376 racquets were strung by Babolat's official stringers from February 5 to 11, during the 2024 edition of the Open 13 tournament in Marseille, representing 4,512 meters of strings. 2024 marked Babolat's first collaboration with the Marseille Open 13 as official stringer and ball supplier. A total of 6,480 balls were supplied for the tournament, as well as official outfits for ball boys and girls and line judges, helping to affirm the brand's presence at every level of this French tournament.

This 2024 edition of the tournament closes perfectly and marks the start of an ambitious collaboration between Babolat and the Open 13. Already a partner of Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Thierry Ascione's All In Group through their various structures, including the All In Country Club in Décines, and the various tournaments they organize (ATP Challengers in St Tropez and Villeneuve-Loubet), Babolat is stepping up this partnership by joining forces with the Open 13 for 3 years.

Babolat has been stringing since the 1970s, when the company invented the electric stringing machine - still produced today in its Besançon factory. But the brand's ongoing commitment to top-level tennis and its constant desire to inspire all racquet sports enthusiasts dates back to 1875, when it invented the string, at the same time as the birth of tennis. For almost 150 years, Babolat has left an indelible mark on the sport, relying on a strategy that remains a constant: innovation.
