2021 Lyon Open Entry list with Schwartzman, Berrettini, Goffin

Thursday, 13 May 2021 at 07:17

The 2021 edition of the Lyon Open takes place between May 17-23, offering one of the last chances for some notable players to shape their form ahead of Roland Garros.

Lyon, the third-largest city in France, had staged an ATP tournament on the indoor court between 1987-2009, with McEnroe, Sampras, Kafelnikov, Ljubicic, Roddick and Soderling on the list of champions.

That event switched to Montpellier in 2011, and Lyon returned to the circuit in 2017 with the Open Parc Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Lyon on clay courts, placed in the week before Roland Garros. After three editions just ahead of the season's second Major, Lyon Open will take place earlier this year, with one extra week ahead of Roland Garros that has gathered a strong field.

Diego Schwartzman and Matteo Berrettini lead the field as the top-10 stars, ahead of David Goffin, Gael Monfils, Gael Monfils, Jannik Sinner and Felix Auger-Aliassime. Those players should be the favorites, ahead of Karen Khachanov, Daniel Evans, Aslan Karatsev and Taylor Fritz.
