The 2025 Rio Open will be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, featuring several clay-court specialists competing in the biggest clay-court tournament of the Golden or Latin American Swing.
The ATP 500 event takes place from February 17-23, 2025, at the Jockey Club Brasileiro. As the most prestigious tournament of the South American Swing, it will feature a 32-player singles draw and a 16-team doubles draw. Several top stars will compete at the Rio Open, with defending champion Sebastián Báez aiming to retain his title in a highly competitive field.
Zverev looks to build confidence in South America
World No. 2 Alexander Zverev is the top seed at the event, making his debut in official tournaments in South America. The German hopes to put his Australian Open final loss behind him and gain confidence on the Brazilian clay courts. He will face some tricky rivals, such as Holger Rune and Lorenzo Musetti, while the South American contingent includes Argentinians Francisco Cerúndolo and Sebastián Báez, Chileans Alejandro Tabilo and Nicolás Jarry, and rising local star João Fonseca, who will once again play in front of his home crowd.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
