Who is Playing at the 2023 ATP Montpellier Open?
The 2023 ATP Montpellier Open will feature 28 players in the singles draw. Denmark Next Gen star Holger Rune is the only top-10 player in the draw.
Rune will be joined by fellow rising star Jannik Sinner who is still chasing his first win in Montpellier after two previous first-round exits.
Eight of the 12 editions of the Montpellier Open have been won by French players. Richard Gasquet is the joint-most successful player at the event having won it three times.
At 36, Gasquet is still going strong having recently started 2023 with a title win in Auckland. He returns to Montpellier for the 11th time.
Alexander Bublik, who shockingly won his maiden ATP title last year in this tournament, is also returning. But Alexander Zverev who Bublik defeated in last year’s final will not be coming back to Montpellier in 2023. The German will instead play in Rotterdam next week.
Four players will be drawn from qualifying on Monday, while three wild cards are yet to be named.

Our 2023 ATP Montpellier Open Predictions & Picks
Playing on home soil can have a major advantage and the Montpellier Open reinforces this point. The French players have had the most success in this event.
But in the past two years that hegemony has been broken. Last year Bublik won the tournament against the odds, beating Zverev in the final.
While we do not envisage a shock winner of such magnitude this time around, there are still some interesting names who could buck that trend.
Quentin Halys has never won an ATP title or even reached an ATP final before. But he has started the year playing top-tier tennis. Even Novak Djokovic applauded Halys’ efforts in their match in Adelaide last month. He’s definitely a name that could surprise in Montpellier.
Aside from Halys, Lorenzo Sonego is another player who tends to hit a purple patch on indoor hard courts. The Italian won in Metz last year, beating a long list of high-caliber opponents. These two are worth backing as outsiders to win in Montpellier.
The usual suspects here will be Holger Rune, Jannik Sinner, and Borna Coric who make up the top-3 seeds. Rune won the biggest title of his career in Bercy at the end of last season, beating five top-10 players en route. He is the clear favorite to walk away with the ultimate prize at the Montpellier Open.
