After returning from a two-month injury layoff earlier this month, Arthur Rinderknech has had trouble performing at his peak. His difficulties were on display in his most recent matches, where he lost to Casper Ruud in the second round of the Rome Masters and to Arthur Cazaux in the first round of the Bordeaux Challenger. The 89th-ranked player in the world will be eager to find form and gather momentum in Lyon as he gets ready for his home slam in Paris. The 27-year-old experienced a breakthrough year in 2021, recording an impressive seven main tour quarterfinal finishes or better. One of those notable runs, which highlights his familiarity and success in the competition, happened in Lyon.
A stop-start season in 2023 has plagued Lloyd Harris, much like his opponent Arthur Rinderknech, primarily because of fitness issues. In the previous five months, he has only taken part in one main-draw event on the main tour, retiring once at Tenerife Challenger. The South African had a forgettable experience during his prior ATP Lyon campaign in 2019. In that competition, he suffered back-to-back losses, falling to Steve Johnson as a lucky loser in the opening round after losing to Maxime Janvier in the final qualifying round.
