The 37th edition of the Montpellier Open, commonly known as Open Sud de France, will be played immediately after the conclusion of the first Grand Slam of 2024.
This Atp 250 tournament will run from January 29th to February 4th, consisting of a 28-player singles draw. The event will be played exclusively at Sud de France Arena, which is an indoor setting in the Montpellier suburb of Perols that houses almost 7,500 fans.
Some of the most iconic names in men's tennis have won this tournament in the past, including Yannick Noah, Pete Sampras, Yevgeny Kafelnikov, and Andy Roddick - all of whom have won a Grand Slam.
The tournament organizers have done their best to bring a pool of richly talented players despite the limiting factor around a very constrained schedule in which most top players will have been competing in the final stages of the 2024 Australian Open.

Nick Kyrgios is trying to back his point in the recent days, after he said that former legends would struggle today on the Atp Tour.
Only around a week ago, the Australian said that former legends wouldn't thrive in current days, saying the likes of Novak Djokovic would dominate against Pete Sampras.
As an example, Kyrgios used the speed of the first serve that players today reach, comparing it to slower serves in the past. However, one thing he forgot to consider is how much better equipment players have these days.
After his comments, Boris Becker responded swiftly, as he wasn't happy with the Australian's comments. It didn't take too long before Kyrgios responded, and since then, the two have exchanged quite a few messages on social media.
But now, another former world no. 1 joined the conversation. Two-time Grand Slam champion and Olympics gold medalist, Yevgeny Kafelnikov used a similar argument to Becker,...

Matteo Berrettini is close to appointing a new coach for the upcoming season and Italian media are reporting a familiar name will be taking over the reins from Vincenzo Santopadre.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the deal to hire Thomas Enqvist is as good as done. Only the official announcement is missing and could be coming very soon. Berrettini recently parted ways with his longtime coach Vincenzo Santopadre after 13 years together.
Berrettini penned an emotional message to his fans announcing Santopadre's departure after a forgettable year hampered by injuries. Under his countryman's tutelage, the 27-year-old reached a career-high ranking of World No. 6 and reached a Wimbledon final.
Replacing Santopadre, who has nurtured Berrettini through his teenage years, was going to require a sturdy and intelligent tennis mind. And that's why Berrettini has gone for the service of Enqvist, a former pro from Sweden who was ranked as high as No.

Recently, we expounded on how Alcaraz's constant pursuit for greatness and increased player prize money in tennis tournaments year-on-year puts the 20-year-old on the flight path to become the highest prize money in tennis history .
