Of the 84 teams registered in the men's draw, 48 are involved in the qualifications and 100 include at least one tricolor player.

For his part, Benjamin Tison takes advantage of his status as number 1 tricolor to obtain a wild-card which offers him a 24-seed status in the main draw with his partner Victor Mena.
