First-Time Winner Spotlight: Lucas Pouille

How does it feel to win your first ATP World Tour title in Metz? I’m very happy. It’s a big honour to win my first ATP World Tour title in France, in front of family and friends.

I’ve played to win since I was young so this one means a lot. What did you do differently this time, compared to your first final in Bucharest? This time I knew what time the match was starting, since in Bucharest it was raining quite a...
