Tournament History
The Cassis Open Provence was established in 2018, taking over the ATP Challenger slot previously held by the Trophée des Alpilles in nearby Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. Since its inception, the tournament has quickly gained recognition for its scenic location and strong player fields, often attracting both young, rising talents and seasoned veterans of the ATP Tour. The inaugural final in 2018 was an all-French affair, with a then-unheralded Enzo Couacaud defeating his compatriot Ugo Humbert. A notable moment in the tournament’s history came in 2019 when former world No. 5 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga won the title with a dominant performance, securing the quickest Challenger final victory at the time.
The tournament has also been a springboard for players’ careers. In 2022, Hugo Grenier’s victory in Cassis propelled him into the top 100 of the ATP rankings for the first time. The event has consistently attracted high-profile French players, with Benjamin Bonzi and Richard Gasquet among the recent champions. Gasquet’s win in 2024 at the age of 38 made him one of the oldest players to ever win an ATP Challenger title, adding to the tournament’s legacy. The Cassis Open Provence has been held annually since its creation, with the exception of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Venue
The Cassis Open Provence is held at the Sporting Club des Gorguettes, a tennis and padel complex located in the heart of the Gorguettes sports park in Cassis, France. The club has been a fixture in the local sports community since the tennis section was officially founded in 1981. The facility offers a picturesque setting with nine tennis courts, which have been renovated to include six resin courts and three synthetic turf courts, all meeting ATP standards. The venue’s modern infrastructure and scenic surroundings provide an ideal environment for professional tennis competition.
In addition to its main tennis courts, the Sporting Club des Gorguettes has expanded to meet the growing popularity of padel, adding a third padel court in late 2023. The club’s facilities also include a recently refreshed clubhouse and a reserved parking area, ensuring a comfortable experience for both players and spectators. The Sporting Club des Gorguettes has been the host venue for the Cassis Open Provence since its first edition in 2018, and its collaboration with the tournament has helped raise the club’s profile, making it a key destination for tennis enthusiasts in the region. The tournament’s free admission policy, from the qualifying rounds to the final, further contributes to the venue’s appeal, welcoming local fans to enjoy top-level tennis in a friendly and accessible atmosphere.
Past Champions
The Cassis Open Provence has a history of attracting both rising stars and established veterans. The 2024 singles champion was veteran French player Richard Gasquet, who defeated Jurij Rodionov in the final. Gasquet’s victory at the age of 38 made him the third-oldest Challenger champion in history. In the 2024 doubles final, the Portuguese duo of Jaime Faria and Henrique Rocha emerged victorious against the French team of Manuel Guinard and Matteo Martineau.
