The ATP 250 series continues in Metz, France, featuring intense indoor court action on day 4 with Learner Tien competing. Metz has long been a stage for exceptional tennis matches, and this year is no different.
Six Round of 16 matches are scheduled, previewed across two articles. Two French players entered the tournament as lucky losers: Kyrian Jacquet and Dan Added. Jacquet capitalized on his opportunity by winning the first round, while Added received a bye. Both are relatively inexperienced on the main tour, making the race to their first quarterfinal an exciting storyline.
Jacquet holds a higher ranking and recently won a challenger event. His momentum suggests he is likely to advance further in this tournament.
Moez Echargui also entered the draw as a lucky loser due to several last-minute withdrawals and benefited from a bye. However, his opening match will be challenging against Learner Tien, who has had a breakthrough season in 2025. Tien is expected to start strong and is a serious contender for the title this week.
Alexander Bublik, who has demonstrated excellent form in 2025, especially on indoor courts, will face Vitaliy Sachko. Sachko, lacking significant main tour experience, won his first-round match as a lucky loser, but Bublik is anticipated to assert dominance in this encounter.
