The 2022 Moselle Open final in Metz will feature Kazakh Alexander Bublik, the seventh seed, and Italian Lorenzo Sonego.
The Kazakh has performed admirably throughout the entire competition and has defeated several players who are regarded as being of the highest calibre, like Holger Rune in the quarterfinals and Stan Wawrinka in the semifinals. Bublik had a lot of work to do in his semifinal match against the former World No. 3 because Wawrinka withdrew after just three games. Bublik already has one championship under his belt from Montepellier in 2022, and he will compete for a second one on Sunday.
In order to advance to the finals at Metz this year, Sonego defeated players like Aslan Karatsev, Gilles Simon, and Sebastian Korda. He faced second-seeded Hubert Hurkacz, the defending champion, in the semifinals. A close opening set ended in a tiebreaker thanks to the Italian’s ability to play just a little bit more aggressively than his rival. He won the match in straight sets (7-6(5), 6-4) after outserving Hurkacz in the second set, advancing to his third ATP final.

Lorenzo Sonego vs Alexander Bublik Prediction
Bublik is renowned for his extravagant style of play, which largely utilises his powerful serve. Sonego is equally aggressive as Bublik, albeit he has improved his consistency on the circuit. In comparison to his opponent, he is more reliable from the baseline and has a more consistent serve. Without a doubt, it will be a fun encounter for the spectators, with the Italian entering the contest as the favourite based on recent performance.
