10 THINGS TO WATCH IN METZ

1) We’re Going Inside: Indoor tennis will be played for the first time since February at tournaments in Metz and St. Petersburg this week. Ten Frenchman are scheduled for the Moselle Open, including three-time champion Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. Back from left knee surgery, Tsonga will be joined in Metz by US Open semi-finalist Kei Nishikori and #NextGenATP sensation Stefanos Tsitsipas.

2) Much-Anticipated Return: Tsonga has not played since the Open Sud de France semi-finals in Montpellier on 10 February. Nine days later, the former World No. 5 dropped outside the Top 25 for the first time since he reached the 2008 Australian Open final. Tsonga is 18-3 at the Moselle Open and making his first appearance since defeating two-time champion Gilles Simon in the 2015 final.

3) All These Years: Simon, a fellow 33-year-old Frenchman, was a teenager when he made his ATP World Tour debut at the 2004 Moselle Open. Also in the draw was Richard Gasquet, who reached the final as an 18-year-old wild card ranked 151st. Gasquet and Simon return this week with 15 and 13 ATP titles respectively, though Gasquet has yet to capture the Moselle Open championship.

4) No. 1 Frenchman: Lucas Pouille upset David Goffin and Dominic Thiem for the first of his five ATP World Tour titles at the 2016 Moselle Open. But beginning with his loss to Marius Copil at 2017 Metz, Pouille has been defeated in his opening match at 10 tournaments over the last year.

5) Young Musketeers: Other Frenchmen in the field include Quentin Halys, Ugo Humbert and Corentin Moutet. All three wild cards are between the ages of 19 and 21 with career-high rankings between No. 102 and No. 109. Humbert qualified and won his tour-level debut at the US Open.

6) Title Drought: Nishikori has played 45 tour-level events since his 11th and most recent title at 2016 Memphis. Nevertheless, his results and ranking are on the rise in 2018. The World No. 12 reached the Wimbledon quarter-finals, US Open semi-finals and ATP Masters 1000 Monte-Carlo final.

7) New Sensation: What Nishikori has done for tennis in Japan, Tsitsipas is doing in Greece. His breakout season has featured one first after another for Greeks, including entry into the Top 15, a fourth-round run at Wimbledon and four Top 10 wins to reach the ATP Masters 1000 Toronto final.

8) Pride of Georgia: Nikoloz Basilashvili also set several records recently for his nation. Basilashvili won the Hamburg title on 29 July to become the first champion and highest-ranked player ever from Georgia. He’s up to No. 31 after becoming the first Georgian to reach the US Open fourth round.

9) Unlikely Champion: Peter Gojowczyk had never reached an ATP World Tour final entering the 2017 Moselle Open. Ranked 95th at the time, Gojowczyk of Germany became the second qualifier and second-lowest ranked player to claim the Metz title after No. 185 Jerome Haehnel in 2004.

10) Title Town: Nicolas Mahut and Edouard Roger-Vasselin, the 2012 Metz doubles champions, will reunite this week. Mahut also won the title with Julien Benneteau in 2003 and Arnaud Clement in 2004, while Roger-Vasselin also won the title with Lukasz Kubot in 2015 and Benneteau in 2017.
