The potential is there for this to be an epic in the same vein as this one:The one thing Rublev can say is that the conditions of the AO favor him. He has made the QF 3 of the last 4 years. But that doesn’t mean he had a 75% of making the QF.
Also won a tiebreak. Rublev was actually mad at Fonseca because he was hitting the ball too hardRublev and Fonseca have played a set in the 2023 atp finals. Fonseca was invited to trian with the players. Fonseca actually won 6-3. It's going to be an interesting match.
Rublev about to enter a tailspin. You heard it here first.
Best case scenario. Not a single russian will be inside top 10. However i am afraid my wish wont be fulfilled cause Medvedev is still a force to be reckoned with on hard and Rublev is solid both on hc and clayThis year rublev too shall drop off top 10 finally.
Medvedev is amazing. I hope he stays inBest case scenario. Not a single russian will be inside top 10. However i am afraid my wish wont be fulfilled cause Medvedev is still a force to be reckoned with on hard and Rublev is solid both on hc and clay
Went about how I thought it would.I think this style matchup heavily favors Fonseca.
Fonseca is a better, bigger, stronger, faster, smarter, younger, version of Rublev.
Absolutely awesome Joao performance. Rublev didn't even have much of a chance to get angry on himself.
I have zero empathy for any russiansMedvedev is amazing. I hope he stays in
The deranged rublev though, no empathy at all.
Absolutely awesome Joao performance. Rublev didn't even have much of a chance to get angry on himself.
or Jo-WOWedRublev was FONSECAZED.![]()
As a native speaker this does not relate well as the pronounciation is quite different. See below.or Jo-WOWed
Let's see if Fonseca is ready for the big stage. I think his current game and skill is enough to beat Rublos right now. We'll see if the guy is the real deal.

Podemos dizer que nasceu uma estrela.I'm Brazilian, from Rio, and I'm really rooting for João Fonseca's victory. Although I consider Rublev the favorite for this match.

Lmao. Imagine inviting (or paying?) a 17 year old player to play as your sparring, and then losing to him and complain that he's hitting to fast.Not an article, but the the report of an ESPN Brazil commentator who was personally in Turin that year (in portuguese, captions unavailable at least for me):
Played 3 tiebreaks with Alcaraz there as well — won 2.Lmao. Imagine inviting (or paying?) a 17 year old player to play as your sparring, and then losing to him and complain that he's hitting to fast.
