Henrique Rocha (born 6 April 2004) is a Portuguese professional tennis player. He has a career-high ATP singles ranking of world No. 149, achieved on 9 June 2025 and a doubles ranking of No. 166, achieved on 9 September 2024. ^[2] He is currently the No. 3 singles player from Portugal. ^[3]

Early career

Rocha is from Maia. ^[4] In 2018, he was training at the Centro de Alto Rendimento do Jamor, in Cruz Quebrada. ^[5] When he was 15 years-old he began training in Lisbon, at the Portuguese Tennis Federation. ^[1] He won Portuguese under-14, ^[6] and under-16 age-group titles. ^[7]

In July 2020, he became the first tennis player born in 2004 to beat a player ranked in the world top 600 when he defeated world No. 547 Tiago Cação in Figueira da Foz. ^[8]

Career

In 2023, Rocha made his ATP main draw debut after qualifying at the 2023 Estoril Open. He defeated higher ranked players Ryan Peniston, ^[9] and Máté Valkusz to reach the main draw. It was his first ATP tour qualifying event, having never previously even qualified for a Challenger tournament in 12 attempts. ^{[10] [11] [12]} That year, Rocha began being coached by Portuguese former ATP player Pedro Sousa. ^[1]

Rocha won his maiden Challenger title at the 2024 Murcia Open defeating Nikoloz Basilashvili in the final. He became the fifth player born in 2004 to accomplish the milestone after Luca Van Assche, Arthur Fils, Alex Michelsen and Gonzalo Bueno. As a result he moved more than 50 positions up in the rankings reaching the top 200 at world No. 197 on 1 April 2024. ^[13] He also received a wildcard for the main draw at the 2024 Estoril Open. ^[14]

Ranked No. 195, Rocha made his Grand Slam main draw debut at the 2025 French Open as a qualifier and recorded his first major win over fellow qualifier Nikoloz Basilashvili in five sets. He became only the fifth Portuguese man to win a singles match at Roland Garros. ^[15] Rocha reached a major third round for the first time in his career with an upset over 19th seed Jakub Menšík in five sets. ^{[16] [17]}

Having entered qualifying for the 2026 Australian Open, he defeated João Lucas Reis da Silva, before losing to Argentine Marco Trungelliti in the second qualification round. ^{[18] [19]}
