Tiago Fernandes is the first brazilian player to win a junior gran slam. Tiago won the ITF Autralian open 2 sets above. He beated the Australian Sean Berman 7/5 6/3. It is difficult to believe that not even Gustavo Kurten (the best player Brazil ever had) won a junior gran slam while 17 years old or below.
Considering the adult's tournaments, Tiago is the fourth brazilian player to win a gran slam, joining Maria Esther Bueno (19 titles), Gustavo Kuerten (three titles in Roland Garros - 1997, 2000 e 2001) and Thomaz Koch (champion in doubles in Roland Garros- 1975).
Tiago started losing his servis, and the australian opened 2-0. Impressively, the brazilian recuperated him selve and made 2-2. At the end of the first set, Tiago broke Berman's service and won 7/5.
In the second set, things were much better for the 17 year old brazilan. He opened 3-0, making his two services and breaking berman's service. So it went, and Tiago made 5/3. The las game was really thouf for Tiago, cause Berman made a lot of break points. Fortunatly, Tiago didn't lose his service. He ended the match with an outstanding ace, and realizing he had made history, Tiago droped his raquet and didn't believe what he had done. He had become the first brazilian to win a junior gran slam
