Soares takes fans behind the scenes in Rio

Published Feb 19, 2019

Most fans get to witness the drama and entertainment on the court, but most don't see what goes on behind the scenes, like where players and staff spend most of their time. At the Rio Open, Bruno Soares took fans on a tour to the inner sanctum of the first ATP 500 clay tournament of the season.

Going to the practice courts, through the gym, into the player's lounge, and then ending on center court, the 36-year-old showed off the perks of pro tennis and the supplies that everyone has before each match.

Soares will be using every amenity he can before his doubles match against Fabio Fognini and Juan Londero on Wednesday. Currently No. 5 in the world, the Brazilian will be teaming up with Marcelo Melo as the top seeds. Soares is seeking his second title of the season after winning in Sydney (with Jamie Murray).
