The Metz Arenas will vibrate Tennis from Saturday 02 to Saturday 09 November 2024 for the 21st edition of the Moselle Open. This year again, the ATP 250 tournament displays a particularly attractive sporting picture, and player names at the highest level in the world.
From the qualifications, which will take place on Saturday 02 and Sunday 03 Novemberthe names of certain players should arouse the attention of those who keep an eye on the sport. Arthur CAZAUX, who has just stopped in the 8th final against Casper RUUDE (also present in Metz, as top seed), the French Benjamin BONZI, Pierre-Hugues HERBERT, Luca VAN ASSCHE or the young Moselle hopeful Théo PAPAMALAMIS, for which this will be the first ATP 250 tournament.
4 players will come out of this qualifying phase to join those in the main draw. The organizers of the Moselle Open have no reason to shy away from the names who wanted to play in the Metz set, nor from their ranking.

A start under the sign of spectacle
The draw for the Moselle Open 2024 qualifying table took place just after a roaring start and to the laughter of an audience delighted to discover the match exhibition men’s doubles concocted by the organizers.
The Mosellan Olivier MUTIS was in fact associated with the famous and indescribable Mansour BAHRAMI to face the duo Jo-Wilfied TSONGA / Dustin BROWN. The latter won the match, but this anecdote had little importance for the public, very quickly won over by the spirit, the relaxation and the players' escapades… under the nose of a referee who (fortunately) had to swallow several times his desire to signal moves that were as forbidden as they were amusing.
After this moment, which is very popular with the spectators, it's time for the tournament, starting with the qualifications which should attract more and more people every year.
