Fonseca on his title in Buenos Aires: "I felt at home in Argentina".
Joao Fonseca won the Buenos Aires tournament on Sunday, his first career ATP Tour title at the age of 18.
At the prize-giving ceremony, he thanked the fans who had come all the way from Brazil to cheer him on:
"I want to thank all the people who came here to support me, mainly the Brazilians.
It's strange to say, but I felt at home here in Argentina. I'd like to come to the Buenos Aires tournament for many years to come.
Thanks to my team for all their hard work. Only we know what we go through every day, and we want to aim very high."
