At just 18 years of age, young Brazilian talent Joao Fonseca reached the final of the Masters Next Gen on Saturday in his first appearance.

The current 145th in the world has remained unbeaten so far this week, and will be the strong favorite for the title tomorrow against Learner Tien, an opponent he has already beaten in the group phase.

And thanks to this solid week, Fonseca has made history by becoming the third player after Jannik Sinner (2019) and Carlos Alcaraz (2021) to reach the final at the age of 18.

Given the subsequent progress made by both players, we can only hope that the future will be at least as promising for Joao Fonseca.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
