American Reilly Opelka and Denis Shapovalov of Canada.
Team Europe has won the first four editions of the three-day

Moselle Open
No. 1 seed Hubert Hurkacz of Poland defeated No. 2 Pablo Carreno
Busta of Spain 7-6 (2), 6-3 to win his third ATP Tour title of
the season in Metz, France.
Hurkacz, who did not drop a set all week, struck nine aces and
converted four of his six break chances in the 82-minute final.
Including his titles earlier this season at Delray Beach and
Miami, the 24-year-old Hurkacz holds a 4-0 record in ATP Tour
finals.
Astana Open
South Korea's Soonwoo Kwon captured his first ATP Tour title
with a 7-6 (6), 6-3 victory against Australian James Duckworth
in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan.
Kwon, 23, defeated three seeded players en route to the trophy
and became just the second South Korean man to win a tour-level
title in the Open Era, joining 2003 Sydney champion Hyung-Taik
Lee.
Kwon saved three set points in the opening-set tiebreak before
breaking Duckworth's serve twice in the second set to win in one
hour and 38 minutes.
