The Open Sud de France (formerly known as the Grand Prix de Tennis de Lyon) is a professional tennis tournament played on indoor hard courts. It is currently part of the ATP Tour 250 series of the ATP Tour. Founded in 1987, it was held annually in October at the Palais des Sports de Gerland in Lyon until 2009, before being relocated to Montpellier in 2010. The tournament takes place at the Montpellier Arena, holding 7,500 spectators.

The tournament is one of four French events of the ATP Tour 250 series, along with the Open 13, the Moselle Open, and the Lyon Open.[1][2] There was no event in 2011 as the tournament moved to a January slot in 2012.[3]

History

In 1905 the Lyon Covered Court Championships were founded. It was an indoor wood court tennis tournament played at the Tennis Club of Lyon.

In 1951 its name was changed to the Georges Cozon International Cup also known as the Lyon International Indoor. It was a combined tennis event until 1972 when the women's event ended. It continued to be staged annually in Lyon until 1986. In 1987 it was succeeded by the Lyon Tennis Grand Prix or Grand Prix de Tennis de Lyon.
