stay in contact. In the end, I have the feeling that I do not lack energy, I even feel better than him physically. »»
