ATP: Rune and Sinner lead the field in Montpellier
The Davis Cup week is hardly over when many professionals meet again on the ATP tour. In Montpellier, for example, Holger Rune and Borna Coric go into the Bütt.

Well, who else knows? Correct: Last year Alexander Bublik won the title in Montpellier. In the final against Alexander Zverev. The German has to lick his wounds after the defeat against Marc-Andrea Huesler and will only return to the tour in Rotterdam.
Defending champion Bublik, on the other hand, is very much at the start in Montpellier. And that despite the fact that he still fulfilled his Davis Cup obligations in Chile on Saturday. The Kazakh opened as number six against France's Gregoire Barrere.
Sinner fails again in Australia due to Tsitsipas
The tableau is led by Holger Rune, who almost single-handedly defeated the Indian selection in the last two days. Rune plays after a bye either against Marc-Andrea Huesler or the French Luca van Assche.
Jannik Sinner is the tallest from the bottom of the 28 grid. The South Tyrolean is waiting for Marton Fucsovics (also a Davis Cup champion) or a qualifier. Sinner had recently failed at the Australian Open for the second time in a row at Stefanos Tsitsipas.
