The 2024 Open 13 Provence is one of five tournaments happening across the ATP and WTA tours in a busy week of tennis. It will take place from February 5-11.
Hubert Hurkacz returns to defend his title in Marseille and is the only top 10 player in the draw. Recently crowned Australian Open champion Jannik Sinner was the original headliner, but has since withdrawn from the tournament.
Three-time Major champion Andy Murray is also in the mix, and is a former champion here as well. He defeated Mario Ancic in the final to lift the trophy here back in 2008.
With a host of top 30 players in the draw, the tournament has assembled a solid field in Marseille. With that in mind, here are all the relevant details regarding the Open 13 Provence:

What is the Open 13 Provence?
The tournament made its debut on the ATP Tour over three decades ago, with the first edition being played in 1993. Marseille native and former tennis player Jean-François Caujolle was the man responsible for making it all happen back then. He's still very much involved in running things as the tournament director.
Currently an indoor hardcourt event with a 28-player draw in singles, the tournament frequently attracts plenty of top stars. Boris Becker, Roger Federer and Andy Murray are some of the big names who have lifted the trophy here in the past.
Venue
The Open 13 Provence will be held at the Palais des Sports de Marseille in Marseille, France.
Players
Defending champion and World No. 8 Hubert Hurkacz is the top seed here. He's having a great year so far, with a runner-up finish at the United Cup and a quarterfinal appearance at the Australian Open.
Grigor Dimitrov was expected to do well at the Australian Open, especially after his title-winning run in Brisbane at the start of the year. However, he was upset by Nuno Borges in the third round. Seeded second at the Open 13 Provence, he'll be keen to resume his winning ways here.
Karen Khachanov and Ugo Humbert round out the top four seeds. As previously mentioned, Andy Murray is competing here too and is on the hunt for his first win of the year. Felix Auger-Aliassime, Lorenzo Musetti and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina are some of the other well-known names in the fray.
