Cobolli, Paul, and Fritz will maximize their chances to play in the ATP Finals in Lyon
A week of great tennis and unbridled emotions is expected with the contest of the ATP 250 Lyon 2026, an event that could be decisive in the fight for some of the tickets still available for the ATP Finals 2026. With names like Jódar and Djokovic involved in the battle, Flavio Cobolli can secure his spot and emerges as the favorite for the title, while Tommy Paul and Taylor Fritz will try to maximize their options.
With a draw of 28 players, the top four seeds will be exempt from competing in the first round. Joining those already mentioned is Valentin Vacherot, who will try to find his best form again. He could be Cobolli's potential semifinal opponent, who will debut against the winner of an attractive first-round clash between Martín Landaluce and Stan Wawrinka.

Others such as Brandon Nakashima, Lorenzo Musetti, Matteo Berrettini, or the very young French player, Moise Kouamé, are also in that upper part of the draw. In the lower half, both Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul dream of meeting in the semifinals and staying in the running for a spot in the ATP Finals, something both need to achieve by winning the title. Their major rivals on that path will be Ugo Humbert and Arthur Fery.
In short, a week filled with interesting matches is approaching, where many players will keep an eye on the favorites, aware that the battle for the ATP Finals 2026 might take place in the French city. Flavio Cobolli has everything in his favor, but he cannot afford to lose focus as many points are at stake in Basel, Vienna, and Paris.
