Benjamin Bonzi is one win from the Winston-Salem final after beating Van de Zandschulp 7-6, 6-4 in the quarterfinals. The result put him into the semifinals, where he will meet Ignacio Buse.
That makes Bonzi part of the last four in ATP Winston-Salem 2026, with the draw now set and the field narrowed to the matches that decide the title. He earned the place in a tight first set, then closed it out in straight sets, the kind of finish that can separate a contained run from a real threat.
The win matters because the ATP Winston-Salem 2026 semifinalists are now known, and Bonzi’s name is in a group that also includes Arthur Fery, James Duckworth and Ignacio Buse. Buse reached the last four after beating Juanma Cerúndolo 7-6, 4-6, 6-2, while Duckworth and Fery also advanced from the quarterfinals to complete the semifinal picture in Winston-Salem.
There is a broader rhythm to the day as the sport turns toward the US Open 2026 in New York, but Bonzi’s run still stands on its own. He was not handed an opening; he took it in a match that asked for control in the first-set tiebreak and steadiness after that, which is why a semifinal spot now feels earned rather than accidental.
Bonzi now gets Buse next, with one more win sending him into the final and keeping his late-summer run alive in a draw that has already settled into its decisive stage.
At the same time, the WTA Monterrey 2026 semifinals were also determined, underlining how quickly the week is moving on both tours. In Winston-Salem, though, Bonzi has already done the part that matters most: he won the quarterfinal, and the tournament has to deal with him now.
