Alex Molcan has been in decent form recently but lacks a lot of consistency and will be desperate to make the most out of his opportunity at the Rio Open. He hasn’t made it to the later stages of any of the major tournaments he has played in the last couple of months. He lost to Auger-Aliassime in the Australian Open in the second round and also in the opening round to Thiem at the Argentina Open. At the ASB Classic and Maharashtra Open, he lost to Halys and Djere both in the opening round respectively. In the ongoing Rio Open, he beat Fonseca in the first-round matchup by 6-0, 6-3.
Hugo Dellien has been in great form recently and looks to take that form into the ongoing Rio Open as well. He made it to the semi-finals of the last tournament, which was the Concepcion Challenger losing to Coria. In the Australian Open and in Wimbledon, he lost to Couacaud and De Minaur right in the first round. In the Cordoba Open, he beat Seyboth Wild, Cachin, Pella, and Juan Cerundolo only to lose to Baez in the semi-finals. And at the Argentina Open, he lost to Etcheverry right in the first round. In the ongoing Rio Open, he beat Sousa in the first-round matchup by 6-0, 6-2.
