PORTO/STARNBERG, October 4, 2026
Henrique Rocha produced a memorable week on home soil to win the Eupago Porto Open, capturing the fifth ATP Challenger title of his career at the Complexo Desportivo do Monte Aventino in Porto.
The Portuguese eighth seed completed his title run with a comeback victory over Spain’s Inigo Montes-De La Torre, winning 2-6, 6-4, 6-4 in Sunday’s singles final. After dropping the opening set, Rocha regained control of the match and completed the turnaround to celebrate one of the most important titles of his career in front of his home crowd after two hours and 33 minutes.
Nothing like winning at home 🇵🇹❤️

Rocha had already impressed throughout the week. The 22-year-old world No. 127 opened his home campaign with a 7-5, 6-3 victory over Romanian Cezar Cretu.
He then produced a dominant performance against Croatia’s Mili Poljicak, winning 6-2, 6-0 to reach the quarterfinals.
There, Rocha faced Denmark’s August Holmgren. The Porto native continued his run with another strong performance, defeating the Dane 6-3, 7-6(7) in a closely contested second set.
His path to the final then became unusual. Rocha was scheduled to face Switzerland’s Jerome Kym in the semi-finals, but Kym was unable to play due to a shoulder injury and Rocha advanced to the championship match by walkover.
The victory earns Rocha 125 ATP Ranking points and €30,460 in prize money. The Eupago Porto Open was an ATP Challenger 125 event with a total prize purse of €203,900.
