ATP Metz — Cameron Norrie vs Lorenzo Sonego

ATP Metz Indoor Hard Semifinal

🧠 Form & Context

🇬🇧 Cameron Norrie (#27, lefty, 188 cm)

• 2025: 38–28 | Indoors 7–3.
• Metz: d. Royer 6–3, 6–7, 6–3; d. Cazaux 1–6, 7–6, 6–2; d. Jacquet 4–6, 7–6, 6–4.
• 🔁 Three straight 3-setters here, living in tiebreaks; H2H leads 2–1 (wins: IW ’24, Hong Kong ’25).

🇮🇹 Lorenzo Sonego (#42, righty, 191 cm)

• 2025: 25–28 | Indoors 8–5.
• Metz: d. Choinski 4–6, 6–4, 6–4; d. Cobolli 2–6, 6–3, 7–5; d. Altmaier 6–4, 7–6.
• 💥 Big first-strike indoor game; Metz pedigree (champion 2022). H2H trails 1–2 (win: Monte Carlo ’19).

🔍 Match Breakdown

Patterns: Norrie grinds with depth and lefty patterns (FH inside-out into Sonego’s BH), thriving in longer rallies and late-set return games. Sonego brings the bigger serve + forehand combo and is comfy in quick, first-strike exchanges under the roof.

Current week signals: Both have handled pressure—Norrie survived back-to-back breakers; Sonego just took out Altmaier in a TB and flipped two slow starts earlier. Expect at least one breaker again.

H2H/context: Recent meetings skew Norrie (2–1 overall; both wins in ’24–’25). Indoors this season is basically a wash (7–3 vs 8–5), so this likely comes down to who lands the higher first-serve clip in the business end.

Leverage points: Norrie’s return depth can bother Sonego’s second serve; Sonego must protect service games with +1 forehand patterns and avoid backhand-to-backhand length battles.

🔮 Prediction

Norrie in three — slight edge from recent H2H, lefty patterns into Sonego’s backhand, and proven tiebreak resilience this week. But Sonego’s indoor first-strike ceiling keeps the upset live if he serves at a high clip.

📊 Tale of the Tape (Qualitative)

• Form trend: Norrie steady in breakers; Sonego riding serve-first momentum.
• Surface fit: Indoors boosts Sonego’s first ball; Norrie’s return depth narrows margins.
• Clutch factor: Both winning key points this week; tilt Norrie in TB grind.
• H2H recency: Edge Norrie (2–1, wins in ’24–’25).
