The final of the 2025 Moselle Open will see seventh-seeded Cameron Norrie face a young American, Learner Tien. Norrie, who was the runner-up last year in Metz, has been the heartbreaker for the local crowd this year, as he had to fight off three consecutive French opponents in his first three matches.
He won three tough three-set matches against the likes of Valentin Royer, Arthur Cazaux, and Kyrian Jacquet before winning 4-6, 6-2, 6-4 against Lorenzo Sonego in the semifinal.
On the other hand, Tien began his campaign in Metz with a 6-3, 6-3 win over local favorite Ugo Blanchet in the first round, followed by a 7-6 (3), 6-3 win over Tunisian lucky loser Moez Echargui in the second round. In the quarterfinals, he came back from a set down to win 5-7, 6-2, 6-3 against Matteo Berrettini, and then had a dominant 6-1, 6-4 win over the Ukrainian lucky loser, Vitaliy Sachko, in the semifinals.

Norrie vs Tien Head-to-Head
After three meetings, Tien has a 2-1 lead over Norrie in their respective head-to-head rivalry.

Norrie vs Tien Prediction
In their most recent match in Shanghai, Norrie won 55 percent of his service points and 36 percent of the return points. On the other hand, Tien won 64 percent of the service points and 45 percent of the second serve points.
The key deciding factor in that match that swung the result in favor of the American was his ability to attack Norrie’s second serve. Tien won 17 of the 21 points on the Brit’s second serve, while he maintained a 46 percent win rate behind his second serve. The American won 4 of the 6 break points he got in the match, playing sharp tennis in crunch situations, whereas Norrie could convert only 2 of the 10 break point opportunities.
Norrie has a 10-3 win-loss record on indoor courts this year, with this run in Metz being his best result. On the other hand, Tien has had a 5-1 win-loss record on indoor courts this year, with the Moselle Open being only his second indoor event this year.
For Norrie to win the title, he needs to get as many first serves in as possible, as Tien has a good read on the Brit’s second serve. For the American, it is imperative to stay sharp on break point opportunities and serve well. However, Norrie has had previous success in Metz, and this is only the second career final for Tien, which would give the slight edge to the Brit in the upcoming match.
Pick– Norrie to win in three sets.
