Benjamin Bonzi, first opponent of Sinner in Madrid

We had one thing clear: Jannik Sinner's first opponent in the Mutua Madrid Open 2026 would be French. Benjamin Bonzi and Titean Droguet were competing for that privilege, and in the end, the former secured a spot to face the Italian at the Manolo Santana. Bonzi achieved a hard-fought victory (6-7, 7-6, 6-4) to now enjoy the spotlight on Friday at the tournament. They have met three times in the past, and Sinner won all three, although it's interesting that in all three matches, they went to a third set. Will history repeat itself?
