Tennis Tips today – Matches today from 20.09.
Qualification is over, here we go in the main draw! The four Grand Slams have recently ended, but the tennis year 2022 is far from over. In the coming days, we will be looking forward to France.
Here in Metz, some stars have announced themselves, not least Hubert Hurkacz and Daniil Medvedev. These two have one more day, starting with a walk-through. So the schedule for Tuesday focuses more on players who are not among the top favourites.
Among them is Dominic Thiem, who wants to make a name for himself in Metz after his final in Rennes. David Goffin, too, wants to show that he has not left his best days behind.

Tennis tips today – 20.09.2022
Dominic Thiem is aiming to go far in Metz after clearly losing the final in Rennes. Right in his 1st round he will be presented with a very experienced opponent in Richard Gasquet, who is very narrowly in the lead at the bookmakers.
Between Gilles Simon and David Goffin, the bookmakers clearly favour the Belgian. Could this be because the French hopeful had to pack his bags very early in Rennes?
Ugo Humbert should start with a lot of self-confidence, after all, it was he who stood at the top in Rennes. But now he has to face Benjamin Bonzi right at the beginning, not long ago that went badly wrong!
Adrian Mannarino is one of the best players in Metz, seeded eighth. He shouldn’t have any problems in his first round against Mikael Ymer, but can he really be so confident?
Tennis tips today broadcast: Where are the matches on 20.09.?
The ATP tournament in Metz is one of the smaller competitions, at home in the 250 range. Sky Sport Austria nevertheless has some rallies in the programme, but from a German point of view you have to make do with live streams.
Tennis tips today 20.09.: Richard Gasquet – Dominic Thiem (18:20 Uhr)
It was a very different set of emotions that Dominic Thiem went through last week in Rennes. He fought his way to the final in close matches, but was completely without a chance against Ugo Humbert.
He lost 3-6, 0-6, the good approaches from the first set were not enough. Now the 2016 champion from Metz is striving to continue to get good results, and there should be no exception against Richard Gasquet.
At 1:2 he is behind in the direct duel against the Frenchman, whether his odds are also a very small tick higher because of that? Gasquet was quite positive at the US Open, beating Taro Daniel and Mioimir Kecmanovic.
Only against Rafael Nadal was he no match for him. Gasquet has played here in Metz countless times, but the only year that produced a final was 2004, so it’s been an extremely long time!
Our Expert Tip: Win Gasquet
Tennis tips today 20.09.: Gilles Simon – David Goffin (18:00)
One is 37, the other 31? You really can’t complain about a lack of experience in the duel between David Goffin and Gilles Simon. The Belgian leads 3:2, but they haven’t met directly for a good three years.
More than 100 places are now between the two, which is also why Goffin is in the lead with odds of 1.30 to 3.40. He was the champion of Metz in 2014, and now, eight years later, he would like to build on that success.
After losing bitterly to Lorenzo Musetti in five sets at the US Open, he took a little time off. Gilles Simon, on the other hand, who was eliminated in the qualifying round in New York, tried his luck in Rennes.
He was knocked out again in the first round, losing 2-1 to Dominic Thiem, who was later to reach the final. He won only one match in the main draw in the last three months, which doesn’t exactly scare Goffin.
Our expert tip: 2:0 Goffin
Tennis tips today 20.09.: Ugo Humbert – Benjamin Bonzi (22:05 Uhr)
The fans in Metz will definitely have something to cheer about when two Frenchmen, Benjamin Bonzi and Ugo Humbert, take to the court at the same time. It was only a few weeks ago that the two met at the US Open.
In a real thriller, it was Bonzi who prevailed in the end after five sets. This time, however, Humbert will enter the tournament with fresh self-confidence, having taken the title at the Challenger in Rennes without losing a set.
Now in Metz he wants to prevent a third consecutive elimination in the first round. Bonzi, who cut a great figure in a 6-7, 4-6, 6-4, 4-6 loss to Nick Kyrgios in the 2nd round at the US Open, was not in the starting line-up here.
The world number 61 is making his debut in Metz, but with compatriot Humbert having triumphed in Rennes, he will have to settle for the role of underdog and odds of 2.10 to 1.70 on Tuesday.
Our expert tip: Over 22,5 Games
Tennis tips today 20.09.: Mikael Ymer – Adrian Mannarino (19:35)
Seeded at number 8, fans are hoping for a lot from Adrian Mannarino. He has reached the semi-finals once here in Metz, back in 2008, a record he is keen to improve on this year.
At the US Open, the 34-year-old disappointed all along the line, losing to Gijs Brouwer in three straight sets in the first round. Even the title he had won in Winston-Salem did not help him.
He played Mikael Ymer, his current opponent, once in the main draw and won. The bookmakers see him with a relatively narrow lead this Tuesday with 1.60 to 2.35. Is the Swede in top form?
The world number 100 also failed in round 1 in New York, so he could not repeat his strong semi-final at the Citi Open a few weeks earlier. In Metz he is only playing for the second time.
Our expert tip: 2 sets.
