The 2023 Lyon Open will be played from May 21st to 27th and the draw promises a lot of competitive action at this ATP 250 event.
As the Roland Garros draws closer, the ATP Tour lands in Lyon, France, for the 2023 Lyon Open. The star-studded draw promises thrilling matches, potential upsets, and many high-profile names competing in the French city.
Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime, who is one of the wild card recipients, enters the tournament as the top seed, enjoying a bye in the first round. However, the road ahead isn't easy. Auger-Aliassime could face a potential stumbling block in the second round, with a potential matchup against Max Purcell or a qualifier.
Hot on his heels, Britain's Cameron Norrie holds the second seed. Also benefiting from a first-round bye, Norrie has been in outstanding form, but he too will have to navigate a tricky draw to keep his title hopes alive.
Gael Monfils, a veteran of the ATP Tour, could shake things up with his flair and penchant for the dramatic. The Frenchman will start against Pedro Cachin in the first round with a possible match against the sixth-seeded Sebastian Baez in the second round.
Meanwhile, third seed Tommy Paul and fourth seed Francisco Cerundolo could emerge as dark horses. Both players have shown consistent performances, and if they can maintain their form, they might make a significant impact in the tournament.
Given that the Lyon Open is played on clay, players with a proven record on this surface could gain an edge. Richard Gasquet, the seventh seed, and Diego Schwartzman have historically excelled on clay, and they might leverage this advantage in the tournament.
Returning from injury is Jack Draper, who will start against Alexandre Muller in the first round and he can face a difficult second-round test. To see the full draw for the 2023 Lyon Open, be sure to check it out below.
