The 30th edition of the 2022 Marseille Open, also known as Open 13 Provence, is set to take place from February 14 to 20.
The main draw action will begin on Monday while the qualification rounds are already underway. World No. 2 Daniil Medvedev was the defending champion, but chose not to participate in the tournament this year.
World No. 4 and two-time champion Stefanos Tsitsipas is the top seed. The Greek was gunning for his third consecutive title here last year after winning it in 2019 and 2020, but his title defense came to an end in the quarterfinals. He reached the final of the Rotterdam Open over the weekend, where he lost to Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Andrey Rublev is seeded second and enters the tournament on the heels of a semifinal showing at the Rotterdam Open. He was the defending champion there, but also lost to Auger-Aliassime, who is the third seed at the Marseille Open.
Auger-Aliassime has been playing incredibly well this year. He led Canada to their maiden ATP Cup title, reached the Australian Open quarterfinals and won his first career title in Rotterdam as well.
Aslan Karatsev, who is seeded fourth here, made a strong start to the season by winning the Sydney Tennis Classic, but it all went downhill from there. The Russian made a third-round exit from the Australian Open, followed by back-to-back opening round losses at the Maharashtra Open and the Rotterdam Open.
Karatsev will be aiming to get his season back on track at the Marseille Open.
The draw also features Ilya Ivashka, Tallon Griekspoor, Alexei Popyrin, Gianluca Mager, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Lucas Pouille.
