TV GUIDE: How to watch Geneva Open and Lyon Open featuring Djokovic, Ruud, Fritz, Murray and Humbert

The ATP clay swing enters its final week of competition before the French Open with the ATP 250 Lyon Open and Geneva Open. Players like Casper Ruud, Taylor Fritz, and Ben Shelton will take advantage of the week after the Rome Open to arrive in competitive form for the second Grand Slam of the year.

Nicolas Jarry was set to defend his Geneva crown, but decided to withdraw after reaching the final in Rome. But Novak Djokovic due to no semblance of form will make a rare outing in an ATP 250 tournament alongside Casper Ruud and the top American players of the moment Fritz, Shelton, and Paul, all closely ranked and vying for the American No. 1 spot.

The appearance of Andy Murray is also surprising, courtesy of a wildcard. The 3-times Grand Slam champion will play the Challenger Bourdeaux Open the week before and then Geneva for his first ATP-level tournament, seeking to find form before Roland Garros, where he already has a secured spot.

The ATP 250 Lyon Open will have its 7th edition without any former champions in the draw. The 2023 title winner Arthur Fils opted to rest the week before the French Open, making his compatriot Ugo Humbert the top candidate for the title, the only top-15 player in the draw.

Nevertheless, a competitive field emerges with stars like Aleksander Bublik, Felix Auger-Aliassime, and Frances Tiafoe in the draw. The seeded players also include South Americans Francisco Cerundolo (runner-up in 2023), Tomas Etcheverry, Mariano Navone, and Alejandro Tabilo.
