Brazil continues to experience an extraordinary moment at Roland Garros. Just a few days after Joao Fonseca's breakthrough in the men's draw, Luis Guto Miguel became the junior champion of the Parisian tournament by defeating Max Antonius in the final, becoming the first Brazilian to win the individual male title in the youth category.

The victory confirms the rise of a new generation of Brazilian talents dreaming of restoring the country to the forefront of world tennis. After lifting the trophy, Luis Guto Miguel spoke about the influence figures like Gustavo Kuerten and Joao Fonseca had on his development, how he managed the pressure of a Grand Slam final, and recalled his journey from Goiânia to becoming a champion at Roland Garros junior.

Luis Guto Miguel makes history for Brazil by conquering Roland Garros junior 2026

Luis Guto Miguel values the significance of winning Roland Garros junior

"It means a lot to me. It is the result of all the work we have done together, not just this week, but over many years."

"Right now, I feel that everything has worked as it should. I am very happy and enjoying the moment, but I also want to remain humble because we still have a lot of work ahead of us."

The Roland Garros junior champion draws inspiration from Joao Fonseca and Gustavo Kuerten

"When I was a child, I used to watch Novak Djokovic play, but now I am a big fan of Joao Fonseca. What he is doing is incredible. Brazil has a fantastic history at Roland Garros. There's everything Guga achieved, what Fonseca has done this week, and now I feel that I have also contributed something more to Brazilian tennis. I believe Brazil is experiencing a great moment again. All the players are growing together, and that is very positive for our tennis."

Luis Guto Miguel explains how he managed the final against Max Antonius

"Max is a very solid player. If he was in the final, it was because he came with a lot of confidence after a great week."

"At the beginning, I tried to intimidate him a bit, looking for winners and trying to impose my presence on the court, but he was playing very solid, and it was challenging to handle the situation. At a certain point, I felt that I managed to raise my level and make better use of the opportunities that presented themselves."

"Closing the match was not easy either. When you are so close to winning such a title, special feelings arise. It's something that you feel in your heart."

"I think we played a great match at a very high level. I also want to congratulate him for the week he had, but I am very happy to have achieved this victory."

The Brazilian atmosphere at Roland Garros marked one of the most important days of his career

"I am a player who loves to compete with the audience. In Brazil, we experience sports in a very passionate way because we are a country deeply connected to football, and I like to feel that energy."

"I want to thank all the people who supported me today. The atmosphere was amazing. I am completely sure that I will never forget this day. It will be a memory that will stay with me for a lifetime."

Joao Fonseca remains a reference for the new Brazilian generation

"The only time we coincided was during those two weeks I mentioned earlier. We didn't get to train together, but we do stay in touch."

"I remember during the US Open junior, he sent me a message when I was in the semifinals. He wrote to tell me to continue believing in myself and that I could do it. Maybe we didn't spend many hours on the court together, but we remain connected, and for me, that means a lot."

The origins of Luis Guto Miguel, junior champion of Roland Garros

"I am from Goiânia, and when I was 14, I moved to Brasilia to continue growing as a player. There, I started training at the Dumont Tennis Academy alongside Kiki Grangeiro and Santos Dumont."

"Today in my box was Kiki. Dumont couldn't come to Paris, but I am sure he was watching the match on TV. Also present were my physical trainer and my family. Having them here with me made this moment even more special."

Luis Guto Miguel's victory confirms the excellent moment Brazilian tennis is going through. Inspired by figures like Gustavo Kuerten and Joao Fonseca, the young champion of Roland Garros junior has written his own page in his country's tennis history and emerges as one of the great promises of the new generation. The challenge now will be to transfer that success to the professional circuit, but Paris has already left him an unforgettable memory and a privileged place in Brazilian tennis.
