Felix Auger-Aliassime and Gael Monfils will be playing at the Lyon Open thanks to receiving wild card entries into the main draw of the event joining the likes of Cam Norrie in the draw.
Monfils and Auger-Aliassime opted to play in the week before Roland Garros, mostly because neither has played that well on the surface so far. Getting one or two more matches it will be beneficial for them, especially if they can win those. Monfils has won only one match since returning to the Tour and even that one was thanks to a retirement.
Auger-Aliassime didn't impress anyone either with two losses in Madrid and Rome. The draw will feature a few solid players such as last year's champion Cameron Norrie but for the most part, it will be void of any big stars. Most of them will be in Paris early to prepare for the upcoming grand slam.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
