The Nîmes Benjamin Bonzi could not resist the blows of the American Michael Mmoh in the first round of the Open Sud de France, this Monday January 29.

No second round at the Open Sud de France in Montpellier for Nîmes Benjamin Bonzi. The 27-year-old, 126th player in the world, was knocked out in two sets by the American Michael Mmoh (26 years old, 133rd worldwide).

The efficiency of Mmoh's serve undermined the Frenchman, like this serve at… 239 km/h to win the first set.

Rather in place, as demonstrated by his three shutouts in the second set, Bonzi paid cash for each of his rare errors. Where Mmoh showed great efficiency: the American, who had three break points, converted two.

Bonzi got a set point on Mmoh's serve at 5-4 in the second set. But the American's missiles got the better of the game. 

On Wednesday, Michael Mmoh will face the winner of the match between Alexandre Muller (seeded number 7) and qualifier Antoine Esoffier.
