The ATP Tour action continues this week with ATP 500 events in Doha and Rio de Janeiro, as well as an ATP 250 event in Delray Beach.

Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, the top two players in the PIF ATP Rankings, headline the field at the Qatar ExxonMobil Open in Doha. Alcaraz and Sinner are both competing for the first time since the Australian Open.

“Obviously I can see myself that [I have had] a lot of success so far, winning the biggest tournaments in the world,” said Alcaraz at his pre-tournament press conference. “But I just see myself with weaknesses. A lot of players, I know that they’re trying to catch me up in terms of they are studying my game, they study how I play, trying to beat me, trying to challenge me. I have to be ready for that.”

Joao Fonseca will try to thrill his home fans at the Rio Open presented by Claro, and Taylor Fritz is set to pursue his third trophy in four years at the Delray Beach Open.
