Casper Ruud, third seed
Grigor Dimitrov and fourth seed
Holger Rune.
Defending champion Ugo champion is scheduled to compete at the event, and the fifth seeded Frenchman will face compatriot Hugo Gaston in what should be a hotly-contested affair. Spaniard Pedro Martinez is the sixth seed, and he will be taking on a qualifier.
Big-hitting German Jan-Lennard Struff will face Kazakh Alexander Shevchenko, while rising American star Alex Michelsen squares off against wildcard and local hopeful Harold Mayot. French veteran Richard Gasquet will undoubtedly have the crowd on his side when he takes on Brazilian Thiago Monteiro, and former World No.8 Cameron Norrie will battle Spain's Roberto Carballes Baena in another interesting opening round matchup.
A lot of this week also rides on the ATP Finals with Andrey Rublev, Grigor Dimitrov among others playing in order to try and force their way into contention for Turin. They have both received late wildcards to play in France and so will both hope for a title run that will gleam them the extra spots.
