Montpellier ATP250, 22-28 Feb 2021. Indoor Hard court.
28 player draw, Top 4 seeds have a Bye in Round 1.
**Andy has accepted a Wild Card.**
17.30, via Open de Sud tournament website
So, if Covid allows (travel/quarantine?) Andy hopes to play here and follow on from 2 Challenger events in Italy which would, in player ranking terms, be a decent progression, as explained below.
Biella-1 (an 80k event) had Andy as #1 seed (ranked #125) but the next highest player and 2nd seed was Gaio at #157. Biella-2 (a 125k event) attracted players ranked #54 (top seed) to #250.
Montpellier will have a stronger field with 3 players in the top 20. So it will give Andy a sterner test of his mental and physical strength on his route back to the main tour following surgery and rehab.
