Monfils, Gasquet Look To Make It 6 For 10 In Montpellier; All You Need To Know

Frenchmen have triumphed at all but two editions of the Open Sud de France, and former champions Gael Monfils and Richard Gasquet will be among those looking to continue the tradition as Montpellier celebrates the 10th edition of the ATP 250 tournament.

Monfils, who is set to be the top seed, captured the title at the inaugural edition in 2010 (d. Ljubicic) and again in 2014 (d. Gasquet). Gasquet reached six consecutive Montpellier finals from 2013-18, and won his tournament-record three singles titles in 2013 and 2015-16. The duo will be joined in the field by countrymen Gilles Simon, Adrian Mannarino, recent ASB Classic titlist Ugo Humbert, 2019 finalist Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Gregoire Barrere.

Belgium’s David Goffin, #NextGenATP Canadians Denis Shapovalov and Felix Auger-Aliassime, Spaniard Pablo Carreno Busta and Next Gen ATP Finals champion Jannik Sinner also feature.
