Copa Gerdau in Brazil is the first JGA event - these are basically analgous to Masters events, only you actually get the same ranking points as a Junior Slam tournament. The doubles were a little more competitive than in Australia, but once again Prisha/Herena cruised through the draw to victory. Prisha came in ranked 13th here, but was seeded 8th as a number of players declined to participate. He ran into Frederick Anglert once again; Anglert was the runner-up in Australia and seeded second, so this match happened in the quarterfinals. It was close, but this time Prisha had the advantadge of being more skilled on the clay, and pulled out a 6-7(4), 6-4, 6-4 success. In the semis, he faced off against probably the only juniors player who has an edge on clay; his doubles partner Lucio Herena. It was Herena's toughest match of the event as the Spaniard would go on to take the title, defeating our protagonist 7-5, 6-1.

Overall, Herena comes out looking best here of course with trophies in both disciplines, but Prisha did second-best overall and that's not bad. Moved up to 8th, and several more weeks of training will ensue before the Italian Open and junior RG take place in a three-week span; we'll only be able to play doubles at one of those at most.
