The Wimbledon courts were the scene of a remarkable meeting between two world tennis talents this Monday. Brazilian Guto Miguel, current number one in the youth rankings and top seed in the tournament, participated in training with Italian Jannik Sinner, a standout on the professional circuit.
Shortly after the session, the 17-year-old from Goiás won an important victory in the doubles, alongside Slovenian Ziga Sesko, overcoming the partnership of Czech Jakub Kuzy and Kai Thompson, from Hong Kong, by 7/6 (5) and 7/5. The organization of the English Grand Slam released records of the training session that brought together the two “number ones” in their respective categories.
Roland Garros champion’s performance at Wimbledon
Guto Miguel consolidated his position as leader of the youth rankings after his recent victory at Roland Garros. He arrived at Wimbledon as the main favorite in the junior men’s draw. On Saturday, in his debut in the singles category, he demonstrated his strength by beating the British Vincent Fletcher in two straight sets, with partials of 6/3 and 6/3. His next challenge, worth a place in the round of 16, will be this Tuesday, around 9 am (Brasília time), against the American Jack Secord.
Participation of other Brazilians in the men’s youth bracket
In the youth men’s competition, other Brazilian tennis players also took to the court. Pedro Chabalgoity’s participation ended in the opening round, being beaten by the Dutchman Thijs Boogard with scores of 6/4 and 6/3. Likewise, Leonardo Storck, who had faced Guto Miguel in the semifinals of Roland Garros 2026, was eliminated in the first round of Wimbledon, losing to German Jamie Mackenzie, the second seed on English grass among juniors, by 6/3 and 6/1.

Among the female athletes, Naná Silva suffered a defeat in her debut match in the tournament, losing to the American Olivia Traynor by 6/1, 3/6 and 7/6 (6). Victoria Barros was also eliminated in the singles bracket this Tuesday, during the second round, after being overcome by Romanian Maia Burcescu in a close game, with partials of 3/6, 7/5 and 7/6 (4). Despite the results in singles, both Brazilians stand out in the top 10 of the youth ranking, with Victoria in fourth place and Naná in seventh. Together, Naná and Victoria reached the round of 16 in the doubles, after beating the British Tegan Bush and Teodora Prisadnikova 6/4 and 6/2, also this Tuesday.
