Whether you are looking for action on the clay or hard surface the Qatar and Rio Open promises to dish up exhilarating tennis this week.
Two ATP 500 tournaments are set to take place this week – with the Qatar Open in the middle east and the Rio Open in Brazil. The two tournaments will conclude this weekend – with the Qatar Open boosting an ensemble cast of tennis players including the top ranked players in the world – Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. The Rio Open – which will be played on clay – will see the likes of Joao Fonseca and Francisco Cerundolo headline the tournament in South America. ATP 500 tournaments are the fourth highest tier of tennis tournaments after the Grand Slams (Australian Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon & US Open) - which rewards 2000 ATP points, ATP Finals – which rewards 1500 points, ATP Masters 1000 – which rewards 1000 ATP points and ATP 500 – which rewards 500 points. SuperSportBet looks at the schedules for both the Qatar and Rio Open and the various betting markets available here on SuperSportBet.
