Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?
Miomir Kecmanovic from Serbia, currently ranked 55th in the world, will be facing off against French qualifier Benjamin Bonzi in their first-ever meeting. Kecmanovic, at 25 years old, has had a relatively steady career with a win-loss record of 148-149 and one ATP Tour title. His career-high ranking of 27 was achieved in January 2023. Notably, he broke into the top 40 after winning his first ATP Tour title at the Kitzbuhel tournament in 2020.
In 2022, Kecmanovic had a successful season with a personal-best of 38 wins. He reached the fourth round of the Australian Open, the third round of both Roland Garros and Wimbledon. Notably, he also made it to the quarterfinals of the ATP Masters 1000 tournaments in Indian Wells and Miami in 2022. One of the highlights of his career was defeating No. 6 ranked Berrettini in the fourth round of the 2022 Indian Wells tournament. Additionally, Kecmanovic reached the semifinals of the 2019 Next Gen ATP Finals, where he lost to eventual champion Sinner. In his junior career, he defeated Tsitsipas to win the 2015 Orange Bowl junior title and ended 2016 as the world No. 1 junior.
Seeking his 14th ATP Tour semifinal (with a current record of 4-9), Kecmanovic aims to become the second Serbian player to reach the semifinals in Adelaide, following Djokovic’s success in 2023 when he won the title.
On the other side of the court, we have Benjamin Bonzi from France, who is 28 years old and currently ranked 70th in the world. He reached a career-high ranking of 42 in February 2023 after breaking into the top 50 in June 2022. In addition to his one ATP Tour title, Bonzi reached his second ATP Tour final in Marseille. One of the standout moments of his career was defeating seventh-ranked Ruud during his journey to winning his first ATP Tour title at the 2024 Metz tournament as a qualifier, defeating Norrie in the final.
Bonzi’s impressive run includes defeating the 2022 runner-up Ruusuvuori during his first ATP Tour final in Pune in 2023. His tour-level debut came at the 2017 Roland Garros, where he defeated future world No. 1 Medvedev as a wildcard. He has also reached the third round of Grand Slam tournaments, namely the 2023 Australian Open and US Open.
In 2021, Bonzi had a successful season in the ATP Challenger Tour, earning 50 wins and six titles, tying with four other players for the second-most Challenger titles in a single season, only behind Griekspoor’s eight titles in 2021. In his junior career, he won the boys’ doubles title at the 2014 Roland Garros alongside his compatriot Halys.
Seeking his sixth ATP Tour semifinal, with a current record of 3-2, Bonzi has been particularly strong on hard courts. He has had an impressive record of 27-2 across all levels since the start of October, highlighted by his qualifying campaign that resulted in his first ATP Tour title in Metz, effectively ending his 2024 season on a high note.
