If something can go wrong, it will go wrong this week at the ATP 500 Rio Open 2026. After having to postpone the semifinals to Sunday, starting the day early in the morning to try to finish the event on the same Sunday, the semifinal between Tomás Martín Etcheverry and Vit Kopriva had to be interrupted with one set each due to extreme heat. Alejandro Tabilo managed to defeat Buse 6-3 6-3, so the winner of the match between the Argentine and the Czech could be at a clear disadvantage if the final is played this Sunday.

Starting this year, a heat rule similar to Australia has been implemented in Rio de Janeiro 🇧🇷 that combines various factors into an index.

Due to this, matches are not played before 4:30 PM on a regular day.
To resume, the index must stabilize for 20 uninterrupted minutes. https://t.co/X1KzSqnFi9
