Luis Guto Miguel gets his first victory on the Challenger circuit
Brazilian Luis Guto Miguel secured the most significant victory of his young career this Tuesday by defeating Juan Pablo Ficovich 7-6(1), 7-5 at the Brasilia Challenger. At only 17 years old, the young tennis player achieved his first win on the Challenger circuit to advance to the second round. Guto Miguel also becomes the second player born in 2009 to win a match at this level after Frenchman Moïse Kouamé. After the match, he used a football metaphor to describe the moment: "I felt I was getting closer to a great victory and that, if I kept pushing and pulling... I could score the great goal."
