–

There were a lot of withdrawals from Metz before this season-ending tournament.

But the French fans likely aren’t complaining. Because four of the eight quarterfinalists are French.

And they play each other – thus guaranteeing two semifinalists.

In Sofia, the only seeding that went according to form will see another Frenchman, No. 2 seed Adrian Mannarino, take on No. 7 seed Sebastian Ofner.

(Metz is six hours ahead of EST; Sofia is seven hours ahead).
