Federer already won over by Fonseca: "A great talent and a really nice guy"
"I'll be there when he plays": Federer has promised to attend the matches of Joao Fonseca, a star of Team World at the Laver Cup. A rare acknowledgment that speaks volumes about the Brazilian's potential.
As every year since his retirement in 2022, Roger Federer appears at the Laver Cup to promote the exhibition he founded eight years ago with his agent Tony Godsick.
For this new edition organized on American soil (in San Francisco), the Swiss was interviewed about the first participation of Joao Fonseca, 18, present in Team World:
"I met him for the first time today. I think he has great talent and is a really nice guy. You only hear positive things about him. I'll be there when he plays. I hope he will play several matches to see how good he is."
