The Open Sud de France is the first ATP tournament in France of the season.
It is played on indoor hard court with a prize money of 410,200 Euro. The top seeds are Berdych, Tipsarevic, Gasquet and Simon. There are 10 Frenchamen (3 wildecarded).
Berdych is the favorite, but he had a tough draw. In addition there is a very good line up for a 250 ATP tournament with 4 top 20 and lots of floaters (maybe the most dangerous is last year’s finalist Monfils).
