Fonseca

In 2025, João Fonseca hasn't just progressed: he's changed galaxies. Titles in Buenos Aires and Basel, winning streaks and early maturity. In one year, he has impressed the ATP tour.

But behind this sporting explosion, one man, Guilherme Teixeira, the Brazilian's coach since 2018:

"I have always been struck by his ability to adapt to any environment. He changes atmosphere very quickly. He knows he belongs there. João is a serene and calm person. Really very calm," Teixeira repeats in an interview relayed by Punto de Break.

Finally, Teixeira concludes with an analysis of his 2025 season, and does not hesitate to discuss the upcoming ones:

"When you look at the numbers... Going from 700th to 25th in the world, it's an almost frightening leap. Terrifying. But I told him: 'You have to last because we are preparing to be on the tour for the next 15 years'," he confides.

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.
