AAT names six players to represent Argentina at South American Games | OneFootball

The Argentine Tennis Association (ATT) announced this Friday the six athletes who will represent the country at the 2026 South American Games in Santa Fe. Lautaro Midón (191st in the ATP rankings), Juan Manuel La Serna (286th), and Luciano Ambrogi (313th) will make up the men’s team, while Jazmín Ortenzi (163rd in the WTA rankings), Luisina Giovannini (168th), and Luciana Moyano (563rd) will be on the women’s team.

The tournament, which will be held from September 21 to 26 at the oval of the Rosario Racetrack (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 at stake: 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 took the men’s singles crown.

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