Diego Sebastian Schwartzman, Benoit Paire, Miomir Kecmanovic and Guido Pella are the top names that will lead the entry list in Cordoba. The tournament will be staged on the 22nd of February. The “big” surprise is Benoit Paire’s presence that decided not to play the home tournament in Montpelier (entry list) that will be played on the same day.
The defending champion is Christian Garin that last year defeated Diego Schwartzman in 3 sets in the final (highlights). Christian is not part of the entry list this year.
