Gustavo Heide Returns to Defend His Title
Heide won the 2025 championship without dropping a set, beating Andrea Collarini 6-2, 6-3 in the final. That victory came after a difficult season that included back surgery and nearly seven months away from competition. Now ranked No. 112, the Brazilian returns looking for another title on familiar clay courts.
Three Former Champions Are Back
Heide isn’t the only former champion in the draw. Igor Marcondes won the inaugural 2021 tournament, beating Hugo Dellien 6-2, 6-4 in the final. Tomás Barrios Vera claimed the 2023 championship with a straight-sets win over Alejandro Tabilo. All three champions return, along with Dellien, who has some unfinished business.
Argentina Has the Numbers, Brazil Has Home Advantage
Seven Argentines appear on the entry list, led by Francisco Comesaña at No. 135. Brazil counters with five players, including Seyboth Wild, Heide, and João Lucas Reis da Silva.
Seyboth Wild can take the racket out of anyone’s hands when his forehand is working, but patience and consistency still win plenty of matches on clay.
Several of these players are also competing in the 2026 Montevideo Challenger, another important stop on the South American clay-court calendar.
