The Rio Open in 2022 should be a brilliant tennis event with many great tennis players starting their clay season early.

Dominic Thiem was the first notable name to commit to playing at the event and it's not a surprise. Thiem favors clay over any other surface and the Austrian will be hungry for some points after missing a large chunk of last season due to injury. Another big name recently confirmed he will be joining him and Matteo Berrettini.

Berrettini never appeared at the event before be he will face stiff competition. Several other notable players have also committed to playing at the event and they are clay-court specialist Casper Ruud and Spaniards Pablo Carreno Busta and Carlos Alcaraz. Another name that could garner a lot of attention at the event is Juan Martin Del Potro who is set to be awarded a wild card entry.
