The '''2019 Rio Open''' was a professional men's [[tennis]] tournament played on outdoor [[clay court]]s. It was the sixth edition of the [[Rio Open]], and formed part of the [[ATP Tour 500]] series of the [[2019 ATP Tour]]. It took place in [[Rio de Janeiro]], Brazil between February 18 and 24, 2019.
There was a plan to move the tournament from the clay court surface in [[Jockey Club Brasileiro]] to the outdoor [[hard courts]] at the [[Olympic Tennis Centre (Rio de Janeiro)|Olympic Tennis Centre]], which hosted the [[Tennis at the 2016 Summer Olympics|tennis events]] of the [[2016 Summer Olympics]] situated in [[Barra Olympic Park]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.lance.com.br/tenis/mudanca-rio-open-para-arena-olimpica-esta-certa-diz-aglo.html|title=Parceria avança, e Rio Open deve mudar para Parque Olímpico em 2019|access-date=2019-01-10|work=[[Lance!]]|language=pt-BR}}</ref> The intention was to attract more world class players in the tournament such as [[Novak Djokovič]], [[Roger Federer]], and [[Andy Murray]] who consistently declined to play the event. [[Juan Martín del Potro]] once said to the Rio Open director Luiz Carvalho that he would play Rio Open when the surface changes.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ubitennis.net/2017/12/rio-open-hoping-move-olympic-tennis-centre-surface-change-possible|title=Rio Open hoping to move to Olympic Tennis Centre, surface change possible|access-date=2019-01-10|work=Ubitennis}}</ref>
