Sonego is a tough cookie to beat on clay, level of his grunting today shows that he really wanted to win that match. Impressive from Fonseca.

[@witness445]

Level of his grunting showed how much he wanted to attempt to distract and annoy his opponent. I'm glad it didn't work. Chair umpires need to have the authority to bring putting an end to those annoying loud grunts. It's ridiculous

[@gky3019]

Sonego is no longer performing as he used to, sad to see. Nevertheless Fonseca is a future champion for sure.

[@matteogreco1027]

​@@witness445 Ma li seguite i giocatori? Sonego fa sempre quei versi, è il suo modo di giocare, capra.

[@esshoul]

it is beyond certainty, that he DID NOT want to win today

[@Tenfamlearn]

This kid like Sinner, big off both wings with good spin

[@gustavomonzani8762]

@@Tenfamlearn of course is similar, but if you compare unforced errors and winners for each wing Fonseca has a way worse backhand than his incredible forehand, instead of Sinner, who has a solid and agressive backhand and his forehand has improved in the last months. I watched him alive losing for Stef in AO23 and I can definitely state that the greek's forehand was so much agressive and solid than Sinner's. In Monte-Carlo, happened the same, Stef's forehand made the difference... Fonseca in turn will always be a bombastic forehand player

[@TheSportsPROgram]

Fonseca is only 17 .....that's beyond impressive. Sonego always seems to have great sportsmanship.

[@sreejithanujan]

No wonder why Novak mentioned about Fonseca in a recent ATP interview!

Amazing, what a level of maturity of his game, at his age. Quite refreshing. On a good day, Sonego can beat most top-30 players, so standing that kind of pressure is remarkable.

Só espero que ele não siga o Alcaraz em termos de lesões! Pobre Alcaraz, parece que vai ter sua carreira um tanto quanto comprometida por conta de lesões.. eu desconfio que o problema com o Alcaraz foi uma excessiva sobrecarga precoce de trabalho físico em cima de um corpo ainda em desenvolvimento.. mera desconfiança, mas desconfio muito disso..
