Arriving at the Rio Open 2026, Fran Cerúndolo carried the favorite tag after his recent victory in Buenos Aires. However, he also arrived more fatigued than the rest, hence needing some assistance from the organization. Unfortunately, the Argentine did not receive it, forced to play his first two matches in consecutive days. The accumulation of minutes led to him retiring injured in the middle of his match against Thiago Tirante last night, but he did not hold back.

"I didn't expect to play yesterday and today, two matches in a row. I requested not to be scheduled that way, but we already know who benefits in this tournament. I had a discomfort in the right side of my waist, and it has been increasingly difficult for me to play," Fran commented after being eliminated.
