PLAYERS TO WATCH

1. Ekaterina ALEXANDROVA (#33)

Alexandrova will be the highest ranked player at the Lyon Open 2021 and although the field isn't as strong as the 2020 event, she will be looking to justify her top seeding with some key wins. She has started 2021 with an impressive 7/3 win loss record which includes wins over Grand Slam champions Swiatek and Halep.

2. Caroline GARCIA (#46)

Garcia has struggled to replicate her US Open 2020 form which helped her topple the number one seed Karolina Pliskova. She has started 2021 with a 3/3 win loss record and will be looking to improve that in front of her home crowd this week by adding an eighth WTA trophy to her cabinet.

3. Eugenie BOUCHARD (#141)

Bouchard missed out on the Australian Open 2021 after going down in the second round of qualifying. She will be looking to get her 2021 season back on track with a strong performance in Lyon which will help her push towards getting back into the Top 100 where she has been absent from for the past few years.
