ATP Open Occitanie Prize Money Explained: How much can Auger-Aliassime, Fils and Hurkacz earn
ATPMonday, 02 February 2026 at 02:30
The Open Occitanie Montpellier is played during the week of February 2 to 7, marking the return of players to Europe after the Australian swing. The ATP 250 tournament is contested on indoor hard courts and has Félix Auger-Aliassime as the defending champion, the top seed and main favourite on this occasion.
Back in 2025, the Canadian secured his second title of the season thanks to a strong performance in Montpellier, a victory that gave him momentum for a strong start to the year. He defeated Alexander Kovacevic in the final, another player who will be present again at this year’s tournament.
Several players were quick to take advantage of the week immediately following the Australian Open to return to competition ahead of the next challenges on the calendar. The draw is loaded with European players, featuring several interesting names such as Flavio Cobolli (No. 22), Tomáš Macháč (No. 24) and Talon Griekspoor (No. 26) among the favourites.
It will also mark the return to the courts of 21-year-old Arthur Fils (No. 42), who is coming off a long period away from competition. The Frenchman suffered an injury during the 2025 Roland Garros at the end of May, and since then he only returned for a single tournament two months later at the Canadian Open, where he was eliminated in the second round. Since then, Fils has postponed his comeback several times, even missing the Australian Open, and will now look, as a home player, to regain confidence, recover ranking positions and quickly find his competitive rhythm again.
Another player looking to rebuild confidence after injury issues is Hubert Hurkacz, who was eliminated early at the Australian Open. The Pole left good impressions at the United Cup, but was unable to sustain his level in Melbourne over five sets. Still in the process of regaining confidence and match rhythm, Hurkacz is one of the players most favoured by indoor conditions and will be one of the strong names in the tournament.
Other players in the tournament include local favourites Ugo Humbert, Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard and Adrian Mannarino, as well as Spanish former top-10 players Roberto Bautista Agut and Pablo Carreño Busta, and three-time Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka, who continues to add tournaments during what is expected to be his farewell season.

- MEDICAL TIME OUTS SHOULD TO BE ABOLISHED IN THE SPORT OF TENNIS. BECAUSE IT IS MAINLY BEING USED AS A FORM OF CHEATING. THERE ISN'T ANYTHING WRONG WITH A PLAYER WHEN AFTER A TIMEOUT, HE OR SHE IS STILL RUNNING ALL OVER THE COURT AND SERVING ACES. IF SOMEONE IS HURT, THAT MEANS THEY CANNOT CONTINUE. THEREFORE, THE MATCH SHOULD BE FORFEITED. TENNIS IS FULL OF POLITICAL CORRUPTION.
- Pegula will never beat any of the top players, in a Slam final, because the draw riggers have no confidence that she can even play tennis. Which is the reason why every tournament, her entire draw consist of opponents from the KIDDIE department. Just like Iga, Sabalenka, and some of the other tops on tour, they consistenly get hard draws, which helps them get better. When someone has to cheat to help you, it only weakens you as a players. Because you do not know what part of your game needs improvement.
- Those Doping Agents are controlled by the American Government. It an American players test is hot, they are going to sweep it under the carpet.
- Djokovic is the GOAT. He has the most Slams. Simple as that.
- "It’s difficult to say we don’t agree” Correction: It’s difficult to say [ I ] don’t agree. While she is an intelligent and well educated person, she may not be all that aware of certain character flaws. Perhaps a psychologist or ten might be of some help?
- Sabalenka should ignore that nonsense and continue doing what she does. The sport of tennis has been corrupted by the American government. And America is the most racist country on earth. It is clear that some players are being targeted for discrimination based on their nationality. Screaming hasn't just start in tennis. Sharapova, Serena, etc. always did scream and nothing was said. You cannot control ignorance.
- If she wants privacy, then she should quit tennis. The same thing happened to Sabalenka at the US Open after she loss the final, and no one was talking about privacy. Instead they criticized Sabalenka. Anyone who knows Gauff is well aware that she is a sore loser and cannot control her anger after a loss. You cannot tell someone where to place their cameras. She needs to separate herself from her parents and GROW UP. She is 21 years old.
- Coco is a sore loser. She does that all the time. At least now, she goes behind closed doors, instead of interrupting the matches with her meltdown. The same thing happened to Sabalenka at the US Open. The only difference is, Sabalenka knows how to handle things like an adult. Gauff on the other hand needs to GROW UP. She is 21 and she needs to act like it. There is no way you can play a sport and cannot stand to lose.
- No one is interested in seeing her. She is not going to do anything but cheat a younger player out of a wildcard and lose in the first round. If their lives is that miserable and they want to return, let them go thru qualifications like everyone else.
