Codeage at the
Grand Prix Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.

From October 19 to 25, 2026, Codeage is proud to partner with the Grand Prix Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, the ATP 250 tournament played at the LDLC Arena in Lyon, and the first edition of a week that marks the return of the men's tour to the region.

A partnership in Lyon.

Codeage is proud to partner with the Grand Prix Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (opens in a new tab), the ATP 250 tournament held at the LDLC Arena in Décines-Charpieu, on the eastern edge of Lyon, from October 19 to 25, 2026. It is the first edition under the new name, the eighth edition of the Lyon event in its history, and the first played indoors on hard courts.

It is a partnership we entered gladly. Codeage has long been drawn to the world of sport, and to tennis in particular, for what the game asks of the people who play it. Not for a season, but across a career. The qualities a long tennis life calls for are, in many ways, the qualities at the center of how Codeage thinks about the body over time.

This partnership is an association with a tournament and with the values the game embodies. It makes no health or performance claim of any kind, for any player, and none is intended.

Sport and longevity have
always asked the same question.

How does one stay at one's best, not for a moment, but across the long arc of a life? It is the question behind every great career, and the question at the center of how Codeage thinks about the years.

What the game asks

What tennis and longevity share.

The qualities a long tennis career calls for are the same ones at the center of Codeage. A quiet set of disciplines, practiced across time.

I

Precision

The exact line

Indoors, there is no wind to blame and no sun to read. The ball does what it is told. It is a sport of precision, the same exactness Codeage brings to how a formula is considered, named, and composed.

II

Patience

The long point

The attention a long rally asks for, present, unhurried, complete, mirrors the attention that the long view asks of a life.

III

The long career

Built to last

Tennis rewards those who last. Careers measured in decades, form held across them. The same idea, carried beyond the court.

IV

Discipline

The daily return

The quiet discipline of returning to the court each day, the unglamorous repetition behind every great career, is the discipline of the everyday Codeage believes in most.

II

Why Codeage believes in sport.

There is a reason the world of sport, and tennis especially, sits close to what Codeage is about. An athletic career is one of the clearest illustrations there is of the long view. A body cared for and trained not for a single season but across many, with an eye always on the years still to come.

Tennis makes that idea visible. It is a game of precision and patience, of focus held over hours and form held over decades. The players who endure are rarely the ones who burn brightest for a moment. They are the ones who return, day after day, to the same quiet disciplines. That is a philosophy Codeage recognizes, the belief that the long view is built not from grand gestures but from the steady accumulation of how the days are spent. It is the thinking that runs through everything filed under movement and longevity.

Codeage promises nothing about how anyone plays, and this partnership makes no such claim. What it offers is an admiration for the discipline, the precision, and the long horizon that the best of sport embodies, and that the study of healthy aging returns to again and again.

Precision

A career is a long game.
So is a life.

The discipline that keeps a player at their best across a career is, in spirit, the discipline of the long view. Practiced daily, held over years.

The Grand Prix Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.

The tournament is an ATP 250 event played on indoor hard courts at the LDLC Arena in Décines-Charpieu, the hall on the eastern edge of Lyon that opened its doors to the men's tour for the first time this year. The 2026 edition, from October 19 to 25, is the first under the Grand Prix Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes name and the eighth edition of the Lyon event, which was played on outdoor clay from 2017 to 2024 and was absent from the calendar in 2025. The week carries the licence formerly held by the tournament in Marseille. The singles draw holds 28 players and the doubles draw 16 teams, with 250 ranking points and 115,195 euros to the singles champion from a total purse of 757,320 euros.

The tournament is directed by Thierry Ascione, who led the Lyon event through its clay-court years and returned for its first indoor edition, alongside Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, the Frenchman who won the first Lyon title in 2017. The Région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes is the title partner. Its place in the calendar, late October, indoors, in the closing weeks of the season, gives the week its particular character: a field arriving at the end of a long year, playing in conditions that leave very little to chance.

A week that belonged to the long careers.

On Saturday evening, before the semi-finals were played, four men walked back onto a court in Lyon together. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Gaël Monfils, Richard Gasquet and Gilles Simon, a generation of French tennis whose careers were measured not in seasons but in decades, played an exhibition in front of a full arena. It is difficult to imagine a more fitting opening note for a week like this one.

The draw itself told a version of the same story. Stan Wawrinka was in the field at 41. Lorenzo Musetti arrived at 24 having spent most of the season managing leg, thigh and finger injuries, ranked outside the top twenty-five after beginning the year inside the top five, and carrying seven consecutive losses in tour finals and four years without a title.

He beat Luca Van Assche over three sets in the quarter-finals. He lost the first set of his semi-final to top seed Flavio Cobolli, saved four match points, and won. Across the draw, second seed Taylor Fritz reached Sunday without losing a set or a service game all week. Two very different routes to the same final, and both of them long ones.

The best careers are not the brightest.
They are the ones that last.

Congratulations, Lorenzo Musetti.

def. Taylor Fritz, 6-3, 6-4.

On Sunday, October 25, Lorenzo Musetti of Italy won the first Grand Prix Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, breaking the Fritz serve in the American's opening service game and closing the match in a little under an hour and a half. It is the third ATP Tour title of his career and his first since 2022.

The story behind it is a long one. Four years without a trophy, seven finals lost in a row, a season interrupted again and again by injury. What did not change was the work. A week like this one is rarely built in a week. It is built in the seasons of quiet effort that come before anyone is watching.

Congratulations to Lorenzo Musetti, to Taylor Fritz on a faultless week, to Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool on the doubles title, to Théo Arribagé and Albano Olivetti for a fine run to the final, and to every player who made the first edition what it was. From everyone at Codeage.

V

Codeage, and the long game.

Codeage is proud to be part of the world of sport, and proud to partner with the Grand Prix Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. The game and the philosophy meet at a single point: the conviction that what matters most is not the brilliance of a moment but the quality of a long arc. A career, a body, a life, held with precision and care across the years.

That is the idea at the heart of the Longevity Code, and it is the idea we recognized in this tournament from the start. A first edition is a beginning, and beginnings held with care are what long things are made of.

To the players, and to the long game, on the court and beyond it. From everyone at Codeage, our congratulations to Lyon on a brilliant first week.
