Can Bonzi build on his win over Medvedev at Wimbledon?
In an all-unseeded opening round match-up at the 2025 Mubadala Citi DC Open in Washington, Benjamin Bonzi of France takes on Fabian Marozsan of Hungary. It will be the first career meeting on the ATP Tour between the two players. The winner of this clash will take on Gabriel Diallo of Canada in the Round of 32.
Both Bonzi and Marozsan enter this match on the back of a Round-2 finish at Wimbledon. The Frenchman whipped up a storm by eliminating former US Open champ Daniil Medvedev in the Round of 128. He has a 7-13 record in 2025, including a quarterfinal performance at the Adelaide International. The 29-year-old Bonzi has a 76% success rate in service games on this surface.

Marozsan, on the other hand, achieved his season-best result at the BMW Open in Munich. At the French Open, he took a set off World No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz before bowing out. Marozsan has a 50% success rate in 2025 so far – winning 17 contests and losing just as many. The World No. 54 has a 5-6 record on hard courts this year, and concerts 24% break point opportunities.

We predict the Hungarian to come out on top in this Round of 64 clash. While Bonzi may ride a wave of momentum after his Wimbledon breakthrough, Marozsan enjoyed a strong clay court campaign. He could have the edge in baseline exchanges, and will use the wide serves to his advantage on Monday.
Prediction: Fabian Marozsan in straight sets.
Fabian Marozsan starts as the favourite in this clash against underdog Benjamin Bonzi. According to the pre-match implied probability on the money line, Marozsan has a 61.5% chance of progressing to the next round. Here are all the important odds for this match-up (as per BetMGM):
