Stephanie Martins and Marcelo Suartz went undefeated in single-elimination match play to win the titles in the 27th QubicaAMF Brazil Bowling Cup en route to earn their tickets to the 54th QubicaAMF Bowling World Cup in Las Vegas, Nevada, later this year.

Suartz (left), who made his World Cup debut 2007 in St. Petersburgh, Russia, and participated last time 2010 in Toulon, France, came back from a 0-1 deficit (202-218) with back-to-back wins (227-210, 227-204) to defeat Daniel Murta for the men’s title, two-games-to-one.

In the semi-final matches, Suartz eliminated William Hideki and Murta ousted defending champion Renan Zoghaib, who represented Brazil in three out of the last four World Cups (2014, 2016 and 2017), both 2-1. In roll-off for third and fourth and 4th place, Hideki defeated Zoghaib, 2-1.

On the women’s side, defending champion Stephanie Martins (right) earned the no. 1 seed for the match play finals and swept all her opponents, including Léa Castro in the title match (243-148, 206-157).

Martins will make the third appearance and her second in Las Vegas after 2015 and 2017 (Hermosillo, Mexico). Castro had to settle for second place for the second consecutive year. In roll-off for third and fourth place, Maria Diniz topped Lúcia Vieira, 2-1.

The 27th QubicaAMF Bowling Brazil Cup drew 66 players from all over Brazil, 42 men and 24 women.

The winners will represent their Brazil at the 54th QubicaAMF Bowling World Cup, which will be held at Sam’s Town Bowling Center in Las Vegas, Nev., USA, November 5-11, 2018.
