They saw him arrive, they prepared, but stopping it will not be so simple. Meteorite Joao Fonseca has officially impacted in the ATP world, with the first tournament won. First class 2006 to succeed, at 18 years and 179 days. A year ago the Brazilian was number 655 in the world, but everyone already knew how strong it was, even Jannik Sinner, one who pushed Fonseca to let everything be lost and focus exclusively on tennis. Said, done: now if you flow the classification Joao is already number 68, a leap of 31 positions in a week.

In Buenos Aires the Brazilian beat one really strong as Cerundolo in two sets, 6-4 7-6 (1) in the final, conquering his first ATP title. A heavy 250, the Argentine one, won by great players in the past such as Carlos Alcaraz, who succeeded in 2023, at almost 20 years old. And speaking of the Spaniard, it was since 2021 that an 18 -year -old did not win an ATP title, and it was precisely the phenomenon of Murcia who succeeds in Umago. In short, Fonseca is certainly one who is fast and is certainly an extremely early player, given that since 1990 only six players have managed to win an ATP title before Fonseca: Lleyton Hewitt (the youngest, at 16 years and 10 months), Andrei Medvedev, Kei Nishikori, Rafael Nadal, Carlos Alcaraz and Michael Chang. So strong and so promising, the Brazilian, that even the audience of Buenos Aires adopted him this week, nor in the final, despite playing against an Argentine, made him miss his support. Fonseca has once again shown all its talent, with devastating blows from all sides, incredible accelerations that fear on earth.

Cerundolo, one who two days ago had beaten the number 2 of the world Alexander Zverev, did not understand us much. The only moments where Joao Tremato were on 5-4 and 6-5 in the second set, in short when he went to serve for the match, where he lost his joke in both occasions. Fortunately, the Brazilian recovered at the tie break, where he closed the accounts by destroying Cerundolo. They had seen him arrive, he arrived, and they could be pain for everyone.
