Sa and Smith play in the first Sauipe ATP tournament together. The partnership, which began in 2009 and now has six titles challenger, search in the 2011 Brazil Open ATP title unheard of. “The expectation is huge. Surely, the Brazil Open this year will be one of the keys harder every year, mainly by the presence of the brothers Bryan and (Lukasz) Kubot and (Oliver) Marach. But we made some good tournaments in the year challengers past, we won some titles and we are ready to take a step forward, “he said Sa.
The experienced miner, who collects the mark of 28 doubles titles in challengers, has also been champion at Sauipe, Brazil Open 2008, alongside the miner Marcelo Melo.”It will be a special week. Brazil Open is a tournament we all love to play, we have a chance of being close to family and friends. Gaining an ATP title there would be perfect,” said Sa.
The ATP (Association of Tennis Professionals) published a list of ten pairs confirmed so far for the Brazil Open, highlighting the presence of the Bryan brothers (double world No. 1 and five-times champions of the Australian Open), Lukasz Kubot / Oliver Marach (double Open champion from Brazil) and Marcelo Melo miners and Bruno Soares (Brazilian duo better placed in the world ranking, 78).
