The Open Occitanie (ATP 250) recorded the arrival of one of the best players in the world, in the person of the Russian Andrey Rublev, present in Montpellier for the 15th edition, from January 26 to February 2.
That's it, the organizers of the Occitanie Open are living up to their big name: defeated in the first round of the Australian Open by the Brazilian Joao Fonseca, Andrey Rublev (9th in the world) will come to Montpellier to compete in the 15th edition of the tournament at the South of France Arena.

As announced by Free Midday and confirmed by the Open in a press release, the former world No.5 in 2021, the Russian will be lined up for the Hérault tournament for the second time in his career since he had already come in 2018, then aged 20 and in 36th place in the world. That year, he lost against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the quarter-finals.
-A rather complete picture
Beneficiary of a wild card, Rublev completes a rather complete table in which will be present the American Sebastian Korda (22nd), the Canadian Félix Auger-Aliassime (23rd), the Swiss Stan Wawrinbka (156th), the French Gaël Monfils ( 41st), Richard Gasquet (132nd) – for his last participation before his retirement – or even Alexandre Muller (58th), Corentin Moutet (69th), as well as the local of the stage, the Montpellier Arthur Cazaux (78th).
