“I was very calm right from the beginning of the match, converted the main points and served very well. My return was also good. I had some problems with it earlier this week but today I managed to return very deep,” Heide analyzed his encounter in the quarterfinals. The current World No. 18 in the ITF Juniors Ranking, who clinched one title on home soil at the JB1 Brasilia in February this season, will face Paulo Saraiva in the stage of the final four.
In other action, No. 2 seed Daniel Dutra da Silva, winner of last week’s São Paulo Tennis Cup, beat Luis Britto 6-4, 6-1 to meet Gabriel Tumasonis, who edged past Gabriel Ciro, 6-4, 6-4.
