Guilherme, the younger brother of former ATP World No. 1 Gustavo Kuerten, died on Wednesday. The 28-year-old, who suffered from cerebral palsy, died at the University Hospital in Florianopolis accompanied by his brothers Gustavo and Rafael and his mother Alice.

Despite his health problems, Guilherme travelled the world with three-time former Roland Garros champion Gustavo.

"Gui was a fighter, since the day he was born. Many years ago there was a lot of prejudice against people with special needs like him and I am sure he broke barriers and helped it to be diminished," said Guga about his younger brother, to whom he dedicated all of his trophies.

The 31-year-old Kuerten was slowed by a continuing hip problem, which limited him to only nine ATP level matches (2-7) this season.
