Training at the Srsh Tennis Centre surely paid off.Beauty of a drop volley by Fonseca.
However, the hype towards Fonseca is something absurd which I hope does not become harmful for him in the long run.
And you still didn’t taste the ojo de bife.One of the best BA tournaments I have seen in all these years.
Zverev must get his act together?Clay season is gonna be real interesting. With Rafa retired, who will be the new king of clay?
I hope so. My boredom needs to come to an end.Well its gonna be an interesting year
True man, looking forward to it. Congratulations to Joao, achieving things and entertaining with superb tennis too. Great to watch.Well its gonna be an interesting year
Classic comment from someone who tries to extrapolate only part of a comment to bring grist to their mill with the aim of being pleased.Doesn't feel so absurd right now I'll be honest
No worries. Sinner would beat Fonseca easily if they played next week.Classic comment from someone who tries to extrapolate only part of a comment to bring grist to their mill with the aim of being pleased.
Genius, we're talking about a 250, he didn't win a slam.
In Brazil the expectations towards him are as if he were already ready to win important titles.
For this reason I invited calm, and to let him grow in peace in this phase of development.
On the talent and potential of Fonseca, let alone if someone like myself who for weeks has considered him the possible future alter ego of Sinneraz, has to justify himself.
Fonseca is a crazy talent, but in this phase of his development he should be left free to have the normal ups and downs of a young player, rather than immediately demanding the moon from him.
He is playing tomorrow in Rio lol
Third match on center.
OKSinner fans literally in ruins because they know at the end of the day no one gives a damn about his records. It'll be a nice graphic on sports telecast but everyone will still consider Alcaraz and Fonseca better in casual conversation.
The moment Fonseca takes over he'll be a distant memory, just another club-level pusher like a slightly better version of Ruud.
Yeah, this is good. But I think Nadal at almost 18 years and 6 months was much better.
Yep.Yeah, this is good. But I think Nadal at almost 18 years and 6 months was much better.
Yah man, kid is hopefully en route to a stellar career, hope he stays well. I think - from the ATP article- your point 3 may need revision, because Nishikori, Rafa and Carlitos were younger winners this century.In winning the 2025 Argentina Open, Fonseca becomes:
1. The 2nd player this season to win his maiden ATP title (after Alexandre Muller).
2. The 2nd Brazilian player to win the title in Buenos Aires (after Kuerten in 2001).
3. The youngest player to win an ATP title this century.
4. The 10th youngest player on the ATP tour to win a title since 1990.

Joao Fonseca makes history in Buenos Aires, wins first ATP Tour title | ATP Tour | Tennis
Joao Fonseca’s eye-catching ascent hit new heights on Sunday at the IEB+ Argentina Open in Buenos Aires, where he captured his maiden tour-level title.www.atptour.com
Regardless, its a superb achievement.
Congratulations to those who voted for Brazil's gem, Joao "Missil" Fonseca.Pretty tough draw for a 250. Alexander Zverev leads the field, with Holger Rune and Lorenzo Musetti also making the trip down to Buenos Aires.
Local favorites include Sebastian Baez and the Cerundolo brothers. Diego 'El Peque' Schwartzman comes out of retirement to take on Nicolas Jarry.
Should be fun!
Fonseca is still in the honeymoon phase. Let's see what happens when someone (or someone's coach) figures out how to play against him, and then all the other quality players on tour start adopting that same strategy.Wow. Just watched the highlights. Let's hope this kid keeps developing. Quite impressive.
Is that what you want, or what you believe will happen? Or both?Fonseca to win the French open this year
Yes, which is why I said I hope he keeps developing. You have to admit, though, that winning that tournament was a great step for the teenager.Fonseca is still in the honeymoon phase.
