Joao Fonseca's 2025 has been characterized by some truly remarkable peaks and some physiological declines, if you consider that this guy has just started his professional career and needs to improve from all points of view.
The young Brazilian star has lifted two trophies this year, respectively at the Buenos Aires ATP 250 and Basel ATP 500, giving everyone a glimpse that he has the right skills to climb the ATP rankings in a short time and aspire to win the most prestigious titles in the future.
Numerous experts and insiders are convinced that the South American tennis player can really reach the same level as Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner - the two current leaders of the men's tour - but there is still time needed for him to fix all the necessary details and have his definitive consecration at the highest level.

Fonseca is predestined
Joao's season has officially ended after the Paris Masters 1000, but he will be the protagonist of an exhibition match with Carlitos Alcaraz that will be staged in Miami early next month. His goal is to be in excellent shape as early as the beginning of next year, as he has a serious chance of being seeded at the next Australian Open.
In a recent interview for the ATP website, former world No.1 and tennis legendYevgeny Kafelnikov analyzed Fonseca's rise in detail: "I think he's a player with huge potential and it will be very interesting to watch his growth next year. He has already won a couple of important tournaments, especially in Basel, where he showed a very high level. If he continues to grow like this, I'm pretty confident that he can qualify for the Nitto ATP Finals within a couple of years."
