The Tournament:

The Moselle Open (Open de Moselle from 2003 to 2010) is a professional tennis tournament played on indoor hard courts. It´s part of the ATP World Tour 250 series of the ATP Tour from 2003. The venue for the tournament was most recently the Arènes and was the Parc des Expositions from 2011 to 2013. Between 1980 and 1989 it was part of the Grand Prix tennis circuit.

The tournament is one of the four French events of the ATP's 250 series, with the Open 13 and the Open Sud de France and Lyon Open.

About Metz:

Metz is a city in northeast France located at the confluence of the Moselle and the Seille rivers. Metz is the prefecture of the Moselle department and the seat of the parliament of the Grand Est region. Located near the tripoint along the junction of France, Germany, and Luxembourg, the city forms a central place of the European Greater Region and the SaarLorLux euroregion.

Metz has a rich 3,000-year-history, having variously been a Celtic oppidum, an important Gallo-Roman city, the Merovingian capital of Austrasia, the birthplace of the Carolingian dynasty, a cradle of the Gregorian chant, and one of the oldest republics in Europe. The city has been steeped in Romance culture, but has been strongly influenced by Germanic culture due to its location and history.

Speaking of "collapses," Fernando Verdasco was looking really great v. Krajinovic today, and managed to lose. He won the first, and looked untouchable early in the 2nd. Classic Verdasco fail. Though, in fairness, Krajinovic is a creditable player. But he doesn't have the same weapons.

What a lot of empty Stadiums ! The ATP is going to go into a post Fedalnovic fan attendance drop.

Bedene v Tsonga final. Hopefully Jo-Wil to thrill the home crowd. (H2H 1-0 in Tsonga's favor, but on clay, at RG, so also in France.)
