Insane potential!! What a talent! I really hope he gets the success he deserves. Vamos Joao!!

[@vikrambansal1375]

Those who dont know Joao won the US Open 2023 junior slam and also held world no 1 ranking in juniors !!

[@ElementMithril]

@I_LOVE_THE_SUNCOAST Seyboth won a junior slam as an 18 year-old. He was beating kids, that wasn't impressive. Fonseca won a junior slam just 2 weeks after turning 17. This is how you can separate the good players from the great. Fonseca stopped playing junior events right after turning 17. Seyboth was playing junior events at 18.5 years old (the age he had when the won that title). And Fonseca already beat Seyboth in a pro challenger match btw, when Fonseca was 16. lol

[@FHslicefan]

Just great to watch him playing, clean technique.

[@MrTome1975]

I've been following his games pretty close. To reach the next level he still needs to improve his physicality (normal for a 18yo kid) and consistency. He is hitting lots of balls in the net or long after one brilliant point. He climbed more than 700 positions this year, won his first challenger title and can go toe to toe with top 80 to top 200 players. To climb that ladder is entirely up to him, whether he can add some tools, variations and game IQ or not.

[@operation2096]

That's the risk of flat hitting. They're lower percentage shots but flashy to watch

[@michelvoortman4725]

@@operation2096 He doesn't hit flat. His forehand has a huge amount of topspin. He is just a little wild.

He’ll be a top clay court player in the next few years for sure. Once he learns how to use his power on the other two surfaces he’s going to be so fun to watch. If Novak Djokovic thinks he can be one of the next big players, who am I to disagree.

He will be NO1 one day, Im sure!(I think in 2 years this can easely happen)

[@GMTennis]

i dont know, he is very tall and young, it might be too much, wish him good luck but he is far far away even from the top 50

[@Ademdjokernole]

He has the talent but he should improve himself on grass and hard courts not only on clay

[@stevie1da890]

No.1 in 2 years can easily happen? Alcaraz & Sinner will be around for a very long time. Remember them? Fonseca's a really promising player on clay but he needs a lot of improvements on grass & hard courts from what I have seen. No chance of getting near the no.1 spot.

[@matiasprieto7933]

Im very sure that maybe top5 , but realistically speaking as long as Alcaraz and Sinner are there , there's not too many chances for him to achieve that in that period of time.

[@BonJ-zl2kp]

For reference, Alcaraz and Sinner started to enter the top 100 at the same age Fonseca(#162) is now. He is not that far off and he'll definitely get to top 10/5 in his career, but his competition for the NO1 spot in a few years is huge.

No doubt its incredibly impressive shotmaking and at a glance you think 'multiple Slam winner' great movement, easy power off cleanly struck grounstrokes a serve that will get better as he gets older and stronger. You just hope his body holds up to the grind of the Tour and his love of the game doesn't fade ,if he builds on what he has, its hard to see him not be a real force going forward.
