Duda and Ana Patricia triumphed at the Beach Volleyball World Championships in Rome last month, and are seeded fifth on entry points. In 2021, Duda won Gstaad gold with Agatha Bednarczuk by her side. In the all-Brazilian final, they claimed a 2-0 (23-21, 21-18) victory over Ana Patricia and her former partner Rebecca Silva. The two newly crowned world champions joined forces for the new Olympic cycle, at the end of 2021, after previously winning the Nanjing 2014 Youth Olympic title together. They claimed their first Beach Pro Tour medal just before Rome 2022, a bronze at the Jurmala Elite16, and will be looking for their second in Gstaad.
