Career
In the ITTF world rankings , in which he started at 377th, he was first performed in September 2002, from 2003 he took part in tournaments in the adult area. That year he won silver in doubles at the Pan American Games and bronze in singles and doubles at the Latin American Championships. At the Latin American Championships in 2005 he again won bronze in doubles and was part of the Brazilian team that won the gold medal. The following year he participated in the World Championships for the first time , at which he has been represented every time since (as of 2017); the Brazilian team reached 19th place there and first place at the 2007 Pan American Games . The 2007 Latin American Championships also turned out to be successful for Tsuboi, there was again gold with the team and three bronze medals in singles, doubles and mixed. He improved this result in 2008 by winning silver in doubles and achieving the same results in the other competitions as in 2007. In 2008 he was on the World Tour for the first time outside America, took part in the Olympic Games for the first time and won through the Semi-final participation in doubles at the Brazilian Open, his first medal on the World Tour.
In 2009 Tsuboi was not very active internationally, but reached the second round in doubles at the World Cup , his best placement to date. In 2010 he made it to the semi-finals for the third time at the Latin American Championships and won gold with the team for the fourth time. In addition, he climbed to 101st place in the world rankings - with 103rd place in June 2010 he was the best-placed Brazilian for the first time ahead of Thiago Monteiro - but did not reach a place among the top 100 until 2011 when he won the Chile Open won first individual medal on the World Tour (bronze), won the Latin America Cup and was thus able to qualify for the World Cup for the first time . In 2012 the second participation in the Olympic Games followed , in which he was eliminated again in the first round. Tsuboi did not take part in the 2013 Latin American Championships, but this year he once again made it into the top 100 in the world, where he was able to establish himself for a long time; at the Latin America Cup, he made it to the semi-finals, just like the year after. In 2014 he also won gold with the team for the sixth time at the Latin American Championships, in whose individual competitions he also won two silver and one gold. With the team he played in the World Cup for the first time in the Championship Division, in the world ranking, he reached in November with space 33 its preliminary record. For the 2014/15 season he joined the German Bundesliga club TTC Schwalbe Bergneustadt .
At the Latin American Championships 2015 Tsuboi was missing again, but he won silver in the individual and gold in the team at the Pan American Games and was able to win the Latin America Cup for the second time. This enabled him to participate in the World Cup for the second time , in which he moved into the main round with games and sets tied due to his slightly better point difference - he had 131: 129 balls, the second Omar Assar 128: 127 and the third Tiago Apolónia 122: 125 - and reached the quarterfinals by defeating Tang Peng . In 2016 he did not take part in either the Latin American Championship or the Latin America Cup, but at the World Cup he and the team were able to qualify for the Championship Division again for the next World Cup. His third participation in the Olympic Games followed in August, but he was eliminated again in the first round in singles. After he was only used three times in the Bundesliga in the 2015/16 season , he left the TTC Schwalbe Bergneustadt again and joined the Polish club PKS Kolping Frac Jarosław . At the end of 2016 he won the Swedish Open in doubles with Hugo Calderano after victories over the eventual vice-world champions of 2017 , Masataka Morizono and Yūya Ōshima , as well as over the reigning European champions Patrick Franziska and Jonathan Groth and thus his first gold medal on the World Tour . For the 2017/18 season he moved to Fibrain G2A AZS Politechnika Rzeszów within Poland . In the absence of Calderano, Tsuboi was also able to win the Panam Cup 2017 and thus qualify for the third time for the World Cup . With the Brazilian team at the 2018 World Cup , he defeated, among other things, vice European champions Portugal and surprisingly reached the quarter-finals, which were lost to Germany . For the 2018/19 season he moved back to the Bundesliga for Werder Bremen , and a year later for TTC Neu-Ulm . In 2020 he switched to the newcomer TTC OE Bad Homburg .
