The young Brazilian, the revelation of the 2025 season, will begin his 2026 campaign in Adelaide, where he already dreams of a thunderous start.

2026 is shaping up to be the year of confirmation for Joao Fonseca. A phenomenon this season, with two ATP tour titles won (Buenos Aires and Basel) at just 18 years old and now a member of the top 30, the Brazilian will have the difficult task of repeating similar performances to confirm his status as a young hope of world tennis.

In January, Fonseca started his 2025 season away from the cameras, at the Canberra Challenger. A tournament he brilliantly won, before revealing himself in Melbourne by coming through the qualifiers and then beating Andrey Rublev in the first round.

Next year, the Rio native will play his first tournament in Adelaide, from January 12 to 17. He joins Jack Draper among the confirmed participants in the men's draw.

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.

What a finish this is.. I believe King has used his boost for today. Skelp is closing strong. Two wins and he claims 1st if I lose my last prediction.
