Week 37 - Challenger 80 (€44,820) - Open Blot, Rennes, France (indoor hard)
Permalink  

Its week 37 of the season and its Andys 9th tournament and 20th match. I think he just needs matches to get into the rhythm. Hopefully the next few weeks will do that for him. I always thought he should have committed 3/4 weeks earlier in the year to the challenger tour to get a rhythm/matches under his belt. Obviously he had a few missed tournaments through Covid that didnt help.

 Hope so - doesnt seem to be too much bad press about it; presumably no one taking it too seriously.

 It would be a brave press person to diss St Andrew of Dunblane.

 Does that make Andy's record this year 11-9 (20th match, 9 losses presumably). ie 55%.

Interesting to see what folks think, but for someone ranked 100 or lower, 55% at Challenger level / ATP level is in fact encouraging on the whole. You dont usually get a positive ratio until higher up the ranks.

Look at the positives!!

Definitely a good result, well done. Takes Liam to live 139, his CH is 137. One more win will take that to a new high!

I'd like, on the basis of his Christian name, to be able to say that he's the youngest in his family, but I couldn't find any information about his background.  wink

 Lots of information on his prowess on all surfaces this year though.

Absolutely, Julia C

Bonzi has been smashing it this summer - five challengers titles, I think (all on hard) and made it through qualis at Wimbly, and won his R1 match.

It's been one of those break-through years - he's 25 and was always about 200-300.

But he's suddenly gone up from about ATP 220 this time last year to about ATP 70 now.

ATP Challenger Tour
@ATPChallenger

Sep 12
With his victory in Cassis, @BenjaminBonzi is...

The first player to win 5 titles in a season since Filip Krajinovic in 2017. The single-season record is 6.

Just the second to win 5 titles in a season (Mannarino in 2014).

On a 15-match #ATPChallenger win streak


So, allez Liam !

 Surely (at least) the third, if Krajinovic got 5 in 2017?
