The 2022
Argentina Open is an ATP 250 event running from February 7th till February 13th with Ruud, Schwartzman and Del Potro attending.
The event is a longstanding event that has been played for years on clay. It's part of the golden slam and usually attracts very strong players that prefer the red dirt to any other surface. This year is no different with the top seed being
Casper Ruud, a player known as one of the best performers on the surface. Ruud is a former champion having won the event in 2020.
Besides Ruud, we will see Schwartzman, another player who has played rather well on clay. The Argentinian completed his longtime dream of becoming a champion at home last year and he will try to defend his title this week. Both of them have a 1st round BYE which should make things easier for them.
Another player who is set to make his return to tennis is
Juan Martin Del Potro who will also play this event. It's a bittersweet return for him as it will be the final time he will play tennis in his native country. He announced the decision to retire after playing Buenos Aires this week and Rio De Janeiro next week. He will play compatriot Federico Delbonis who is a tough out on clay.
Another interesting matchup will be a 1st round battle of wild cards between Baez and Rune. Both of them played at the next-gen event in Milano and both are young players with a very bright future. Check out the full draw below.
