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

The Rio Open is a men's singles and doubles tournament. Earlier editions also featured a WTA International event for women.


Status:

On the ATP Tour, the Rio Open is held as an ATP 500 event featuring men's singles and doubles. It is the only ATP 500 tournament staged in South America and, since 2020, the only ATP Tour event held in Brazil.


History:

Rio de Janeiro previously hosted an ATP World Series event on indoor carpet courts in 1989 and 1990, marking the first ATP World Series tournament played in Brazil.

In 2014, the inaugural edition of the modern Rio Open was staged, featuring both men's and women's matches. The WTA tournament was discontinued after 2016 and replaced by the Hungarian Ladies Open.


Courts and Location:

The tournament is held at the Jockey Club Brasileiro in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Since its inception, it has been played on outdoor clay courts.

The inaugural edition attracted clay-court specialists Rafael Nadal and David Ferrer. Nadal won the first edition in 2014, while Ferrer captured the title in 2015.

There have been discussions about potentially shifting the event to hard outdoor courts at the Olympic Tennis Centre to attract a broader field of players, but the tournament continues to be played on clay.


Most Recent Champion (2026):

In 2026, Tomas Martin Etcheverry defeated Alejandro Tabilo 3-6, 7-6, 6-4 in the final to win the singles title. It marked his first ATP Tour title.
