FREE MIDI INFO. The Open Sud de France has chosen to invite the Frenchman Lucas Pouille, former winner of the Montpellier tournament and current 287th in the ATP world.

For their last opportunity of this 2024 edition, the Open Sud de France in Montpellier has chosen to favor loyalty.

Titled at the Sud de France Arena in 2018 after beating Richard Gasquet in the final, Frenchman Lucas Pouille (29 years old) was invited by the organizers to compete in the main draw, according to our information.

Cazaux and Rune also in the game

A very nice gesture on the part of the Open, since the former ATP world No.10 is currently ranked 287th in the world, after several seasons disrupted by injuries. Last year, Pouille made the Olympic Games his goal to relaunch his career. 

The Northerner thus joins the Montpellier Arthur Cazaux (future 83rd in the world) and the Dane Holger Rune (8th in the world), both invited by the tournament to participate in the final draw, as revealed by Midi Free a few days ago.
