AAT announced Argentina's six players for the South American Games | OneFootball

The Argentine Tennis Association (ATT) announced this Friday the six athletes who will represent the country at the Santa Fe 2026 South American Games. Lautaro Midón (No. 191 in the ATP rankings), Juan Manuel La Serna (No. 286) and Luciano Ambrogi (No. 313) will make up the men’s team, while Jazmín Ortenzi (No. 163 in the WTA rankings), Luisina Giovannini (No. 168) and Luciana Moyano (No. 563) will compete on the women’s side.

The tournament, which will take place from September 21 to 26 at the Rosario Hippodrome oval (Santa Fe and Rafaela are the other host cities), will grant direct qualification to the Lima 2027 Pan American Games to the finalists in the men’s and women’s draws. In addition, five gold medals will be up for grabs: men’s and women’s singles, men’s and women’s doubles, and mixed doubles.

The Rosario venue brings back good memories for several of the selected players. At the 2022 South American Youth Games, Moyano claimed the gold medal by defeating Giovannini, who took silver, in the singles final. Then, together, they were crowned doubles champions. In addition, the 20-year-old from Córdoba won the mixed doubles title partnering with Midón, who also captured the men’s singles title.

In addition to securing their spots for next year’s Pan American Games, the delegation will have the mission of reaffirming Argentine tennis’s historic dominance in the region at what will be the 13th edition of the South American Games.
