Cilic, Tsonga Meet Handball Stars In Montpellier

The courts at the Open Sud de France are set for the ATP World Tour 250 tournament this week, but that doesn’t mean they can’t also be used for a little handball!

Top two seeds Marin Cilic and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga were put to the test when French handball stars Vincent Gerard and Michael Guigou joined them on Tuesday in Montpellier. Gerard and Guigou, who play for the French national team, were fresh off a World Championship win and primed to challenge the ATP stars.
