Britain's Cameron Norrie was unable to finish a frustrating season on a high as he lost to France's Benjamin Bonzi in the Moselle Open final.
Hunting his first ATP title since February 2023, 29-year-old Norrie was beaten 7-6 (8-6) 6-4 by the home favourite in Metz.
Norrie, ranked 57th in the world, was aiming to lift the trophy in only his fourth tournament back on the main tour, having missed almost three months with a forearm injury.
The former world number eight has dropped out of the top 50 as a result of the enforced absence.
