After the conclusion of the Rotterdam Open 2020, things have shifted fast to the second ATP 500 tour on the tennis calendar with the Rio Open 2020 beginning from February 17 and concluding on February 23. The clay courts of the Jockey Club Brasileiro have been the attraction of some of the top players in the circuit and in its 7th edition, the Rio Open will have headlining acts by Dominic Thiem, Pablo Cuevas, Borna Coric, Guido Pella, Fernando Verdasco to name a few.

Typically the haunt of clay-prone players, top seed Dominic Thiem had tasted victory here in 2017 and is hungry for more this time. Ever since his classic performance at the Australian Open 2020 which culminated in the gripping final against eventual Champion, Novak Djokovic, Thiem has not played any tournament. The Rio Open 2020 will mark his return to the beloved clay courts.

To give the Austrian competition, a fair mix of some of the top players from South America and Spain are also there, among other nations. Guido Pella, Albert Ramos Vinolas, Juan Ignacio Londero, all seasoned clay players will be taking part in the US $1,759,905 event. As things begin from Monday in Rio de Janeiro, we can expect some gripping and tense action coming our way from the second ATP 500 tournament of the season.
