Cordoba Open Preview & Day 1 – Monday 3 February 2020 Page 2 of 5 www.ATPTour.com CLAY-COURT WIN LEADERS (LAST 52 WEEKS) PLAYER WIN-LOSS WIN TITLES RECORD PERCENTAGE Dominic Thiem (AUT) 23-7 0.767 2 Albert Ramos-Vinolas (ESP) 22-12 0.647 1 Rafael Nadal (ESP) 21-3 0.875 2 Guido Pella (ARG) 21-9 0.700 1 Cristian Garin (CHI) 20-9 0.690 2 Pablo Cuevas (URU) 20-12 0.625 0 Casper Ruud (NOR) 19-8 0.704 0 Juan Ignacio Londero (ARG) 18-11 0.621 1 Laslo Djere (SRB) 17-9 0.654 1 Alexander Zverev (GER) 16-8 0.667 1 CORDOBA OPEN TALKING POINTS • The four-week-long “Golden Swing” through Latin America begins with the second edition of the Cordoba Open. Six of the top ten clay-court win leaders over the last 52 weeks (see chart above) will contest the event. • Inaugural champion Juan Ignacio Londero returns to try to defend his title. Londero, who hails from nearby Jesus Maria, Argentina, captured his first ATP Tour singles title as a 112th-ranked wild card at Cordoba last year. He became the first player since Steve Darcis at 2007 Amersfoort to win a title without having won a Tour-level match when the tournament started. • All four Argentines in the Top 100 of the FedEx ATP Singles Rankings are in the main draw, led by top Argentine Diego Schwartzman, the World No. 14. 2019 finalist and World No. 22 Guido Pella, World No. 50 Londero, and World No. 74 Federico Delbonis are the Top 100 players who are also in the mix on home soil. • Ten Argentines in total are found in the 28-player main draw this year. Last year, the all-Argentine final between Londero and Pella was preceded by a semi-final lineup which had three out of the four players from the home country (adding Delbonis). Five out of the eight 2019 quarter-finalists were from Argentina as well (adding Schwartzman and 2020 wild card Pedro Cachin). • Londero was one of the 15 players who won their first ATP Tour singles title in 2019, which is the most first-time winners in a season since 1999, when there were 16. Four more of those first-time winners are also in Cordoba – Laslo Djere (Rio de Janeiro), Pella (Sao Paulo), Cristian Garin (Houston), and Lorenzo Sonego (Antalya). • Maximo Gonzalez, a doubles finalist last year, aims to go one step further in 2020, pairing with Fabrice Martin as the top seeds. Gonzalez’s partner from 2019, Horacio Zeballos, is one of his first-round foes this edition. Andres Molteni, who won the title last season with Roman Jebavy, teams up with Leonardo Mayer this year.

  • 2020 Western & Southern Open Doubles Field
    Western & Southern Open Defending Champions Headline Doubles Fields CINCINNATI (Aug. 11, 2020) – Both the women’s and men’s defending champions are among the initial entries to play doubles at the 2020 Western & Southern Open, which will be held Aug. 20-28 at the USTA Billie Jean King Tennis Center in New York. The 2019 WTA doubles winners – Lucie Hradecka and Andreja Klepac – are joined by the ATP Tour champions – Ivan Dodig and Filip Polasek – to headline the early entries. Other notable entries on the women’s side include the teenage pairing of Cincinnati’s 18-year-old Caty McNally and 16-year-old Coco Gauff. Dubbed “McCoco,” the duo won a pair of WTA titles in 2019 – at Washington, D.C. and Luxembourg – and reached the US Open Round of 16. Elise Mertens and Aryna Sabalenka, who finished 2019 atop the WTA Porsche Race to Shenzen as the season’s No. 1 team, are also in the field. Reigning Australian Open singles champion Sofia Kenin, a 21-year- old American, has entered with former Western & Southern Open singles and doubles winner Victoria Azarenka. The top two teams in the ATP Tour doubles race are entered in the men’s draw. The No. 1 team of Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah is returning after reaching two straight Western & Southern Open finals. They are joined in the field by the No. 2 team of Lukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo. The ATP Tour No. 1 ranked singles player, Novak Djokovic, has entered the doubles draw with countryman Filip Krajinovic. An additional five women’s teams and six men’s duos will join the fields through on-site entries, while the tournament will award three wild cards into each draw to complete the 32-team fields.
