How can you watch ATP Montpellier?

The indoor hard court tournament in Montpellier returns as the only main tour ATP tournament this week.

Last year’s champion was Jannik Sinner, who has just gone onto claim his maiden Grand Slam title at the Australian Open.

Holger Rune is the top seed in 2024, as the Dane looks to improve on his semi-final performance from last year after receiving a wildcard.

Felix Auger-Aliassime, Borna Coric and Andy Murray are some of the other higher seeded players, with the latter in particular hoping to put his Australian Open disappointment behind him.

There are multiple former champions in the draw, with record four-time winner Richard Gasquet looking to make it five in front of his home crowd.

Other previous winners are three-time champion Gael Monfils, second seed Alexander Bublik and wildcard Lucas Pouille.
