Cerundolo Riding Title Momentum
Francisco Cerundolo finally ended the frustration of near misses on South American clay by capturing the Buenos Aires title last week, doing so without dropping a set.
He has carried that confidence straight into Rio, opening his campaign with a composed straight-sets win over Mariano Navone and showing no signs of a post-title dip.
The Argentine has been extremely solid since the start of the season, highlighted by a run to the second week at the Australian Open and an overall 8–2 record in 2026.
Cerundolo also owns a strong record in Rio de Janeiro, which bodes well for another deep run. In his previous appearances here, he has regularly progressed to the latter stages, reaching the quarterfinals multiple times and turning a couple of those runs into semifinal appearances.
