History

There have been a number of precursor tournaments to this one held in Rio de Janeiro. The Rio de Janeiro International was a combined men's and women's event played on outdoor clay courts as part of the ILTF South American Circuit from 1947 to 1967 at the Rio de Janeiro Country Club. Later, the Rio de Janeiro Open was played on indoor carpet courts from 1989 to 1990 and was the first ATP World Series event played in Brazil.{{cite web|url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/1989/04/16/tennis-steffi-graf-beat-arantxa-sanchez/ |title=Tennis: Steffi Graf beat Arantxa Sanchez 6–3, 6–2 and... |work=Chicago Tribune |date=16 April 1989 |access-date=2013-09-23}}{{cite web|url=https://archive.seattletimes.com/archive/19900408/1065397/mattar-sznajder-reach-rio-de-janeiro-tennis-final |title=Mattar, Sznajder Reach Rio De Janeiro Tennis Final |work=Seattle Times |date=8 April 1990 |access-date=2013-09-23}} The licence for the men's event was taken over from the U.S. National Indoor Championships which did continue but was downgraded from an ATP 500 to an ATP 250 tournament.{{cite web |title=ATP approves event in Rio beginning in 2014 |url=https://longislandtennismagazine.com/article/atp-approves-event-rio-beginning-2014/ |website=Long Island Tennis Magazine |date=25 April 2012}}[http://www.wtatennis.com/news/article/3122958/title/rio-open-added-to-2014-calendar Rio Open Added To 2014 Calendar] – WTA, 26 March 2013

The first edition in 2014 was headlined by former world number one, Rafael Nadal and fellow Spanish player David Ferrer. Both of them are well known clay court specialists.

The women's tournament was discontinued and replaced by Hungarian Ladies Open after the 2016 edition.{{cite web |url=http://www.breakpointbrasil.com.br/2016/07/01/para-crescer-rio-open-empresta-wta-e-tera-apenas-atp-500/ |title=Para crescer, Rio Open 'empresta' WTA e terá apenas ATP 500 |access-date=2019-01-10|publisher=Globo Esporte|language=pt-BR}}

Prior to the 2019 edition, there was talk of moving the tournament from the clay court surface of Jockey Club Brasileiro to the outdoor hard courts at the Olympic Tennis Centre, which hosted the tennis events of the 2016 Summer Olympics situated in Barra Olympic Park.{{cite web|url=https://www.lance.com.br/tenis/mudanca-rio-open-para-arena-olimpica-esta-certa-diz-aglo.html|title=Parceria avança, e Rio Open deve mudar para Parque Olímpico em 2019|access-date=2019-01-10|work=Lance!|language=pt-BR}} The reasoning was to attract more world-class players to the tournament such as Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, and Andy Murray who consistently declined to play the event. Juan Martin del Potro once mentioned to the Rio Open director Luiz Carvalho that he would enter the Rio Open when the surface changes.{{cite web|url=https://www.ubitennis.net/2017/12/rio-open-hoping-move-olympic-tennis-centre-surface-change-possible|title=Rio Open hoping to move to Olympic Tennis Centre, surface change possible|access-date=2019-01-10|work=Ubitennis|date=7 December 2017}} This change never occurred.
