Benjamin Bonzi clinched the title of the ninth edition of the Open Pays D’Aix CEPAC. The top seed of the €90,280 ATP Challenger Tour clay-court event hosted by the Country Club Aixois in Aix-en-Provence defeated fellow Frenchman Gregoire Barrere 6-2, 6-4 in the singles final, which was postponed to Monday due to bad weather in Southern France.

Bonzi sent down three aces, won 79 per cent of his first-service points and 59 per cent of the total points played to prevail after one hour and six minutes. By lifting his eighth ATP Challenger career trophy, his second of the season after Cherbourg in February, the World No. 60 earned €12,250 in prize money as well as 100 ATP Ranking points.
