Everyone is convinced that Joao Fonseca has a very bright future ahead of him. The young Brazilian talent has shown that he has truly remarkable potential and it would be very surprising if he does not reach the top positions of the ATP rankingwithin a few years.

Between the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025, Joao improved in all respects and the results were a natural consequence of the hard work he has done together with his team. After shocking the whole world with his victory over Andrey Rublev in the first round of the 2025 Australian Open, Fonseca lifted the first ATP title of his young career in Buenos Aires thanks to a truly sensational run for a player just 18 years old.
Everyone loves Fonseca
Many former players and insiders are convinced that he will be able to reach many higher in the ATP rankingas early as the end of the 2025 season, but some drops will be inevitable for a talent who does not yet have experience at the highest level.
In an interview with 'L'Equipe', Jaime Oncins captain of Brazil team in Davis Cup discussed Fonseca's immense potential: "He has already shocked the tennis world with his performances in recent months. Everyone is already talking about him and is convinced that he will have an amazing career, but you have to have the right patience and give him time to grow.

What he has already managed to do is really crazy, considering that he is only 18 years old. His game is already very complete and modern, he can be competitive on all surfaces. In addition, he has a tendency to raise his level in decisive moments and when facing top players. I was really impressed with his progress. I had never seen such precocity except in Rafa Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz."
After triumphing in Argentina, Joao suffered from fatigue and pressure being eliminated in the first round at the Rio Open last week.
