Rio Open is the biggest tennis tournament in the whole of South America. The inaugural edition of the Rio Open was held in 2014, the same year when Rio de Janeiro hosted the FIFA World Cup.

Rio Open tennis tournament is a tennis tournament that hosts men's singles and doubles matches. Earlier, the event hosted WTA international tournament for Women.


Status:

On the ATP World Tour, Rio Open is conducted as an ATP 500 Series featuring singles and doubles matches. It is the only ATP 500 World Series event held in South America. Since 2020, it has been the only ATP Tour event in Brazil


History:

In the past, Rio de Janeiro hosted the Rio de Janeiro Open with indoor carpet courts in 1989 and 1990. This was the first occasion of an ATP World Series being played in Brazil.

In 2014, the inaugural edition of the Rio Open was hosted with matches for both Men and Women. Hungarian Ladies Open replaced the WTA event after 2016.


Courts and Location:

Jockey Club Brasileiro hosts the tournament in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Since its inception, it has been played on clay courts. The inaugural edition attracted two masters of clay courts, Rafael Nadal, and David Ferrer. Nadal won the first edition, while Ferrer won the tournament's second edition.

There have been plans to shift the event to hard outdoor courts in the Olympic Tennis Centre. The move aims to attract more world-class players like Djokovic and Murray, who have declined to play in the event because of clay courts. Let's see if that shift occurs anytime soon.
