João Fonseca played an important role in the tennis series as the first to win a Grand Slam tournament. Jamais was happy about being in the top 10 of the world athlete rankings. I had to reach a large square of Margaret Court, with a capacity of 7,500 people.

“Eu simple aproveitei o momento neste lugar incrível,” confirmed the Brazilian 18 years ago when, from his wife, he took part directly against the Russian Andrei Rublev, the new world number one, before taking first place at the Australian Open. “Quero agradecer ao publico, muitos brasileiros torcendo. Eu simplesmente aproveitei cada momento.”

Expectation of enormous talent and results in recent years, with two titles in smaller Campeonatos, or Carioca Soube Lidar with the Holofoten. In the words of Roger Federer and Boris Becker, I took our moments of difficulty personally and more calmly than the explosive Rublev, more than a year ago.

“You weren’t willing to move me, didn’t exactly squeeze my middle, jogged into a huge stadium. I wait in front of the public and jog with my Jogo. Procurement for the intensification of our important bridges. Our important bridges, you play better, you para os pontos”, declarerou.

As Margaret Court, Fonseca responded to an official interview by submitting a question at the time she questioned her talent. “Como diz o Roger”, retrucou, with a natural idea that Federer is not a single craque than he is a colleague, “Talent not determined”. “Tem que ter trabalho duro. Eu ponho trabalho duro”, acrescentou.

My friend, I wanted to say to him “one last thing” and give up the Englishman to speak with the same moment: “Aqui é Brasil! Vamo!”.
