Rio Open: Full list of title winners

Carlos Alcaraz is the youngest Rio Open Champion.

Every February, a fight for clay-court dominance takes place on Rio de Janeiro’s red soil. The Rio Open, which Claro sponsors, is South America’s only ATP 500 event and Brazil’s only ATP Tour stop since 2020. Rio hosted notable competitions like the Rio de Janeiro International (1947-1967) and the Rio de Janeiro Open (1989-1990) before this tournament began.

The Rio Open started in 2014, with Rafael Nadal winning the first title. David Ferrer, Dominic Thiem, Diego Schwartzman, Cristian Garin, and Carlos Alcaraz followed as champions. Alcaraz became the youngest ATP 500 winner in 2022. The tournament used to feature a women’s draw but stopped after 2016, with the Hungarian Ladies Open taking its place.

Organisers were thinking of moving the tournament to the hard courts of the Olympic Tennis Center to attract top players such as Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer. Nevertheless, it has ruled out any option of changing the surface while maintaining the unique character of the tournament.

The tournament is held at the Jockey Club Brasileiro which has eight clay courts and a stadium that can seat 6,200 people. In short, this setup provides a vibrant backdrop in which new and experienced players compete against each other.
