They influenced us to play. So we tried it and day-by-day we fell in love with it. It\u2019s part of our lives now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe started playing in 2015 in national tournaments in Brazil. Now we are competing in the World Championships as partners. I am happy to be competing with my brother.

He is a very good player and partner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRafael is such a great player on defence \u2013 probably the best in our age group in Brazil,\u201d Renato said. \u201cHe\u2019s more explosive than me, but he can be calmer than I am at times.
