Rio Open History and Previous Winners

History

The Rio Open is a recent addition to the ATP Tour with their inaugural edition held in 2014. It started off as an ATP and WTA event but the woman’s event was discontinued in 2016. Like many other tournaments impacted by Covid 19, the Rio Open was canceled in 2021. There were plans to switch to a hardcourt following the 2019 edition but the clay court was kept instead. The last time an ATP event was held in Rio before the Rio Open was the Rio de Janiero Open back in 1889. The event only had 3 editions before cancellation.

Rio Open Winners

The Rio Open has had 7 editions so far with some notable tennis players. The best of these has to be Rafael Nadal, one of the Big Three who headlined the inaugural edition alongside David Ferrer. More recently, Carlos Alcaraz has become synonymous with the Rio Open after his victory last year. The world no. 1 became the youngest ATP 500 winner since the category had been established, making tennis history. With his return confirmed, this Rio Open is sure to be a spectacle.
