Rain Causes Delays at Rio Open
Play was interrupted by rainfall on Saturday, February 21, 2026, at the Rio Open. The match between Alejandro Tabilo and Thiago Agustin Tirante was originally scheduled for the Guga Kuerten court, but due to the ongoing weather conditions impacting the Buse versus Berrettini contest on that court, the Chilean-Argentine matchup has been moved to Court 1.
The tournament, an ATP 500 event, is a key stop on the South American clay court swing. Ignacio Buse advanced to the semifinals earlier today, defeating Matteo Berrettini 6-3, 2-6, and 6-3, setting up a clash with Tabilo. This marks Buse’s first semifinal appearance at an ATP 500 tournament.
Tabilo is looking to continue his strong run in Rio, while Tirante hopes to pull off an upset. The match between Tabilo and Tirante is scheduled for the third match on Court 1.
