LiontipsVan Assche vs Norrie. Prediction and bets on the ATP Metz match
Command Analysis
Current form
Van Assche entered the main draw of the competition in Metz as a lac loser. Lucas initially failed the qualification, where he lost to Gregoire Barrère in the first round of selection. It should be noted that this season the Frenchman has seven wins and eight losses indoors.
Professional qualities
Van Assche is a typical clay tennis player who prefers to build his game from the baseline. The Frenchman has good technique, uses a variety of shots, and often waits for his opponent to make a mistake or for an opportune moment to attack. Lucas is especially good on the return.

Van Assche is currently ranked outside the top 100 in the world rankings at 112th place. He has played in the semi-finals three times this season, reaching this stage at tournaments in Phoenix, Helbronn and Roanne.
Interesting facts for betting
Van Assche is defending his quarter-final appearance in Metz last year.
Current form
Norrie started the tournament in Metz with a strong-willed victory over Roberto Carballes Baena (3-6, 6-4, 6-3). Cameron served nine aces, converted four break points and lost three games on his serve in the match against the Spaniard. The Briton has three wins in seven matches indoors this season.
Professional qualities
Norrie is a versatile player, although he is usually considered a specialist on fast surfaces. However, two of his five titles have been won on slow clay. The Briton, who holds his racket in his left hand, creates additional difficulties for his opponents. His flat and fast two-handed forehand is especially dangerous when Cameron enters the court, as it becomes almost impossible to receive.
Current indicators in the tour
Norrie is currently ranked 57th in the world, although he was once ranked eighth. Cameron has no trophies to his name this season. His best result this year was on clay in Rio de Janeiro, where he reached the semi-finals.
