2024 Rio Open Top 3 Players

Carlos Alcaraz

The two-time grand slam winner and former world No. 1 hasn’t had the best start to the season. He missed last year’s Australian Open due to injury and was unable to redeem himself in this year’s event, losing to Alexander Zverev in four sets in the quarter-finals. Alcaraz, however, is into the Argentina Open semi-finals after winning his first two matches.

The talented 20-year-old Spaniard is already a 12-time winner on the ATP Tour and has won seven clay court tournaments, with an eighth potential win on the surface this past weekend in Argentina. He’s the overwhelming betting favorite in Rio and should have no trouble at least reaching the quarter-finals with a diminished field.

Cameron Norrie

Norrie upset Alcaraz in the final of last year’s Rio Open, beating him 5-7, 6-4, 7-5. Norrie is a strong clay court player so it’s no surprise he’s one of the favorites in Rio once again. He’s 77-44 on the surface for a career winning percentage of 63.64 and was 18-7 on clay in 2023. However, he’s coming off of a disappointing opening round loss to Federico Coria in the Argentina Open last week.

Before that, Norrie lost to Zverev in the fourth round at the Australian Open. He’s 4-2 overall this season. A five-time ATP Tour winner, Norrie isn’t really worth an outright bet this weekend considering his recent struggles and the fact he’ll have to contend with a determined and motivated Alcaraz.

Nicolas Jarry

Jarry was a semifinalist at last year’s Rio Open as a qualifier. The 28-year-old Chilean, also a strong clay court player, lost to Alcaraz in the semi-finals and, coincidentally, was playing Alcaraz in the semi-finals of the Argentina Open this past weekend.

Jarry lost to Flavio Cobolli in five sets in the opening round of the Australian Open and, before that, lost in the second round of the Adelaide International to Jiri Lehecka. He was 22-8 on clay last season and has a career 65.7 winning percentage on the surface.

2024 Rio Open Final Betting Prediction

Outside of Alcaraz, there’s no one player who stands out from the rest. While it’s not always advisable to back struggling players, Francisco Cerundolo is a player who could bounce back this week. He lost in the first round in each of his last two tournaments, both of which were in his native Argentina, and should play with a lot less pressure in Brazil.
