The Frenchman Benjamin Bonzi won the very first title of his career on the ATP circuit on Saturday against British qualifier Cameron Norrie in the final of the ATP 250 tournament in Metz. With a convincing 7-6 (8/6), 6-4 victory over the world No. 57, Benjamin Bonzi is on his way back into the top 100.

The former world No.42 had lost his first two ATP 250 finals, in Marseille and Pune in 2023.
