Early life
[edit]Born in Rio de Janeiro, he started playing table tennis at the age of eight.

From the age of 10 to 12, he was a member of the Rio volleyball team and was pre-school state champion in the long jump.[9][10]
At the age of 14, Calderano left Rio de Janeiro, and the Laranjeiras club, home of Fluminense, where he trained, for São Caetano do Sul, in São Paulo, to wear the uniform of the Brazilian table tennis team for the first time. In 2010, at the age of 14, he was South American and Latin American Children's Champion.

The Japanese phenomenon, just 15 years old, played his quarter-final match a day earlier.

Calderano started the year ranked 17th in the world, and arrived at this tournament sixth in the rankings.[37][38]

Calderano entered World Table Tennis' inaugural event WTT Doha. After receiving a minor scare in the first round to co-patriot Gustavo Tsuboi, Calderano comfortably beat An Jaehyun in the round of 16.[48] However, he lost to Simon Gauzy in the quarterfinals of the WTT Contender Event. In the WTT Star Contender event, he bowed out in the round of 16 to Darko Jorgic after missing his own serve at deuce in the fifth game.[49] Although it briefly looked like Lin Yun-Ju had passed Calderano for the Olympic fourth seed following the results of WTT Doha, in April ITTF amended the seeding system so that Calderano was once again slated to be the fourth seed.[50]
In an interview with JAPAN Forward in July, Calderano named mentality as one of his strong suits and stated that he used to work with a mental coach until the coach died.[51]
Calderano made up for his loss in the WTT Contender Doha and WTT Star Contender Doha earlier in March by winning the title at WTT Star Contender Doha in September. He defeated Liam Pitchford and Darko Jorgic in the semifinal and final, respectively, on his way to victory.[52]

[edit]![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/cf/Hugo_Calderano.jpg/220px-Hugo_Calderano.jpg)
In February 2021, Calderano was already three years among the top ten players in the world in table tennis and was ranked sixth in the world rankings. Calderano qualified for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games as seed No.4, being the best non-Asian in the world ranking. [58]

2022–present
[edit]In November 2022, at the 2022 Pan American Table Tennis Championships, Calderano became three-time Pan American champion in singles and in the team category. The table tennis player completed seven years undefeated in this continental competition.[62]
In March 2023, Calderano competed in the Singapore Grand Smash, a tournament that features the participation of all the top 20 in the world. He defeated world No. 20 Yukiya Uda in the 2nd round; Darko Jorgic, world No. 10, in the round of 16; Quadri Aruna, number 14 in the world, in the quarter-finals, and only lost to the Chinese Ma Long, number 2 in the world, in the semi-final, ending with a historic bronze. [63]
In May 2023, Calderano went to compete in the 2023 World Table Tennis Championships. However, he had not trained for 10 days, after feeling the injury suffered in his previous competition, the WTT Champions Macau. In Macau, in the defeat to Chinese Ma Long, Calderano slipped during a point and felt pain in the hamstring muscle. Due to this, he was eliminated in the 1st round by Puerto Rican Brian Afanador, 74th in the world rankings, by 4 sets to 2, a table tennis player with whom Calderano had already played four other times, always with the Brazilian winning.[64]
In July 2023, Hugo Calderano reached the mark of 250 consecutive weeks in the world table tennis Top20.[65]

In January 2024, he was runner-up in the WTT Star Contender Goa, in India, a tournament that can be equated to a tennis Masters 1000. Calderano beat the German Dimitrij Ovtcharov, 12th in the world rankings, in the semi-final, and had previously beaten the South Korean Lim Jonghoon (18th) and the Swedish Anton Källberg (17th).[72]
At the WTT Champions (a tournament that brings together the 32 best in the world in table tennis) held in the city of Incheon, held at the end of March 2024, Calderano carried out one of the greatest campaigns of his life. In the quarter-finals, he eliminated Frenchman Felix Lebrun, 5th best in the world, who had taken the WTT Star Contender title from him in January. In the semi-final, he beat the current two-time world champion in singles, silver medalist in Tokyo 2020 and number two in the world rankings, the Chinese Fan Zhendong, by 4 sets to 2, reaching the final against another Chinese, Liang Jingkun, number 3 in the world.[73][74][75] Calderano finished runner-up in the tournament. He was the only non-Chinese to reach the semi-finals of this tournament, including the men's and women's.[76]
At the 2024 Table Tennis World Cup, now in a new format, Calderano started by winning his 2 games in the group stage by 4 sets to 0. In the round of 16, however, he was drawn to play with the world n.1, the Chinese Wang Chuqin. Calderano played a high-level game with the Chinese, where the Brazilian came out ahead, winning by 2 sets to 1. The leader of the ranking won the next 2 sets, taking the advantage by 3 sets to 2. In the sixth set, very disputed, Chuquin managed to win in a tight 13/11, reaching the quarter-finals.[77]
Playing in the biggest table tennis tournament in Brazil, the WTT Contender Rio de Janeiro, in May 2024, became champion for the first time, losing just 1 set in the entire competition.[78][79]
Participating in the WTT Champions in Chongqing, China, Calderano had another excellent campaign by reaching the semifinals of the tournament, eliminating the Olympic medalist Dimitrij Ovtcharov in the 2nd round and defeating the Chinese Liang Jingkun, number three in the world at the moment, for the first time in his career, in the quarter-finals. Having to play the quarterfinals and semifinals on the same day, he ended up being eliminated by fellow Chinese Fan Zhendong. In this tournament, Calderano was the only non-Chinese or non-Chinese descendant to reach the semifinals, both in the men's and women's singles draws.[80]
At the WTT Star Contender Ljubljana 2024, in Slovenia, Calderano reached the semifinals after defeating Swede Mattias Falck, who was runner-up in the 2019 World Championships. [81] He then defeated Cho Dae-seong, 25th in the world, and in the final, Félix Lebrun, 5th in the world (in both games, without losing sets) to obtain a Star Contender trophy for the second time, being one of the biggest titles in his career.[82]
After the title in Slovenia, Calderano secured the number 4 seed position at the Paris Olympics, and decided not to compete in the last two stages of the WTT Circuit, in Lagos, Nigeria, and Tunis, Tunisia, to rest.[83]
In July 2024, he completed 300 consecutive weeks in the top ten of the table tennis world rankings.[84]

In the second round, he eliminated Spaniard Álvaro Robles (34th in the ITTF ranking) 4–2 (7/11, 13/11, 11/9, 8/11, 11/3, 11/5). In the round of 16 he faced Frenchman Alexis Lebrun (16th in the ITTF ranking) eliminating him 4–1 (3/11, 11/5, 11/6, 11/3, 11/8). In the quarterfinals, he eliminated South Korean Jang Woo-jin (13th in the ITTF rankings) 4–0 (11/4, 11/7, 11/5, 11/6), becoming the first table tennis player from the Americas to reach an Olympic semifinal,[85] beating the previous record, achieved by himself at the 2020 Olympics. In the semifinals, Calderano played against Swede Truls Möregårdh, 26th in the world but who was runner-up in the 2021 World Championship, and who eliminated Chinese world No. 1 Wang Chuqin in the 2nd round. [86][87] In a very close match against the surprise of the competition, Calderano ended up losing 4 sets to 2 (10/12, 14/16, 11/7, 7/11, 12/10, 8/11) and went on to fight for the bronze against Félix Lebrun, where he was defeated 4 games to 0.[88] He also participated in the team competition, where Brazil equaled its best ever placing in the Olympics, reaching the quarterfinals.[89]
