Fonseca beats Federer's record but doesn't want to get carried away
Joao Fonseca will be playing in his first ATP Tour final at the age of 18 years and 5 months.
Although he is not the youngest player in this category, he is ahead of Roger Federer, who played his first final on the circuit at 18 years and 6 months.
Despite this, the Brazilian is keen to keep his feet on the ground and refuses to make any comparisons with the Swiss: "Everyone has their time, and just because I reached an ATP final before Federer doesn't mean I'm going to be better than him.
I want to write my own story. I'm young, I'm having fun, and I hope to write a great story.
Fonseca will face Francisco Cerundolo this Sunday in Buenos Aires, in search of his first ATP title.
