(Metz) Italian Lorenzo Sonego, 65e in the world rankings, won the ATP 250 tournament in Metz on Sunday by outclassing Kazakhstan’s Alexander Bublik (44e) in two sets 7-6 (7/3), 6-2 and 1 hour 26 minutes into the game.
The Transalpine won the third title of his career after Antalya (2019) and Cagliari (2021) and thus completed an almost perfect week at the Moselle Open where he did not lose a single round.
On Saturday, he had already created a surprise by beating in two sets 7-6 (7/5), 6-4 the Pole Hubert Hurkacz, defending champion and 10e in the ATP rankings, without conceding any break points.
This victory will reassure Sonego who had a difficult 2022 season (18 wins, 24 losses) after having had a prosperous year in 2021 with in particular a title and a final on the circuit which had enabled him to reach his best world ranking, 21eat the end of the year.
