On Thursday, July 14, Benjamin Bonzi vs John Isner will square off in the Hall of Fame Open quarterfinals. Isner is now ranked 22 and Bonzi is 48 in the men’s singles rankings.
John Isner easily defeated Peter Gojowczyk in straight sets in the second round of this competition, extending his winning streak in Newport to nine games. He maintained all of his service games, 6-3, 7-6, served 22 aces, and only allowed four first-serve points to be scored.
The ATP Newport is one of the main tour’s most cherished competitions for the big-serving American player. Four times, including his most recent two appearances in 2017 and 2019, he has captured the championship here. The former American No. 1 won all three of his matches against international opponents in his previous two visits in ATP 250 tournaments in Dallas and Houston earlier this year. Additionally, he at least reached the semifinals in each of those tournaments.
Benjamin Bonzi had some American opposition during his first week at the ATP Newport. The struggle will increase when he faces John Isner, a former champion, in the quarterfinal. He had to win in three sets in the first round against the qualifier William Blumberg, and in the second round, he had to come back against Christopher Eubanks after falling behind 2-5 in the second-set tiebreaker.
The Frenchman has never competed in a main tour quarterfinal match before to 2022; nevertheless, this will be his third such encounter during the present grass swing. He lost this match in Mallorca a few weeks. After being force to step down from his quarterfinal encounter against Daniel Altmaier in Stuttgart last month.

Benjamin Bonzi vs John Isner Predictions
Isner, who broke the record for most aces ever at Wimbledon, didn’t lose a beat in his Newport encounter, defeating Gojowczyk with 22 aces to advance to the quarterfinals. Even though Bonzi is having a tremendous grass season, taking on the best server in history on this court will likely be too much to ask.
But if you can play good and reliable service games against Isner, you’ll always have a chance. Isner’s matches frequently end in tiebreaks, so it wouldn’t be surprising if it happened here as well.
Isner is expected to win in the third set.
