It brings together the 500 best players on the planet: come and watch the Future All In Grasse tournament for free

Unusually busy for a Tuesday at the All In Grasse. The reason? The traditional Futures tournament, men's singles and doubles, is being held this week. The atmosphere is relaxed, some players are recuperating in the shade on the terrace, there's a lot of chatting, and above all, there's a lot of hitting on the courts! It's always impressive to hear the sound of balls smacking with the slightest hit of the racket. Normal for players ranked in the world's Top 500, with some even ranking in the Top 200 and 300!

“The setting is pretty and it’s free.”

This is the reason for the visit of Gaétan, a 32-year-old from Grasse, a regular at the venue and this event: "I play tennis myself, I like coming here. The level is very good and I've been watching quite a few matches for a long time. It's nice, free and the setting is beautiful. When I was younger, I used to play here. Today, I'm waiting until my wrist no longer hurts to start playing tennis again and find a club." Sitting on a bench facing the center court, Gaëtan enjoys the spectacle... before walking a few meters to reach court number 2 for another match. "Roland-Garros? If I'd had a vacation, I would have gone, but my favorite player is no longer here: Nadal! Today, I like Alcaraz. But I still watch the matches on TV after being here." A true enthusiast of the little yellow ball who doesn't hesitate to brave the sun and the heat but who intends to come back again this week.

As we stroll around the courts, we spot a couple in their fifties who are watching every minute of the match on court number 1. Laurent and Valérie, from Mouans-Sartoux, are coming to the Future for the first time and are enjoying it: "We don't know the players but it's still interesting. We're enjoying the sun, it's better than sitting in front of the TV! But we'll watch Loïs Boisson tomorrow (today), she made us dream against Pegula. We can see her doing something against Andreeva. In the meantime, we're impressed by the ball-striking and speed of the players here in Grasse."

The tournament continues through Saturday, with the singles final scheduled for 11 a.m. The doubles final will take place on Friday afternoon. Enjoy a high-level, free competition featuring, perhaps, future Top 100 players! It continues this Wednesday at La Paoute.
