South American U‑16 tennis championship in Bogotá

Overview

In early July 2026 Brazil announced its Under‑16 tennis squad for the South American Championships in Bogotá. The tournament was scheduled for 3 to 8 August at the America Tennis Club, featuring ten national teams in boys’ and girls’ divisions and serving as a qualifier for the Junior Davis Cup and Billie Jean King Cup world finals.

On 5 August, the round‑robin stage saw Bolivia’s men’s team defeat Chile 2‑1. Franco Arancibia won his first singles match, Andree Montellano split his singles, and the pair secured the decisive doubles victory. The Bolivian women’s squad, led by captain Diego Manrique, came close to upsetting Brazil, with María Laura Sejas beating Brazil’s Nathalia Pontes before Brazil prevailed in the doubles.

These matches continued the competition among the ten South American nations, with the top finishers still aiming for spots at the 2026 global finals. The championship will conclude with finals on 8 August.
