by ATP Staff
|02.12.2009
Former World No. 1 Gustavo Kuerten of Brazil is to receive the Cruz do Mérito Desportivo (Cross of Sporting Merit), the highest honour a Brazilian athlete can receive.
The 33-year-old Kuerten, who retired from the ATP World Tour at Roland Garros in 2008, will receive the medal from Brazilian President Lula Da Silva and sports minister Orlando Silva in a ceremony that will take place on Wednesday, 9th December at the Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil.
It is the second time that Kuerten will receive the award, which is divided into two honours. The three-time Roland Garros champion first received the medal in 2004, when he returned from representing Brazil at the Olympic Games in Athens.
