Pinto wins first Portuguese senior singles championship
Marcos Freitas took the men’s national title in Vila Nova de Gaia.
Source publication date:
Matilde Pinto won her first Portuguese senior national singles title at nineteen years old. She defeated Júlia Leal in the women’s final in Vila Nova de Gaia, adding senior gold after a development pathway that included victories in almost all younger age categories.
Marcos Freitas won the men’s singles championship by beating João Geraldo in straight games. Bode Abiodun and Antoine Doyen shared men’s bronze, while Mariana Santa Comba and Maria Ruivo completed the women’s podium. The titles formed part of the 2025–2026 national championships.
André Cruz and Andrei Bukin won men’s doubles, and Santa Comba partnered Inês Matos to take women’s doubles. Pinto added mixed doubles gold alongside Abiodun, finishing ahead of Carlos Gonçalves and Leal. The new women’s singles champion therefore left with two event titles.
