Here's all the information about the 2022 edition of the Cordoba Open.
What is the Cordoba Open
The Cordoba Open is the first tournament of the "Golden Swing," which includes four clay court events that take place in South America. It is one of two ATP events played in Argentina, the inaugural edition of which was held in 2019. While it usually takes place in the first week of February, in 2021 it was conducted in the last week of the month due to the pandemic.
The tournament is an ATP 250 level event and is played on outdoor clay courts. Past champions include Juan Ignacio Londero, Cristian Garin and Juan Manuel Cerundolo.
Venue
The Cordoba Open will be played at the Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes in Cordoba, Argentina.
Players
Diego Schwartman and Dominic Thiem are the top two seeds at the tournament. While the Argentinian competed well at the ATP Cup to begin the year, he was upset in the second round of the Australian Open by Christopher O'Connell.
Thiem, on the other hand, has been sidelined with injuries and struggled with fitness issues for most of 2021, officially ending his season in August. This will be the Austrian's first tournament since the Mallorca Open in June 2021.
