Estreia de João Fonseca

A special moment in the career of João Fonseca, who was at the Grand Slams for 13 days in a row. In Brazil, when I had to qualify, I recently secured the Next Gen ATP Finals and Challenger de Canberra title.

After having had an excellent phase, Fonseca soon had an adverse experience. Andrey Rublev, current world No. 9, entered the Australian Open after exiting the ATP Finals in Hong Kong on the brink of elimination, and then followed suit as one of his favorites to win the tournament’s title.
