A tenacious Benjamin Bonzi knocked out second seed and World No.35 Botic Van de Zandschulp in a gripping three-setter to reach his maiden ATP World Tour final here on Friday. Keeping the intensity throughout, world number 60 Bonzi prevailed over Zandschulp 7-6(5), 6-7(5), 6-1 in an intense semi-final of the Tata Open Maharashtra at the Balewadi Stadium. With his win, Frenchman Bonzi prevented a rare all-Dutch final as earlier in the day, the Netherlands’ Tallon Griekspoor ousted eight seed Russian Aslan Karatsev 7-6(4), 6-1 in the first semifinal.
