Why the Lyon Open matters in 2026
The Lyon Open runs in Lyon, France from 19–25 Oct, played on medium-paced hard court. Bounces and pace sit between clay and grass, which rewards all-court players who can defend, attack and serve in roughly equal measure. It is an ATP 250 event. The singles champion takes ranking points and prize money, and a useful chunk of the season prize pool.
Play starts in 169 days, on Monday 19 October, with the main draw running through to Sunday 25 October.
