Marcelo Demoliner’s dream of doubles in 2026 is over. This Wednesday (3), he and the Indian N. Sriram Balaji were defeated by the number 2 seed pair, formed by the British Henry Patten and the Finnish Harri Heliovaara. The game was 2 sets to 0, with partials of 6/3 and 6/4.
Marcelo is currently 78th in the doubles ranking. His teammate is 66th.
However, Brazil remains “alive” in women’s doubles. Luisa Stefani and Canadian Gabriela Dabrowski are in the semifinals of the clay court Grand Slam. This Friday (5), they will face the number 1 seed pair, formed by the Czech Katerina Siniakova and the American Taylor Townsend.
