Benjamin Bonzi will face Alex De Minaur in the third round of the Australian Open on Friday.
De Minaur had a fairly easy outing in the second round and will look to keep things simple in order to continue his run at the Australian Open. But he will have to be cautious as he faces a resilient Bonzi, who will pose a stern test for the 23-year-old.
Bonzi played one of the best matches of his career last time out, beating Pablo Carreno Busta in a thriller. He will look to play with the same grit and determination to keep his Grand Slam journey alive.

The tournament has been filled with ups and downs, surprises and shocks, and this matchup will certainly add to the unpredictability. The two players have played each other before, and De Minaur leads Bonzi 2-1 in their head-to-head record.
De Minaur seems in a better position right now, being familiar with the conditions here and having beaten Bonzi twice before. Given the quality both players possess, this is likely to be a cagey affair, but De Minaur has a slight edge as the local boy.
