Road to the Final
Sesc RJ Flamengo reaches the final after a campaign that included a solid victory over Tijuca Tênis Clube in the championship opener.

“We expect an even tougher game in their home court, but we know we are capable of putting on a much better performance than Saturday. Our group is undergoing adjustments, which is normal at the start of a season. But when a title is on the line, the desire to win is greater than anything. It’s about heart, it’s about grit, and we’re going for it.”
