Tiago Cação (born February 28, 1998 in Peniche ) is a Portuguese tennis player .

Career

On the Junior Tour, Cação reached its highest ranking at the beginning of 2016 with place 57.

For the pros, he also played regularly on the ITF Future Tour from 2016 . There he won his first title in doubles in 2017, but remained outside the top 1000 in the world rankings at the end of the year . That changed in 2018 when he reached his first singles final in February, which he lost - just like his second final two months later - to his compatriot Frederico Ferreira Silva . In Braga he played his first match on the ATP Challenger Tour , where he lost to Alex De Minaur at the beginning . In the further course of the year he was defeated in three further future finals, but at the end of the year he still came in 398th in the world. In doubles he won three more futures in the course of the year and made it into the top 500.

At the beginning of 2019, he lost some of his points due to the ITF points reform, causing him to drop out of the top 600. He made another final in a future and his first victories at the Challenger level in Braga and Lisbon . At the ATP Tour tournament in Estoril , the Portuguese played his first game at this level thanks to a wildcard in doubles. At the side of his coach Frederico Gil , he lost the opening match in the match tie-breaker .
