Professional career

2017: Grand Slam debut and first win at the French Open

A wildcard entry for the 2017 French Open, he won the match over Daniil Medvedev after his retirement in the first round before losing to 19th seed Albert Ramos Vinolas in the second round.[1]

2018: Wimbledon debut

He qualified for the 2018 Wimbledon Championships defeating Britain's James Ward in the final qualifying round but lost to Lukáš Lacko in the first round.

2019: Mixed Doubles Grand Slam quarterfinal and first ATP doubles final

He reached the quarterfinals of the 2019 French Open in mixed doubles as a wildcard partnering compatriot Amandine Hesse where they lost to eventual champions Ivan Dodig and Latisha Chan.

He made his first final in doubles as a wildcard partnering compatriot Antoine Hoang at the 2019 Open Sud de France where they lost to top seeded pair Édouard Roger-Vasselin and Ivan Dodig.

2020: French Open doubles third round

Bonzi qualified for the 2020 French Open beating Ivo Karlovic amongst others in qualifying.[2] In the first round Bonzi defeated Finland’s Emil Ruusuvuori before losing in a second round clash against teenage Italian Jannik Sinner.[3] In doubles as a wildcard he reached the third round of a Grand Slam for the first time in his career partnering Antoine Hoang where they were defeated by 8th seeded German duo and eventual champions from Germany, Kevin Krawietz and Andreas Mies.

Bonzi at the 2021 Open de Rennes

Bonzi started the year winning his first and second Challengers of his career in Potchefstroom and Ostrava. In July, Bonzi qualified for the 2021 Wimbledon Championships and reached the second round for the first time after defeating fellow qualifier Marco Trungelliti in the first round before he lost to 32nd seed Marin Čilić.

He made his top 100 debut after winning the Segovia Challenger over Tim van Rijthoven, jumping 16 spots at a new career high of No. 95 of the World on 2 August 2021.[4][5] He was the top seed in the qualifications at the 2021 US Open but lost to American Aleksandar Kovacevic in the second round.[6] That same month, he followed his defeat by winning his fourth challenger title in Saint-Tropez. He then won two more back-to-back challengers in France in Cassis and Rennes, his fifth and sixth of 2021, making it three titles on home soil in three weeks with just three combined sets lost. He was the first player to go back-to-back-to-back on the circuit since Mikhail Youzhny in 2016. He joined Facundo Bagnis (2016), Juan Ignacio Chela (2001) and Younes El Aynaoui (1998) as the only players to lift six singles trophies in one season in ATP Challenger history.[7] As a result he reached a new career-high of World No. 61 on 20 September 2021.

On his debut at the Indian Wells Masters he reached the third round for the first time in his career at this level, defeating 21th seed Lorenzo Sonego before losing to 10th seed Jannik Sinner.[10]
