Carlos Alcaraz, currently ranked #406, gave it a go against a tough ten year veteran of the tour Federico Coria (ranked #106) losing in three sets...6-4, 4-6, 6-4. At 16 years old this might be the one to watch. He sees his game more like Roger Federer's than anyone else. More Living Proof? Too bad about the two handed backhand.

A seismic tremor down in Rio de Janeiro...a sixteen year old ranked #406 defeated Albert Ramos-Vinolas who is ranked #41. This is news. Suddenly this young player is on the Tennisplayer.net radar. This is his first win in an ATP tournament. He next plays Federico Coria who is ranked #116. Let's see how this tournament pans out for the young Carlos Alcaraz.

Dominic Thiem is the top seed in a draw mostly headlined by clay court specialists.
