Fonseca is the real deal, his potential is enormous. Watched him at the challenger tour this year and last year, and the ball striking is huge for a 17 year old, in fact even for an adult player it’s just amazing. Backhand is wonderfully clean and solid, forehand is huge but not as solid as the backhand, but still his main weapon. And players normally learn to hit the ball bigger with age, just look at Sinner or Alcaraz and how their ball striking improved. Serve needs some work, but is huge already too (220+) and his defending and athleticism will improve with age too, the movement is still a little stiff but will only get better too naturally. Kids got game and incredible fundamentals and most of his weaknesses are easy to work on and will improve naturally as he grows older and more experienced. Can still get a little wild especially with the forehand, but a really bright future ahead and an exciting game style too. Despite the US open juniors win last year, I reckon clay is and probably will be his best surface in his career. Will have to hope he won’t have a late growth spurt, as his height is pretty much perfect for a great career atm and boys his age sometimes tend to grow late

[@tijgertjekonijnwordopgegeten]

In the modern game you can be up to 6'4 (or even 6'6 if you consider Medvedev) in height and still be one of the best players in the world, so a growth spurt won't hurt him.

[@alfredohedman1323]

His serve is just to ridiculous effective wooow , RogerF look alike. Very mature GAME for his age, seems he has learned and knows how to play the game very well. Im kind of liking him already, one more fan here!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@anustart-loveeachother7680]

@@tijgertjekonijnwordopgegeten yeah but it’ll mess things up short term, cause players take time adjusting to their new height and while Medvedev and Safin prove that there are very tall world n1, you’ll find that most greats of the sport are in the 6-6’3 range, and being taller than that will always yield certain disadvantages. Wouldn’t be the end of the world if he grew a little, but I think itd be for the best if he stayed this height

[@ricardofrattezi7074]

As a brazilian, I agree with you my friend. I’ve been watching him at the challenger tour as well. He is coached by an old friend. He has a very strong mentality, plays agressively, and knows how to be resilient. In addition to everything you mentioned, I Think he still needs to work on his return, but definitely the brazilian with most potencial to reach top 50 since Bellucci.

[@loganthewolverine2030]

Home court, no pressure, played loose against a 19 y.o. who didn't have the tools yet to turn around the momentum and squeeze out the 2nd set. Impressive ball striking for sure, I hope for Brazil that he can continue the baton from Guga, it's a long long road ahead.

[@gustavo299]

Brazil really needs a top 10 player! Since GUGA we hope for this day! God bless Joao Fonseca to be the new OG for Brazil! Brazil love tennis! Cheers brothers!

[@ranrabi9381]

It’s only one match against a 19 years old player, but the power he generates on both wings is incredible. Sinner like power

[@Jsatt8]

I see drawbacks with his movement and serve, but other than this his groundstrokes already look like top 20 shots. In fact, most of the top 20 don't have a consistent power backhand up the line (see Rublev) so I'm very impressed.

[@TheRafaelBond]

not Sinner lol. Amazing but not Sinner

[@DhruvPatel-vp1uq]

fils is 19 but also top 50 in the world. Fonseca needs to sharpen his shot selection but he has killer instincts and I love it

[@user-iy8tp7vw3x]

He has way more tspin on fh, and very quick bh. He is 17, I expect massive speed gain in next 2-3 seasons​@@TheRafaelBond

[@Mc-kk4fd]

Actually I was thinking that his game is similar to alcaraz’s

[@Lowsodium90]

His weight of shot and how high his top spin was jumping off the court was really impressive. I'm definitely going to watch his next match!

[@tomislavm2873]

That's what I noticed, HEAVY BALL with a lot of spin. And if he wants PACE, it's easy available. SICK

With this appearance and win he just rose 218 spots, from #655 to #437. Next wins in this tourney get him to #347, #255, #179, and #115. He'll be playing the challenger circuit most of this year, but will be interesting to see if he can rise enough to play another ATP tournament in 2024.

[@Big_Topic]

This guy is playing unreal! Top 20 level!!

I'd say higher than that. From those highlights, he looks like Sinner 2.0

They do that normally the match you bet against the other ( this case fils) and.m tomorrow when you think: wow that guy was good I’ll bet on him. Then he loses 0-6 3-6 . Same with seyboth wild etc etc . Todays tennis is crazy, any top 500 beats a top 20 and then loses against a top 1000 . The girls that multiples by 2.

This is scary! He reminds me of Sinner though. He didn't just win, he bageled Fils. It must be a shocking and humbling match for the latter. Unlike many players lying on the clay court after winning a big match, Fonseca didn't want to dirty his clothes. Smart!
