–

The seeds fell a fair bit in Metz this week. But the Frenchmen persevere, giving the tournament a nice lease on success in terms of fan engagement.

In Sofia, two of the top three seeds are in the semifinals.

But you get the sense that everyone is on fumes – even though the wonder that is 36-year-old Fabio Fognini is looking like a kid again.

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