Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?
Pierre-Hugues Herbert, a 33-year-old French player ranked at World No. 127, will be facing his compatriot Quentin Halys in their first ever tour-level meeting. In their previous encounter at the Vienna Q tournament in Austria, Herbert emerged victorious after a hard-fought battle, with a final scoreline of 6-2, 5-7, 6-3.
Herbertโs career has seen him reach a career-high ranking of No. 36 back in February 2019, following his appearance in the final at the 2019 Montpellier tournament. One of his notable accomplishments includes defeating No. 5-ranked Stefanos Tsitsipas, marking the biggest win of his career en route to his fourth ATP Tour singles final in 2021 at Marseille. Furthermore, Herbert formed a formidable doubles partnership with his countryman Nicolas Mahut, who is nine years his senior. Their partnership contributed to Herbert achieving a career-high No. 2 doubles ranking in 2016.
In terms of doubles achievements, Herbert and Mahut have secured a remarkable feat by completing a career Grand Slam in doubles. They have claimed titles at the US Open in 2015, Wimbledon in 2016, Roland Garros in 2018, the Australian Open in 2019, and another Roland Garros victory in 2021. Additionally, they have also captured the Nitto ATP Finals doubles titles in 2019 and 2021, despite a missed championship point opportunity in 2018.
Herbert and Mahut have displayed their prowess in several tour-level doubles finals, holding a record of 21 wins and 8 losses. Their success includes winning titles at ATP Masters 1000s, with a record of 7 wins and 2 losses, each victory attained with a different partner.
For Herbert, this tournament represents a chance to reach his 15th ATP Tour quarterfinal, with a previous 8-6 record in this stage.

Notably, Herbertโs most recent ATP Tour quarterfinals have come on home soil, with appearances at Montpellier in 2020, Marseille in 2021, and Metz in 2023. If successful in reaching the quarterfinals, Herbert would become the first lucky loser since Maden in 2018 to advance to this stage in Metz.
