Caro João, para mim és o maior enriquecimento para o ténis em décadas, para não falar de sempre! É um imenso prazer admirar as suas tacadas puras, o seu toque de bola único e o seu arsenal de tacadas incrivelmente completo. Ver-te na quadra dá-me uma alegria que não pode ser expressa por palavras. Desejo-vos uma fantástica época de 2025, continuem enganados e acima de tudo mantenham a alegria de jogar!!! Grande abraço da Bélgica, Erik.
Great footage and editing as always, thank you! Fonseca is gonna be big if he doesn't get injured, he seems to move well for a big guy and that serve and forehand? Well... gigantic!!!
@durcreusioeterno7643 when I say big guy I don't mean tall, he has a thicker build in general, like a Stan Wawrinkwa or David Nalbandian as opposed to a djokovic, medvedev or zverev.
@@soleavenger They will probably do better, and let's not forget Medvedev was robbed because of the corrupt umpire at AO22, and choked horribly in 2019, Federer also choked badly in AO2009 finals, these guys won't give baldal such an easy ride!
It was proven that Fonseca and other players like him will never go far in a GS, only in tournaments of this caliber and that's it, they are just one-day sunshine and that's it!
I don’t see these two being at the top of the game. Mental game lacks focus and grit. They make too many dumb mistakes and don’t shine under pressure. They won’t come close to the level of the current big 3.
Next gen champions before 19 : Sinner 18y2m Fonseca 18y4m Alcatraz 18y6m Win a 5th set tiebreak with a winner is the definition of a good job under pression.
@ he lost against spizziri in a tight match US Open qualifier. Spizziri is a up and coming good player but if you are the next GOAT you don’t lose to that level of player in a tight match. He lost that one cause he crumbled under the pressure. Sinner and djokovic don’t lose matches like even when they were juniors.
1. Arthur Fils, 20 - 20th in the ATP ranking, won ATP 500 titles in Hamburg and Japan. 2. Alex Michelsen, 19 - 41st in the ATP ranking. Finalist at the Hall of Fame Open and Winston-Salem Open and third round of the Australian Open. 3. Jakub Menšík, 18 - 48th in the ATP ranking. Quarterfinalist of the Shanghai Masters 1000, defeating top 10 players along the way. 4. Shang Juncheng, 19 - 50th in the ATP ranking. 5. Luca Van Assche, 20 - 60th in the ATP ranking. Next Gen ATP Finals for the second consecutive year, following a semifinal appearance in 2023. 6. Nishesh Basavareddy, 19 - 138th in the ATP ranking. Won two Challenger titles late in the year. 7. João Fonseca, 18 - 145th in the ATP ranking. Won the Lexington Challenger and reached the quarterfinals at the Rio de Janeiro ATP 500 and the Bucharest ATP 250. 8. Learner Tien, 19 - 150th in the ATP ranking. So both of them outplayed the better ranked players of their age to play this final. Current top 10 players when they were 18: Sinner was not in the top 100; Zverev was top 100; Alcaraz turned top 100 a little before he turned 18; Taylor Fritz turned top 100: Medvedev was not top 100; Casper Ruud wasn’t even top 200; Djokovic was 78th; Rubles was top 200; De Minaur was top 200; Dimitrov was top 300.
@ most of the players you mentioned with the exception of the big 3 djokovic, alcaraz and sinner have reached the top of the game. Also, what separates these 3 guys from the rest is their mental game, intelligence, and quality in the big moments. Fonseca is young and hasn’t really proven that much except that he has the physical tools to be a top player. In terms of mental game to reach the highest level of the game, he may never have that IT factor like so many other promising young guns have shown in the past. He could be another dimitrov, gasquet, berdych type of player where he is a very good player but not a contender for GOAT status.
Tien won’t. He’s a good player don’t get me wrong but he’s too small and not powerful enough. Every match he wins will be such a grind that eventually it will take its toll. 50-100 is his peak. Sort of like a Mackenzie McDonald type of player.
A bit over zealous. Break into top 50 first then stay there next year will be an achievement. The power they show here may not matter much in the ATP 500 tournaments.
@@MarkymooAndCrewAgreed. If he makes top 10 I will be shocked. At this tournament against teenagers yes and challenger but Historically no asian cracks the top 10. Just too small and not physical enough. With the exception of Nishikori. Hoeon Chung won this but where is he now. He's a big boy. Tien utilizes wide serve and move opponents around to open up the court to win points. Joao is just pure power. Punishing forehand and backhand. Huge serve. He will be in the top 50 for sure. Just need to cut down on unforced errors.

