Metz: Cazaux Takes Down His Compatriot Mannarino!
In an all-French duel, Arthur Cazaux dominated Adrian Mannarino to claim his 25th victory of the season. A win that confirms the rising form of the young player from Montpellier.
The 23-year-old Frenchman, ranked 62nd in the world, did not falter against his compatriot Adrian Mannarino, ranked 60th, who is nevertheless far more experienced.
On the Centre Court in Metz, the young Frenchman delivered an impressive performance: aggressive on the return (36% of return points won), solid on his serve (83% of points won behind his first serve). The result: a 6-3, 7-6 victory in 1 hour and 46 minutes.
Next up: a Round of 16 match against either Hugo Royer or Cameron Norrie, the world number 31.
