The Moselle Open 2024 edition is over. Benjamin Bonzi is crowned in Metz, on this ATP 250. A grand final, a great winner, and above all, a week rich in emotions…
This tournament that made us smile… Smile of this moment spent with family or friends… Smile of victory or of this lived experience…
From this competition where the word Lucky Loser has become common in our language.
Where the qualifying phase was far from being anecdotal.
Where the word forfeit was on everyone's lips.
Our mouths which have learned to have to pronounce names… damn names…
Some people immediately came up with Papamalamis, others preferred to say Theo La Malice. It was not Yunchaokete “Buuu” but “Bou”. Some say De “JJJong”, others will choose “De Yong”. But it doesn't matter.
More or less famous players, whom we have gotten to know… Together… You wanted to say hello to Ruud, Dimitrov and Rublev. You are now delighted to have met Alex, Zizou, Benjamin and Corentin.
These internationals, and especially these French, or rather these childhood friends.
We dreamed of Humbert's double, he put on a show at Bercy. We dreamed of a final final where it all began for Gasquet, he gave everything he had in him.
We dreamed of the French number 1, he did the show as a VIP.
We dreamed of an emblematic heir, he organized the tournament with passion and desire.
From the highest managers, to the canteen, including these young people
pickers,
Everything revolved around this yellow ball,
Everything revolved around the Metz arenas,
Everything revolved around the Moselle.
It took silence…
To be silent, to appreciate…
A gesture…
To listen to the sound that joy makes…
And then better exult…
It is in these rare, fleeting moments,
Where emotions open up, are freed.
You will tell me that this 21st edition saw a lot of abandonments,
I will tell you that it has experienced many rebounds.
In 8 days, we have moments engraved, In a frantic pace!
But now, like every special moment…
We will have to return to our mundane daily life…
To say that together, we vibrated, And above all, to remember our smiles, forever.