The future's bright for Fonseca.
Both will be great additions to the ATP tour!

Palavras portuguesas, mas com o coração brasileiro! Da-lhe João!!
@@fabinhodri1 Please don't try to criticize me. I am from Belgium, and though I like the Portuguese language very much, I don't speak it yet.
@@Erik83474 you said it very beautifully, my friend! “Portuguese words with a Brazilian heart”. Cheers to Belgium! Merry xmas and a happy new year!
Vivi para ver, depois de Guga, mais um tenista brasileiro determinado, confiante, com todos os golpes. Sucesso, João!
João tem muiiiiitoooo potencial. Especialmente, uma mente forte como Djoko.
Great footage and editing as always, thank you! Fonseca is gonna be big if he doesn't get injured, he seems to move well for a big guy and that serve and forehand? Well... gigantic!!!
He is not a "big guy".
1,85m seems as an adequate height for tennis.
@durcreusioeterno7643 when I say big guy I don't mean tall, he has a thicker build in general, like a Stan Wawrinkwa or David Nalbandian as opposed to a djokovic, medvedev or zverev.
@@corgeousgeorge Thank you, now I've got you!
Great highlight unlike tennis tv highlight 👏
Thank you for editing and posting it. Very appreciated
Depois de Guga não víamos um fenômeno tão forte, pra frente João. Tien também tem um grande futuro.
Future belongs fonseca. He is a giant.
That second set tiebreaker was the deciding factor. A lot of mental there
Como joga bola o nosso João! São mais de 200 milhões torcendo por você! Voa, moleque!! Você merece o mundo!!!
He would like to play like Sinner with the phisique of Alcaraz.
Your edit is way better than TennisTv
Congratulations, Joao! 🎉🏆
the level is crazy good...
Will Rafa coach Fonseca?
Existe un marcador más enredado?
Go Fonseca 🏅 future best player in brazil
💪🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Amazing player!
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
South America, Brazil
Was that Claydal just watching, he knows both of them are already better hard court players than him now!
No. Will either of these guys win 2 Australian Opens and 4 US Opens? I don’t think so.
@@soleavenger They will probably do better, and let's not forget Medvedev was robbed because of the corrupt umpire at AO22, and choked horribly in 2019, Federer also choked badly in AO2009 finals, these guys won't give baldal such an easy ride!
@@pauljohnson6019dumb statement of the yr
South America, no, Brazil..!!!!!!😉
Yes! Brazil.
South America, por que, não?
It was proven that Fonseca and other players like him will never go far in a GS, only in tournaments of this caliber and that's it, they are just one-day sunshine and that's it!
I'll be back here in 3 years.
😂 stupid

They are 18 and 19. Just initiating his career. Please, be more patient with them 😅.

Lots of stupid mistakes from both sides…no where near sinner Novak consistency
18 years old ...
You are a joke. Hating on Kids with 18 and 19 years old. Pathetic.
@ nope I’m just a realist. You are a joke who can’t stand the truth.
Both will be top10 in 1 year.... almost sure.
Lol no. Top 20 maybe
Tien won’t. He’s a good player don’t get me wrong but he’s too small and not powerful enough.
Every match he wins will be such a grind that eventually it will take its toll.
50-100 is his peak.
