One of the players who have improved the most this season is undoubtedly Joao Fonseca, who has shown that he has all the skills needed to become a huge champion. The young Brazilian star has had some ups and downs this year as is natural for a guy of his age, but he has unleashed some performances that have left both fans and insiders speechless, leading them to predict a bright future for him.
The South American tennis player who is considered by many to be the most important threat to the dominance of Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner on the men's tour won his first two career titles, respectively at the Buenos Aires ATP 250 and Basel ATP 500.
He has shown that he already knows how to handle pressure and has enormous room for improvement, as well as being accompanied by a team made up of competent people who only take care of his growth. Joao ended his season at the Paris Masters 1000 and will work very hard during the off-season, but he will also be the protagonist of an exhibition match with current world number 1 Carlitos Alcaraz in Miami in early December.

Fonseca impressed everyone
There is no doubt that Fonseca will be one of the most anticipated stars in the next edition of the Australian Open, which will start on January 18 at Melbourne Park. He became famous during the Happy Slam this year, having eliminated a veteran like Andrey Rublev thanks to a scintillating performance.
In a recent interview with 'O Globo', Alcaraz expressed some really interesting considerations about the 19-year-old Brazilian: "He seems like a special player to me. He has incredible power from the baseline, and his serve has improved dramatically in recent months. I think he can still improve in terms of mobility, but he still has a lot of time ahead of him.
The results he has achieved this year have been excellent and he has already entered the Top 25 of the ATP rankings, which is why he will have more pressure in 2026. I'm pretty confident that he can reach the Top 3 in the future."
