BALLISTIC MISSILE FONSECA

[BallisticMissileFonseca]

João Fonseca is one of a kind. The shape of his groundstrokes is otherwordly.
You think the ball for sure will go out but then it lands in, like it's teleguided.

 

[GRASScaraz]

Will be lucky to have a Dimitrov like career

 

[SinneGOAT]

we get it it’s you’re username lol, he’s not going any higher than tsitsipas or any of the other “generational talent” of the last 7 years.

Fonseca will be destroying Sinner in a couple of years

Where did this phrase "generational talent" come from? It's ubiquitous now, and not even very descriptive.

It rose into prominence when people realized an entire generation could run its course without a single displaying supreme talent.

Fonseca will be Sinner and Alcaraz's nightmare in the medium term.

Banned? I left. I'm no larK(in reverse), but I'm no random poster either, I've always been something of a... rocket.

Da groovy!
Not much has changed around here; Fonseca is a pusher with a terrible backhand.

Talent wasn't their problem. If you look at Nishikori - Thiem group, you have injuries and the big 3, combined with the usual flakes.

How many matches did it take Zverev to get his first top 10 win at a slam?

Has he faced Rublev at GS ?

Has he faced Rublev at GS ?

He actually did play him here 5 years ago and beat him, but I guess he was not in the top 10 then.

I’ll be honest I’ve rarely heard it on this forum though I don’t go on GPPD much, but 2019-2021 tsitsipas, zverev, Shapo, etc were all insanely hyped and now I’m expecting to find them at some bar saying how they were this close to greatness.

don't forget Chung. The thing is Sinner and Alcaraz have said the kid will be top 20 for sure. Zev has been the disappointment. He should've had one before Med.

And that's true in Tsitsipas' case, some ways moreso and some ways less so for Zed, and not at all true for Shapo.

(I say that even though Shapo's probably my favorite of the trio)

We'll never know with Chung. His results were mixed and the chronic injuries buried him. A bit like Tommy Haas, perhaps.

His willingness to return to the court after all he's been through suggests he has more fight than the other three.

its that poly string he's using.. its magic. i am going to switch to it as soon as i find out what that is so i can hit like him

 

[Bride of Alcaraz]

Alcaraz and Fonseca are similar age it'll be the biggest rivalry eVer the best entertainment value too!

 

[ChaelAZ]

Demoted to page three in just a few days.

Sonego FTW.

Straight sets win over Etcheverry.

 

[Lavs]

Yes. Impressive

Fonseca advances to the Quarter Finals at the Argentina Open.

 

[The Green Mile]

Haven't seen an inside in forehand likes his in a long time, what a shot.

 

[GloW]

Nuclearwarheadsinner 2.0

 

[BallisticMissileFonseca]

Remember Monfils' forehand winner against Novak at the Davis Cup? Well, that's a routine forehand for Fonseca.

I don't know if you realize how lucky we are. We have the biggest forehand in recent history facing one of the greatest prodigies, Carlos and one of the best baseliners of this era, Sinner.

He needs to show his improvement by beating Navone this time

He's beaten Navone.

 

[TennisGrandpA]

Dude has insane power off both wings but he needs a better serve and brain

...and brain?!
He's freakin' 18 years old and already showing great maturity and resilience.

Watch Djokodal at 18 -19 they had tennis brain from the get go. Btw Fonseca is almost 19 and is yet to win against a great player. I hope he’s not another Stef or Z

He may not achieve any more than those two have, but he's stacked with weapons and he doesn't suffer from Z's lack of guts or Tsitsi's weak backhand.

Djoko smashing the racquet after that is the icing on the cake

He moves like Michelsen though, which is to say slightly better than Mpetshi Perricard. That could put a ceiling on him

Michelsen lol, brutal.
Fonseca’s movement may yet surpass lurch tier though.

His legs are still not there and he wins despite this deficit, reminds me in this regard of Sinner. The heft of that forehand at that tender age is more akin to Alcaraz.

In the last two-three decades only two elite players had elite speed and stamina seemingly from the go, Spaniards both.

Please let us know when you find the magic strings. I’ve been looking for them together with the shoes that make me run like Nadal, but every time I buy new gear, I end up playing just as badly.

 

[S'in-net]

Fonseca is in the Final

Interesting to note that in the first set vs Djere, from 2-3 advantage Djere; Fonseca won 20 straight points on his serve up to closing out the tiebreak 7-3...
