–
After a Davis Cup week filled with Challengers (and still many more this week), the ATP Tour returns with tournaments in Metz, France and Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan.
The Metz event will kick off Monday with Canadian Brayden Schnur, who beat French wild card Harold Mayot and qualified for the main draw. He’ll play Lucas Pouille in the first round.
And then, as an evening match, Vasek Pospisil took on French wild card Grégoire Barrere in the first round of the main draw and prevailed.
