Erakovic resumed in the Rio Open, where she teamed up again with Soler Espinosa in the doubles. Seeded second, they started with a comfortable 6–2, 6–2 win over Carolina Alves and Heidi El Tabakh, but the second round match was far tougher. Their opponents, Tara Moore and Conny Perrin, broke Soler Espinosa's first service game, but the seeds broke back to level at four all. Erakovic and Soler Espinosa were unable to convert either of two break points at 6–5 to take the set, and a tie-break followed. Down 2–4 at the first changeover, Moor and Perrin then picked up five consecutive points to take the set. In total contrast, Erakovic and Soler Espinosa raced through the second set to win 6–0 in just 27 minutes, a rain break halfway through doing nothing to stop their progress. The match tie-break saw them battle back from 2–5 down to lead 8–7, but Moore and Perrin were able to take the next three points to complete an upset result, 7–6, 0–6, [10–8].
