The Open 13 is one of five French tournaments on the ATP World Tour calendar. The tournament, to be played 20-26 February 2017, is held on the Mediterranean coast in the city of Marseille.
Former ATP World Tour player Jean-Francois Caujolle was a driving force in bringing a tour-level event to his hometown, and since the inaugural event in 1993, six Frenchmen have lifted the Marseille trophy, including Guy Forget in 1996; Fabrice Santoro, 1999; Arnaud Clement, 2006; Gilles Simon, 2007 and 2015; Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, 2009 and 2013; and Michael Llodra, 2011.
About Marseille
Marseille is a rich, pulsing port city bubbling over with history, cutting-edge creative spaces and hip multicultural urbanites. Since Greek settlers came ashore around 600 BC, waves of immigrants have made Marseille (now France's second-largest city) their home.
The city is looking fabulous after its tenure as the European Capital of Culture in 2013. Its maritime heritage thrives at the vibrant Vieux Port (Old Port), or you can explore the ancient Le Panier neighbourhood, set on a hill above the water; the Republique quarter, with its swanky boutiques and Haussmannian buildings; and the stunning contemporary architecture of the Joliette area around Marseille's famous striped Cathedrale de la Major. Along the coast, seaside roads and cycling tracks veer around sun-scorched coves and sandy beaches.
