Andy Murray has garnered widespread support from the tennis community for his proposal of establishing a dedicated South American clay court swing particularly praising the lively atmosphere at the Rio Open. Murray urged the ATP Tour to include a Masters 1000 event in South America underscoring the remarkable fan backing in the region.
Despite Murray labeling his viewpoint as “unpopular,” fellow players like Boris Becker and Diego Schwartzman expressed support. The current South American clay court swing comprises four tournaments and Murray advocates for increased recognition and opportunities in the tennis calendar for the region.
The Rio Open final features Argentines Sebastian Baez and qualifier Mario Navone while the upcoming event in Santiago, Chile is poised to continue the clay court excitement. While Murray’s perspective underscores the enthusiastic South American fanbase challenges persist in finding a balance between commercial interests and the appeal of these tennis tournaments.
