ATP Metz Quarterfinals Preview: Key Matches and Predictions
The ATP 250 tournament in Metz has provided another exciting week of indoor hard-court tennis. Players who excel in fast conditions have advanced deep into the draw, and with semifinal spots now at stake, attention turns to the quarterfinal matches.
Kyrian Jacquet vs Cameron Norrie
Kyrian Jacquet has transformed his lucky loser entry into an impressive home performance, showcasing strong serving and confident shot-making in crucial moments.
Cameron Norrie, meanwhile, faced early challenges but has since adjusted to the quick indoor surface. His flatter backhand and more assertive forehand have delivered results as the tournament progressed.
"Norrie’s edge in experience at this stage and his ability to stay solid through tense rallies could prove crucial when the match tightens."
Prediction: Norrie in two sets.
Lorenzo Sonego vs Daniel Altmaier
Lorenzo Sonego has been particularly sharp from the baseline this week, finding consistency even behind his second serve, a key advantage on fast indoor courts.
Daniel Altmaier, while less accustomed to these conditions, has impressed with tactical defense and flexibility, proving competitive against players more suited to this environment.
Both players bring contrasting styles—Sonego’s aggression versus Altmaier’s endurance—which should make for a balanced contest.
