Rio Open has eight clay courts at the Jockey Club Brasileiro, including the central stadium (Court Guga Kuerten) with a 6,200-seat capacity. There is also an area called Leblon Boulevard, with several attractions for the public, such as stands, shops and food courts.
LEBLON BOULEVARD
At the Rio Open, one of the most exciting attractions is the Leblon Boulevard, a vibrant space that offers much more than just delicious food. This area, which features covered spaces and spans 10,000 square meters, is a true entertainment hub where visitors can explore sponsor booths and brands supporting the event, as well as the Fila store and La Boutique, the official store of the tournament, with exclusive products for tennis fans. Here, tennis fans have the chance to engage in interactive activations, participate in fun games, and even win exclusive prizes.
Leblon Boulevard is designed to provide fun and engagement for the whole family, ensuring that every visitor leaves with unforgettable memories, in addition to the excitement of the matches. It’s a true celebration of tennis and culture, bringing fans together to share unique moments during the Rio Open.
GASTRONOMY
This year, there will be several new additions to the lineup of bars and restaurants. One of the most talked-about restaurants of the moment, Francese, led by chef Elia Schramm and located in Ipanema, will bring four delicious recipes to the Leblon Boulevard: Frites à la truffe; Petit tartare with French fries; Rigatoni vodka with brie; and a cookie with white chocolate chips and pistachios.
Jappa da Quitanda has prepared a menu with six oriental cuisine options especially for the event. Among them are the Absurdo Joy, a six-piece portion featuring salmon joy, cream cheese, tarê sauce, and a special Jappa touch; and the Ebiten Versão Jappa, shrimp rolls with kewpie, katsuobushi, tarê sauce, and panko. Benola Burger will present three original creations by chef Pedro Benoliel especially for the Rio Open: the Benola Clássico, the Benola Burger, and the Benola Bacon.
Another highlight is the return of Brigadeiros Fabiana D’Angelo. In addition to these treats, Leblon Boulevard will offer other options such as Pizza Al Taglio, featuring delicious, freshly baked square slices; Vulcano’s sandwiches; the traditional Geneal hot dog; and A La Panata’s empanadas.
To cool off, there will be Oakberry açaí and Magnum popsicles.
There will also be no shortage of drink options. A sales success for the past three years, Grey Goose will once again bring the Grey Goose Match Point, the event’s official cocktail made with vodka, Tahiti lime, passion fruit syrup, and natural coconut water. Gin lovers can head to the Bombay Sapphire stand.
For beverages, visitors to Leblon Boulevard will also find the Black Princess beer bar, which has launched an exclusive commemorative can of Black Princess Gold, created especially for the tournament, as well as World Wine’s unique wine selection. And to round out the experience, a Melitta coffee to finish.
ART
Rio de Janeiro–based artist Marcos Chaves will be the creator of the artwork that will illustrate the official poster of the tournament’s 12th edition, to be unveiled soon. The initiative once again reinforces the event’s vocation for integrating sport, culture, and entertainment.
Born in 1961, Marcos Chaves is one of the leading figures in Brazilian contemporary art. Since the 1980s, he has developed a body of work characterized by appropriation and intervention, exploring a wide range of languages and media, including objects, photography, video, drawing, words, and sound. His career includes participation in major international biennials such as São Paulo, Havana, Cerveira, Luleå, and Mercosul, as well as exhibitions at prestigious institutions including the Mori Art Museum (Tokyo), Martin-Gropius-Bau (Berlin), Ludwig Museum, the Museum of Modern Art of Rio de Janeiro, and the São Paulo Museum of Art (MASP).
CORCOVADO CLUB AND PEDRA DA GÁVEA
Exclusive to invited guests, the Corcovado Club is a 2,200-square-meter space designed for relaxing, socializing, and enjoying the tournament with comfort, excellent gastronomy, and brand activations that help foster natural connections in tune with the rhythm of the event.
Since 2022, the Rio Open has also featured Pedra da Gávea, a second hospitality area spanning 500 square meters, expanding the social and networking spaces throughout the tournament schedule.
As has been a tradition since the very first edition of the Rio Open, the gastronomy of the venue will be handled by Buffet Páreo, featuring a high-quality menu created by chef Marcones de Deus. The menu will include signature appetizers and main courses that celebrate fresh, seasonal ingredients.
For drinks, Bacardi brings back one of the tournament’s sensations: the “Match Point,” the official Rio Open cocktail, which will return in 2026, repeating the success of previous editions.
The official beer of the Rio Open for the fourth consecutive year, Black Princess— the premium beer brand of Grupo Petrópolis — will offer guests an exclusive commemorative can of Black Princess Gold, created especially for the tournament. There will also be Black Princess Let’s Hop (IPA) draft beer and TNT, the brand’s sports and energy drink, also from Grupo Petrópolis.
Wines and sparkling wines selected by World Wine complete the beverage list, in addition to coffee served by Melitta.
The elegance of the furniture will once again be entrusted to Lider, showcasing its distinctive Brazilian identity. With more than 80 years of tradition, taste, and comfort, the brand uses artisanal woodworking and, for the sixth consecutive year, will be responsible for the interior design of the Corcovado Club and Pedra da Gávea.
LA BOUTIQUE
Between matches, style also takes the court at the Rio Open. La Boutique, the tournament’s official store, presents the Rio Open 2026 Collection, now available on its e-commerce platform (www.laboutique.rioopen.com), featuring products that reflect the tennis lifestyle both on and off the court. The 2026 Collection of official Rio Open merchandise includes more than 50 items specially designed for passionate fans of the sport.
Among La Boutique’s main new releases for the 2026 edition are the Poster T-shirts. In addition to the T-shirt, the official poster is also available for purchase at La Boutique. Another highlight of the 2026 season is the Champions T-shirt, which pays tribute to all the tournament’s champions — a true collector’s piece for fans. For collectors, another great option is the commemorative book celebrating 10 years of the Rio Open.
In addition, La Boutique will also be one of the sales points for the exclusive collaboration between the Rio Open and Maria Filó — the tournament’s first collaboration with a Brazilian fashion brand. The partnership features exclusive tennis bags and a scarf, pieces that combine style, functionality, and Rio’s lifestyle, translating the connection between sport, fashion, and culture that is part of the event’s DNA. For those who cannot attend the event, the products are also available online, accessible here.
MUSIC
Before the court crowns the great champion, the final of the Rio Open 2026, on February 22, will be marked by one of the tournament’s most emblematic moments: the performance of the national anthem. In its 12th edition, the anthem will be performed by a percussion ensemble made up of children and young rhythm players from different samba schools, under the direction of Pretinho da Serrinha, with the participation of Miguelzinho do Cavaco, on the Sunday after Carnival—the day of the final.
FASHION
For tennis fans who love to wear sports-related clothing, the Rio Open will feature, in addition to La Boutique, the FILA House at the Jockey Club Brasileiro. Both spaces will celebrate the Rio Open with special collections offering a wide variety of fabrics and designs.
