After the Open Sud de France in Montpellier at the beginning of February, it’s time for Marseille and the Open 13 tennis tournament all week long on L’Équipe live! Very high level table with the presence of Stefanos Tsitsipas, 4th player in the world, and Felix Auger Aliassime, 9th in the world, who has just won his first career tournament against… the Greek in Rotterdam! The two headliners could meet in the quarter-finals.
Richard Gasquet, in form at the start of the season, showed great things in Montpellier and wants to continue on the same path in Marseille
Richard Gasquet for a revenge
The serious things start this Monday around 4 p.m. with the first match between the Italian Stefano Travaglia and the Swiss Henri Laaksonen. Will follow the entry into the running of Richard Gasquet, quarter-finalist in Montpellier, and who finds the Swede Mikael Ymer who had eliminated him after a match of very good quality.
Franco-French duels on the menu
They will be 8 French in total in the Marseille final draw, and two Franco-French duels will animate the first round: face-to-face of “grandpas” between Gilles Simon and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, triple winner of the Open 13, and a clash of “youngsters” between Corentin Moutet and Hugo Gaston, to find Stefanos Tsitsipas in the second round. Finalist last year, Pierre-Hugues Herbert starts against a qualifier. Lucas Pouille and Benjamin Bonzi will try to regain confidence in Marseille.
