Career highlights: 

2009: Reaches the final of the World Amateur Championship before losing to Alfie Burden.

2010: Turns pro, despite that fact that he had never played on a full size table before 2009, as most tables in Brazil are only ten feet long. Reaches the final stages of the World Open in Glasgow, beating Liu Chuang and Dave Gilbert to qualify, but his match live on BBC doesn’t last long as he loses 3-0 to Mark Williams.

2015: Comes within one match of becoming the first Brazilian player to qualify for the Crucible, beating Nigel Bond and Rod Lawler, before losing to Robin Hull. Represents Brazil for the first time at the Snooker World Cup.

2017: Reaches the last 16 of a ranking event for the first time at the Welsh Open. Reaches the same stage of the Gibraltar Open.

2019: Regains a place on the pro tour by winning the Americas Championship.

2020: Reaches the last 16 of the Northern Ireland Open. Makes a career high break of 140 at the Welsh Open.
