Sixth-seeded Arthur Rinderknech will begin his campaign at the 2025 Moselle Open with a match against Daniel Altmaier in the first round. Rinderknech’s overall record in the 2025 season might not flatter. Still, the Frenchman has had some massive results, including reaching the final of the Shanghai Masters and the semifinal in Kitzbuhel. He also had an impressive run at the US Open, where eventual champion Carlos Alcaraz defeated him in the fourth round.
Meanwhile, Altmaeir has had a season to forget so far, with the German player losing more than winning this year. He had his best result on the Challenger Tour, reaching the semifinal at the Turin Challenger. On the main Tour, he had quarterfinal runs in Rotterdam and Marseille and also an impressive fourth-round appearance at the French Open.

Rinderknech vs Altmaier Prediction
Rinderknech’s career finals have both come on hard courts, but the Frenchman has yet to reach an indoor final. He is a former doubles runner-up at the Moselle Open, having reached the final with Hugo Nys back in 2021. He has won four indoor hard-court titles on the Challenger Tour, the last one coming at the Play In Challenger in France, where he won against Joris De Loore in the final.
Altmaier has yet to reach a Tour-level final in his career, with his most notable challenger results coming on clay. He has reached four hard-court finals on the Challenger Tour, including one indoors at the 2021 Knoxville Challenger, where he lost to Christopher Eubanks.
Rinderknech has played in only three indoor events this year, winning two matches. Coming into the Moselle Open, he had a second-round exit at the Paris Masters, losing to Valentin Vacherot. On the other hand, Altmaier has reached the quarterfinals at indoor events in Rotterdam and Marseille. He also had a decent run at the Paris Masters, winning against the likes of Marcos Giron and Casper Ruud, before losing to Felix Auger-Aliassime in the third round.
Altmaier might have some good form on indoor courts going into the match, but recent form and the crowd support should hand Rinderknech a decisive advantage.
