The draw for the 15th edition of the Moselle Open was held on Saturday evening in Metz, France; 4th seeded Gilles Muller of Luxembourg received a bye in the first round and will play either Nikoloz Basilashvili of Georgia or a qualifier in the 2nd round.
He is in the bottom half of the draw with 2nd seeded David Goffin, tournament champion in 2014.
The 3rd wildcard announced was Germany’s Dustin Brown. In an unusual twist, all three wildcards are placed together in the top half of the draw.
