Brazil May Have Another Top 100 Player in Joao Sousa



Brazil has two players in the Top 100 right now, Ricardo Mello (#89) and Thomaz Bellucci (#36).  In Kitzbuhel, Brazil's #3 player, Joao Sousa, made a splash by reaching the semifinals.  He's currently ranked at #110.  He lost to eventual champion Robin Haase.  He might reach the Top 100 in the next few weeks, if he continues his form.

In the quarters, he upset #46 Pablo Andujar of Spain 63 64.  In the second round, he won over Argentinian Diego Junqueira (#97) 62 62.  In the first round, he won over Polish Jerzy Janowicz (#142) 63 46 76(3), which ironically was his tightest match.
