00:00This is the No. 2 court here in Toronto and the conditions for many of the players who are coming from Washington D.C. in particular, it was hot, it was muggy, humid there. It's going to be much the same here in Toronto.
00:11It is. It's always difficult this summer in North America.
00:14There were also two 250s last week in Kitsbiel and Umag. Alexander Bublik.
00:30Yeah, the tennis IQ is there. 10 of 11 from the line to finish.
00:48Game number set.
00:59Benjamin Bonzi's best results this year were down under in Adelaide as a quarter-finalist in the third round of the Australian Open.
01:04He's got an Australian on the ropes.
01:06Game and second set. Walton has six teams to lock.
01:19Neely.
01:36Game of Bonzi.
01:38Oh, what a point.
01:47And finishing strong with an exclamation point.
01:49A hold at love for a 50-plus to three.
01:53His ninth win of 2025, and he's got a nice little run going as he dismisses Benjamin Bonzi.
02:02Having got a deep push in the draw in Los Cabos as a semifinalist.
02:06That's four of his last five matches as Adam Walton advances to the second round.
02:11Number four, six. Six low. Six-three win.
02:15Excellent performance from the Aussie.
02:17You know, that's about confidence.
02:18You know, that's why having lost Cabos getting the fourth round, he'll be delighted with his coach as he goes on to see Mark Draymer
02:24because that is a heck of an effort in these difficult conditions today.
02:29So for the Australian, Adam Walton, that's going to feel like a good win because he had to earn it.
02:34Had to come back from a set down on a tough day, sweltering heat, and he's able to outlast Bonzi and get himself the victory.
02:41And now he'll start to prepare for Alexander Zverev.
02:44For Bonzi, the difficult times continue.
02:46He has now lost 13 of his last 16 contests.
02:50Well, it's not very good for the Frenchman.
02:52He's got to reassess and look at areas he needs to improve in his game.
02:55He's got to reassess and look at areas he needs to improve in his game.
