O Costa do Sauípe Open concedeu convite à dupla de irmãos formada por Guto Miguel e Luis Felipe Miguel. O Challenger 125 da ATP acontece na Bahia entre 1º e 8 de novembro.
Guto defendeu o título do torneio em 2025, quando atuou ao lado de Eduardo Ribeiro, e agora volta em parceria familiar. A prova é a segunda mais importante do tênis masculino brasileiro, atrás só do Rio Open, e a maior do país na categoria Challenger, com US$ 225 mil em prêmios e 125 pontos no ranking de simples para quem vencer.
São três títulos profissionais de duplas na conta dos irmãos: o M15 de Joinville e o ITF M25 de São Paulo, ambos de 2025, mais o Challenger de Santos, conquistado já neste ano. A primeira conquista deles como profissionais saiu justamente em São Paulo.
Cinco anos mais velho, Luis Felipe joga tênis universitário: estuda na Florida State e compete pela Divisão 1 da NCAA, nos Estados Unidos. A viagem ao Brasil teve como motivo o Sauípe, o que devolve os dois à mesma quadra depois de meses separados pela rotina acadêmica.
Na decisão de 2025, Guto e Ribeiro bateram Gonzalo Escobar (Equador) e Miguel Reyes-Varela (México) por 7/6(4), 4/6 e 10/5 — até então o maior título da carreira do goiano. No começo de outubro, de novo com Ribeiro, ele disputou a decisão do Challenger de Curitiba. Na bagagem da temporada estão ainda os títulos juvenis de simples em Roland Garros e de duplas em Wimbledon.
“Nós já tínhamos combinado de jogar juntos no Costa do Sauípe Open esse ano”, contou Guto, que agradeceu o convite e brincou sobre as broncas do irmão.
A chave terá o argentino Andrés Molteni (53º) com o equatoriano Diego Hidalgo (95º), Nicolás Barrientos (92º), da Colômbia, ao lado de Mariano Kestelboim (91º), da Argentina, e o brasileiro Marcelo Zormann (109º) com o boliviano Federico Zeballos (129º), além de Ribeiro (133º) com o argentino Facundo Mena (158º) e Matheus Pucinelli com o chileno Tomás Barrios Vera.
O primeiro dia tem ingressos esgotados e os demais estão perto disso. As quadras de saibro são as do Costa do Sauípe Resorts, na Bahia.
