The players left in the draw will try to make a final push before the off-season begins. No. 4 seed Flavio Cobolli and recent Rolex Shanghai Masters runner-up Arthur Rinderknech\u2019s matches are predicted. We here at LWOT predict the other action, including <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/2025\/11\/03\/atp-metz-day-3-predictions-norrie-cazaux\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Cameron Norrie vs Arthur Cazaux<\/a>, in a separate article. But who will advance?<\/p>\n<p>ATP Metz Day 3 Predictions<br \/>\nLuca Van Assche vs Kyrian Jacquet<\/p>\n<p>Head-to-head: First meeting<\/p>\n<p>Van Assche has endured a very disappointing 2025. His first Challenger Tour title in over two years in Olbia a few weeks ago was a welcome exception. The Frenchman\u2019s falling out of favor is shown by his having to qualify in Metz instead of getting a wild card. Jacquet also won a Challenger Tour title a few weeks ago. Both men will view this as a significant opportunity to get a win at the ATP 250 level. I narrowly favor Van Assche\u2019s defence to prove the difference in front of a home crowd, but it could go either way.<\/p>\n<p>Prediction: Van Assche in 3<\/p>\n<p>Arthur Rinderknech vs Daniel Altmaier<\/p>\n<p>Head-to-head: First meeting<\/p>\n<p>Rinderknech may feel he deserves a title after losing to his cousin Valentin Vacherot in the Rolex Shanghai Masters final, and then to the same man in Paris last week. This is a challenging opening round draw against an opponent who beat Casper Ruud last week. I think Rinderknech can effectively expose Altmaier\u2019s one-handed backhand in the rallies with his own excellent two-hander. That makes this a challenging matchup for the German.<\/p>\n<p>Prediction: Rinderknech in 2<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"nmY-VQxmRHJWj7L8aNoIQw\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2243525153\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Flavio Cobolli vs Lorenzo Sonego<\/p>\n<p>Head-to-head: First meeting<\/p>\n<p>Cobolli used to struggle severely on hard courts, but has significantly improved outside the clay. Both Italians prefer playing from the baseline, but Cobolli has the benefit of a massive forehand. Sonego doing everything solidly does not change the reality of this match being on Cobolli\u2019s racket. Although he remains most reliable on clay, I think Cobolli will have enough to beat his compatriot.<\/p>\n<p>Prediction: Cobolli in 2<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo Credit: Susan Mullane \u2013 USA TODAY Sports<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Six ATP Metz matches are scheduled for Tuesday.
