What is happening at the ATP 500 Rio Open 2026? That is what organizers and fans must be wondering, as they see names dropping from the main draw for various reasons. Many are already joking that the carnival is wreaking havoc, with so many absences in the last hours that four lucky losers are entering the main draw, meaning the four losers of the last round of the qualifying phase. If there is one more withdrawal, one of those who fell in the first round of the qualifying would be called up.
