The official entry list for the next Open 13, scheduled from February 10 to 16, is complete. There will be a strong tricolor colony. Titled last year, Ugo Humbert will return to the Palais des sports. Messin will be surrounded by Hubert Hurkacz, Karen Khachanov et Arthur Son. But the big thing is the return of Gaël Monfils. Since his quarter-final defeat in 2017 against Richard GasquetLa Monfe “sulked” the ordeal. After his title obtained in Auckland, he will obviously be one of the attractions. This will be his ninth participation. He came very close to the title in 2016, beaten 7-6 in the third set by Gilles Simon.

If the draw is naughty, a rematch of the first round of the Australian Open against Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard could take place. The other blues admitted directly are Benjamin Bonzi – finalist in 2023 – and Quentin Halys. The cut is 83. Open 13 competes with Buenos Aires and Delray Beach. Jean-François Caujolle, the event director will study wild card requests. Richard Gasquet, a few months before his retirement, has surely made his own.
