Discover the tables of the ATP tournaments in Lyon and Geneva, which will serve as the final rehearsal before Roland-Garros. Almost all the French will play this week, but also world No. 2 Daniil Medvedev.
If no French were present at the Masters 1000 in Rome, they will however be in force during the Lyon tournament, preparatory to Roland-Garros. Even before the start of qualifying, they are eight to appear in the main draw. Gaël Monfils, back after his foot injury, will be seeded n°3 and exempted from the first round. Lucas Pouille and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (who will play the penultimate tournament of his career) have received wild cards. The No. 1 and No. 2 seeds are Cameron Norrie and Pablo Carreno Busta.
