Carlos Alcaraz is a formidable player for his rivals in all circumstances, but even more so in important tournament finals. The Spaniard already has 26 titles in his record and has only lost 8 finals, including ATP tournaments and the Olympics. This results in an efficiency percentage of 76.5%, higher than that of Sinner and the Big 3.

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.

Tara Moore was sanctioned for doping years ago after testing positive for nandrolone, claiming it was contaminated meat she had consumed. The process to clarify responsibility lasted a long time, leading to a new sanction by the ITIA, resulting in the British player being unable to compete for 19 months from July 2025. Now, Moore has filed a lawsuit against the WTA alleging that the organization did not warn players about the risks of eating meat in Bogotá, where the positive test occurred. She is claiming damages of 2 million dollars for the harm suffered.
