It is the French Benjamin Bonzi that David Goffin will face in the second round for his entry into the running at the Montpellier tennis tournament. On Tuesday, the 24-year-old French player, 125th in the world, won in two sets 7-6 (7/2), 6-2 and 1h28 of play against his compatriot Lucas Pouille (ATP 79), 26, at the 1st round of this indoor tournament on a hard surface endowed with 262,170 euros. David Goffin, 15th in the world, is exempted from the first round thanks to his N.2 seeded status.
David Goffin, 30, has never met Benjamin Bonzi on the circuit.
The Liege, who was eliminated in the 1st round of the doubles with Lucas Pouille on Monday, is playing his first tournament in the south of France after his disappointing Australian tour, marked by two defeats from the start, against the young Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz ( ATP 146), 17, at the Great Ocean Road Open, then especially at the Australian Open against the Australian Alexei Popyrin (ATP 113) after having had four match points.
