Costa do Sauípe Open 2026: when and where does the Challenger 125 take place
The tournament will return to the clay of the Costa do Sauípe complex between November 1 and 8, 2026, with matches running from the start of the qualifying bracket to the grand final. The courts were revitalized especially to host the professional circuit, with grandstands and living spaces for the public.
As in 2025, the tournament is expected to reserve invitations for young Brazilian talents, both in the main and in the qualifiers, a unique opportunity to closely follow the next names in national tennis.
What is ATP Challenger 125, anyway?
The ATP (Association of Professional Tennis Players) organizes the men's world tennis circuit, divided into different tournament levels. Above are major events, such as the Masters 1000, ATP 500, and ATP 250. Just below, is the ATP Challenger Tour, considered the essential step between training tournaments and the sport's elite: it's where promising young people build their first great results and more experienced tennis players seek to get back on track.
Within this circuit, the number that accompanies the word Challenger (in this case, 125) indicates the ranking points offered to the champion, and the higher the number, the more relevant the tournament within the category. It was precisely in this environment that superstars like Rafael Nadal took their first steps towards the top of the world ranking, which makes hosting a Challenger 125 such an honor
