Cameron Norrie vs Corentin Moutet preview
Former Wimbledon semifinalist Cameron Norrie will face local favorite Corentin Moutet in the semifinal of the 2024 Moselle Open. Norrie, the former World No. 8, has failed to replicate his success in the subsequent seasons due to a lack of consistency and injury concerns, which saw the British player forego the entire North American hardcourt swing in 2024. He entered the Moselle Open on the back of a three-match losing streak, with his last win coming in July.
At Metz, the World No. 57 began his campaign with a 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 win over Roberto Carballes Baena in the first round. Next, the Brit went past Luca Van Assche in the second round, winning 6-3, 3-6, 6-1. He then secured a 6-3, 6-7 (6), 6-1 win over Zizou Bergs in the quarterfinal to reach his second semifinal of the season, after reaching the last-four stage at the Rio Open earlier this year.
2024 has been a poor season for Corentin Moutet as the Frenchman only won 12 of the 28 matches he played before the Moselle Open. His best results of the season came at the Chile Open, where the French player reached the semifinal, losing 6-4, 4-6, 5-7 against Alejandro Tabilo.
At the Moselle Open, Moutet started his tournament with a win via retirement against Sumit Nagal as the Indian withdrew from the match during the second set. Moutet then caused an upset, winning 7-6 (5), 5-7, 6-3 against seventh-seeded Jan-Lennard Struff in the second round. He got a walkover against Andrey Rublev in the quarterfinal, as the top seed withdrew from the event.

Cameron Norrie vs Corentin Moutet prediction
During their last match at Bercy in 2022, Moutet won 67 percent of his service points and 40 percent of his return points. Norrie won 60 and 33 percent of his service and return points respectively. The Brit 34 winners but made 27 unforced errors, whereas the Frenchman hit 50 winners while making only 15 unforced errors in the match.
Overall, Norrie is yet to reach the indoor hardcourt final but has three hardcourt titles to his name, the last of which came at the 2022 Delray Beach Open. On the other hand, Moutet has yet to win a title on the Tour, with his only Final appearance coming at the 2020 Qatar Open.
Norrie is gradually getting back to his old form, whereas Moutet has been inconsistent throughout the season. The Brit will be the slight favorite to win the match and reach his first final in 2024.
Pick- Norrie to win in straight sets
