There is not really much to say about Benjamin Bonzi's victory over Pierre-Hugues Herbert, as the 69th ranked player in the world dominated the proceedings. A break in the first set, then one in the second was enough for Lionel Zimbler's protégé to get the better of his elder brother, a finalist in the 2021 edition, 6-4 6-3 (1h26).
Benjamin Bonzi will play in the quarter-finals of the Open 13 Provence for the first time in his career. It is even the first time he has reached this stage on the main circuit. He will face Aslan Karatsev, the number 4 seed of the tournament, on Friday.
