An Italian in the 2nd round
In the 2nd round, he will face the Italian Francesco Passaro (104th), beaten in the 3rd round of qualifying but brought back into the main draw thanks to the withdrawal of his compatriot Fabio Fognini (88th).
In the first round, Passaro benefited on Monday from the withdrawal of the Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov (10th), trailing 7-5, 2-1 when he threw in the towel, to reach the 2nd round.
In case of victory against the Italian, Bonzi would equal his best performance at the Australian Open (3rd round in 2023).
