Benjamin Bonzi (60th in the world) assured against the Australian Alex de Minaur, 3rd seed and 23rd in the world, in the final match of the day. The Nîmes did not drag to win the first set 6-2 after breaking in the 3rd game to lead 3-0. But he had more difficulties to win in the second set, finding himself trailing 2-1 after fierce resistance from De Minaur to prevent the Frenchman from making the break. It was the Australian who then managed to break to lead 3-1 before Bonzi woke up and came back to 4-3 before breaking in turn to lead 5-4 then winning his serve for the set and the game.
