Gabriela Dabrowski wins career-high 4th WTA doubles title of season, prevailing in Brazil
Ottawa native Gabriela Dabrowski captured her fourth WTA doubles title of the season on Monday, teaming with Brazil's Luisa Stefani to beat Americans Anna Rogers and Allura Zamarripa 6-3, 3-6, 10-7 in the final of the SP Open in Brazil.
The Brazilian men’s national volleyball team secured qualification for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games with a 3-0 win over Argentina on Sunday at Maracanazinho in Rio de Janeiro. The match concluded with a 25-20, 25-23, and 25-20 victory, conducted in front of a crowd of 11,968 spectators. Coach Bernardinho's team demonstrated their prowess throughout the game, ultimately winning the overall title.
This victory marks the team's 34th South American Championship title, a record they have maintained since volleyball's introduction to the Olympics in 1964. Despite the absence of any loss in Olympic appearances since 1964, the Brazilian men's team has consistently demonstrated their dominance in the sport. The match's top scorer was opposite hitter Darlan, who contributed 23 points to his team's triumph.
The All-Tournament Team, recognizing the game's star performers, included Darlan, setter Cachopa, outside hitters Adriano and Aravena, middle blockers Flávio and Loser, and libero Massimino. Brazilian team captain Ricardo Lucarelli, an outside hitter, was honored as the tournament's Most Valuable Player.
