Joao Fonseca established himself in the 2025 season, which he finished at world number 24. For him, his status changed with his victory against Andrey Rublev in Australia. He must now also face the expectations of his country.

Real enthusiasm in Brazil

For ESPN Brazil, he stated: "I started to be viewed differently after my victory against Rublev in Australia. My family told me that everything had changed in Brazil and that my popularity had also increased significantly on social media.

More and more Brazilians are becoming interested in tennis and starting to follow it; I noticed this during the last holidays, when I had a bit more free time."

Will you all be back in the new year.?
