Stefanos Tsitispas is the defending champion in Marseille and is the favourite to win the title for the second year in a row. He wasn't seeded first for this tournament though, that was Daniil Medvedev who lost in the quarter finals. Tsitsipas has made it all the way to this final against Felix Auger-Aliassime without dropping a single set. He has had wins over Mkiael Ymer, recent finalist Vasek Pospisil and in the semi-final, Alexander Bulbik. Tsitsipas hasn't had the best of years so far but has made up for that this week.

His opponent is in his second successive final having lost to Gael Monfils last week in Rotterdam. That performance took him into the top 20 but again he's reached a final without having to beat a top player. The other seeds in his half of the draw have all been beaten by other players leaving the Canadian with an easier route to the final. He hasn't had it all his own way this week with a three-setter against Stefano Travaglia in the first round. That was followed by a three-set match against Pierre-Hugues Herbert going to 11-9 in the final set. His last two games though have both been won in straight sets against Egor Gerasimov and Gilles Simon. Now he has a much tougher task and it looks too much for him. Go for Tsitispas to successfully defend his title.
