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.

Ruud will be the only top-10 player at the Geneva Open. The Norwegian has a 13-4 record on clay in 2024 and claimed the title at the Barcelona Open few weeks ago.

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.
