Hugo Calderano e Bruna Takahashi estreiam nesta quinta-feira (29) no WTT Champions de Montpellier. A chave de simples do torneio francês reserva japoneses aos dois brasileiros já na primeira rodada, com vaga nas oitavas em jogo.
Bruna é a primeira a jogar. Marcada para as 09h45 (horário de Brasília), a partida será contra Miwa Harimoto, número 3 do mundo e terceira cabeça de chave. O duelo já aconteceu em junho, nas oitavas do WTT Star Contender de Ljubljana, na Eslovênia, e a asiática levou por 3 sets a 1, com parciais de 13/11, 11/13, 11/7 e 11/8.
Na sequência, às 10h20, Calderano entra em ação. Cabeça de chave número 6, ele encara Hiroto Shinozuka, atual 20º do ranking mundial, em duelo com cara de revanche: em julho, nas oitavas do Smash dos Estados Unidos, o japonês virou por 3 sets a 1, com 4/11, 11/9, 11/6 e 11/3.
No histórico geral, porém, a vantagem é do brasileiro, que venceu os três confrontos disputados na temporada de 2025.
