No thread about this guy yet?

He is 18 years old and climbing the rankings, especially since his SF in Milan a week ago.

qualified for his first ATP world event today in Gstaad after beating local Lammer.

I'd love to see him take a set from Wawrinka.

Thanks man!

[Ad Wim]

Good thing he qualified for Gstaad, that will get in more into the picture and maybe give him a WC sometime.

Too bad he lost in 3rd round qualification again at Segovia last week. Maybe he should stick to playing smaller challengers, like the ones in Russia right now, he would be directly in...

[mgorganchian]

IMO, he is the Argentinian player with more future...

Below his last results:

Last week he Qualified to San Sebastian:
First Round #339 (1)Federico del Bonis (ARG) bye
Second Round #339 (1)Federico del Bonis (ARG) d. #674 Pedro Sousa (POR) 6-1 6-3
Qualifying Round #339 (1)Federico del Bonis (ARG) d. #607 (8)Thomas Cazes-Carrere (FRA) 6-3 6-2

but then lost to:
#327 Gabriel Trujillo (ESP) d. #339 (q)Federico del Bonis (ARG) 6-4 7-5


This week in Manerbio, Italy he qualified again!!!

First Round [3] Federico Del Bonis (ARG) a Tim Goransson (SWE) 6-2/6-2
Second Round [3] Federico Del Bonis (ARG) a Manuel Jorquera (ITA) 6-4/7-6
Qualifying Round [3] Federico Del Bonis (ARG) a [8] Marc Sierber (ALE) 6-2/6-2

I expect he can win 1 or 2 more matches and earn some useful points, so he can avoid doing qualies in the next tournament, he is almost very near the cuts...


If you see this this year he had played lots of qualies and won most of them...

Manerbio ch 75H- qualified and still playing...
San Sebastian 35H - qualifed, lost 1st round
Segovia 125H - lost in qualifying round.
Gstaad ATP 250 - qualified, lost 1st round.
Recanti 35H - lost in qualifying round but entered as LL and lost in 2nd Round.
Cordoba 100H - lost in qualifying round.
Braunschweig 125H - qualified, lost 1st round.
Milan 35H - qualified, lost SemiFinal.
Napoli 100H - qualified, lost Quarter Final.

If he were from a country that has more challengers tournaments he would had been already playing as direct aceptance and would have had 3 or more WC to the entry draw but seems that finaly he break it through and would start avoiding qualies soon...

[Ad Wim]

He's doing very well, demolishing everyone in Challenger qualifying but is unlucky with the draws. This week he has a good draw so hopefully some well-needed points. Anyhow, good to see him play almost every week.

Maybe he should stick to some big futures. He probably gets very far in those, because they're the same players as in challenger qualifying, so maybe he earns more points that way.

in the finals of Manerbio challenger tomorow
