The 2025 Montpellier Open is the only ATP tournament with ranking points available this week. There are also decent financial rewards on offer for the players.
1983 French Open champion Yannick Noah won the first iteration of the event in 1987. It was held in Lyon until 2009 before moving to its current location of Montpellier. Several top players have starred at the tournament since its inception.
Former champions include two-time Australian Open winner Jannik Sinner, Pete Sampras, Andy Roddick, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, and Gael Monfils. Alexander Bublik is the defending champion after recovering from losing the first set of the final against Borna Coric.
Richard Gasquet is the tournament's most successful player, having won four titles. The 2025 edition is the 38-year-old's final appearance at the event before retiring at this year's French Open at Roland Garros.
Although ATP 250 events like the Montpellier Open do not contain the same financial and ranking point incentives as Grand Slams, Masters 1000, and ATP 500 tournaments, players who go far will be compensated well in Montpellier.
The tournament, which is officially called the Open Occitanie for sponsorship reasons, runs from January 27th until February 2nd, and players will split a total of €673,360 in prize money.
The 2025 Montpellier Open champion will earn €90,680 for that impressive effort and add 250 ranking points to their total. Defending champion Bublik, the No. 4 seed at this year's Montpellier Open, received a bye into the second round along with No. 1 seed Andrey Rublev.
Alexander Zverev, who was protested during his Australian Open runner-up speech, Sampras, and Jim Courier are among the players who have finished as runner-ups at the Montpellier Open, showing the impressive entry lists the event has attracted over the years.
The 2025 runner-up in Southern France is set to receive €52,890 and 165 ranking points. It used to be 150 points until the start of 2024, when the ATP changed the system to give the second-best players at an ATP 250 tournament 15 more points.
Felix Auger-Aliassime and Holger Rune were the losing semifinalists at the 2024 Montpellier Open. The two players who replicate that achievement will receive €31,090 and 100 points for reaching that point.
Four men will be defeated in the quarterfinals. Two main draw wins are needed to get that far, and the reward for achieving that is not bad. 50 ranking points and €18,015 are on offer for being among the best eight players in Montpellier.
The top four seeds were given byes into the round of 16, meaning the other 12 need or needed to win a first-round match to reach that stage. 25 ranking points and €10,460 are awarded to the players who manage that.
No ranking points are given to those who lose in the opening round, but those men will still receive €6,390. That money is beneficial to lower-ranked players who reached the main draw and are scrapping to make a living from tennis.
The 2025 Montpellier Open made a fascinating start on the opening two days. That included three-time Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka playing against Arthur Cazaux, but the Swiss legend fell in straight sets after an impressive performance from his opponent.
