Salvador (BA) – A cidade receberá um festival de tênis nas duas primeiras semanas de novembro, com dois grandes eventos internacionais no profissional e no juvenil.
Entre os dias 1º e 8 de novembro entram em ação os profissionais para a disputa do torneio M15, com pontos válidos no ranking da Associação dos Tenistas Profissionais (ATP), no piso rápido do Clube Bahiano de Tênis. Será a segunda edição consecutiva da competição.
A partir do dia 7 e até 14 de novembro, os jovens talentos disputam a 41ª edição do Bahia Juniors Cup. Os atletas da categoria até 18 anos jogam no Clube Bahiano, e as categorias 12 anos (nacional) e 14 e 16 anos (pelo ranking Cosat) jogam no Costa Verde Tênis Clube, no bairro de Piatã.
O Bahia Juniors Cup é um dos eventos mais valiosos e tradicionais do país na temporada e já revelou nomes como Gustavo Kuerten (campeão em 1993 da categoria 16 anos) e, mais recentemente, João Fonseca (campeão em 2021), Guto Miguel (vice-campeão em 2024) e Thiago Wild (campeão em 2017). No ano passado, a final masculina teve Livas Damázio superando Leonardo Storck, que nesta temporada foi semifinalista juvenil de Roland Garros.
“Estamos empolgados em poder realizar por mais um ano o Bahia Juniors Cup, que sempre revela grandes nomes do tênis e mais um ano do torneio profissional, dando a oportunidade de nossos jovens poderem somar seus primeiros pontos no ranking e subirem na classificação mundial. Agradecemos a parceria da Sudesb, que sempre apoia o tênis na Bahia de forma incondicional”, disse Gian Biglia, presidente da Federação Bahiana.
