RIO DE JANEIRO — Cameron Norrie<\/a> started his defense of the Rio Open title by beating Bolivia’s Hugo Dellien<\/a> 6-3, 6-2 on Monday.<\/p>\n

“This is a special place for me, I won my biggest title last year here,” Norrie said. “I have another chance to work on my game and maybe enjoy the beach a little.”<\/p>\n

Norrie upset Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> in the 2023 final and both are seeded to make the final again.<\/p>\n

The second-seeded Norrie will face Chile’s Tomas Barrios Vera<\/a> next.<\/p>\n

Also, fourth-seeded player Francisco Cerundolo<\/a> of Argentina won.<\/p>\n

Alcaraz will play his opener on Tuesday against home crowd hope Thiago Monteiro<\/a>, and three-time major winner Stan Wawrinka<\/a> will take on Argentina’s Facundo D\u00edaz Acosta, fresh from winning the Argentina Open on Sunday as a wild card.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
