The draw has been released for the Lyon Open 2020 which will take place starting on Monday 2 March on the hard courts in France.

Other well-known names in the draw include Kristina Mladenovic who will be involved on home soil; in an all-French tie with Chloe Paquet.
Caroline Garcia will also be one of the multiple seeds from France as she faces Belgian, Greet Minnen in her first round. Daria Kasatkina, Alison van Uytvanck and Alize Cornet are also all in the draw; which like alluded to begins on Monday.

- 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".
