Luis Augusto Miguel vs Vilius Gaubas prediction

Luis Augusto Miguel makes his tour-level debut at just 16 as he competes in Rio. He receives a wildcard after Gael Monfils’ withdrawal. The Brazilian rose to prominence at the US Open juniors, as he reached the semi-final stage. He competed in a couple of Challenger events in the autumn of 2025 but could not get past the first-round. Miguel began this year by making the quarter-finals of the Australian Open juniors.

He takes on Vilius Gaubas. The Lithuanian has found some form ahead of this tournament. He won both of his singles matches at the Davis Cup as Lithuania defeated Israel. Gaubas continued the momentum with two straight set victories in the qualifying stages of this event.

Miguel is clearly a talent for the future, but Gaubas is far more developed, despite being only 21 himself, and he has a fantastic opportunity to win a fifth match in a row.

Luis Augusto Miguel vs Vilius Gaubas tip: Vilius Gaubas to win 2-0
