Draw released for Rio Open 2020: Thiem and Lajovic set to be involved
ATPSunday, 16 February 2020 at 11:54
One of the next ATP 500 tournaments begins tomorrow in the form of the Rio Open which takes place on the Red Clay courts of Brazil.
Despite being ATP 500, the field isn't too stacked with many tournaments going on at the same time such as Delray Beach and Marseille. These see many of the top 10 involved.
The star name involved though is Dominic Thiem who will return to action after his Australian Open brilliance. He decided against playing at the Argentina Open so will likely return in this event.
He will have Felipe Meligeni Alves, one of the home Wildcards to contend with which will likely mean the crowd will be on his back.
Other top names include Dusan Lajovic who will take on Marco Cecchinato in his first tie. As well as Borna Coric who will face the in-form Juan Ignacio Londero who reached the latter stages in Buenos Aires.
Speaking of latter stages in Buenos Aires, Casper Ruud who will take part in the final at the Argentina Open is also slated to play in this when he takes on a Qualifier.

- On the subject of potential Losers in Tennis... Why is the tennis media avoiding the news that Giorgi and Family robbed their landlord in Florence? Apparently they did some Midnight Marketing and stole antique and collectible items belonging to the landlord's family (including large furniture and miscellaneous Family History items). The old guy and his mother just want their 'history' back, even though they are losing thousands of Euro's in 6 months of unpaid rent. This man makes it clear the father is the main player behind this sudden disappearance (and the tax dodging in Italy).
mandoist20-05-2024 - Seems like Emma is taking the Giorgi and Bouchard route -- using occasional Tennis as a media hit for their alternate ambitions (zooming sponsors, photo shoots, magazine covers, TV commercials, anti-Social Media postings, hiring photog's to make "informal" shots of her on vacation, etc., etc.) Hey, WTA! Hey, Sponsors! You're being played to the tune of millions of misspent Euros and Pounds!!mandoist20-05-2024
