@Gabriel50yfi When you say "his forehand is one of the best I have ever seen" you are comparing to every tennis player in history... use your brain ffs
I think he knows his limits and when he needs to take a knee ... looking at the momentum I already saw Rublev losing after the first set (haven't seen the final score or anything) .... the thing is the russian already had his part in wins and prisez but still has huge potential left....if only he could get over one of the most important part in every sport....the psychological part....he loses it...and when he does it piles on ...if the opponent starts to win some lucky low percentage shots he goes even lower morally...
What I like about Fonseca's game is its simplicity. When he sees a gap, he just goes for it without needlessly making things more difficult than necessary. His game also looks easy and pleasing to the eye like Federer and Fognini.
@@pierdomenicosommati443I agree that overall it doesn't but the guy is only 18 so he will sharpen his skills with time. When it comes to his forehand I think it is insane how easy it looks for him to generate that much power.
Significantly more entertaining than Sinner, but also significantly more grunty and crowd-hypey. Timing and power does not a Sinner make --- reminds me much more of Alcaraz.
What a modest friendly and promising young player who is about to burst the scene! And what a great gesture by Rublev smiling him apprecestively after loss at hand shake♥️
I've been following tennis for 40 years now, but I have NEVER seen a young talent who plays the pressure points (tiebreaks!) better than Joao Fonseca! The more pressure, the better he plays. Even so, I've never seen a young player who's MORE COMPLETE. He has ALL the shots, and he has absolutely NO WEAKNESSES in his game. What a joy to watch!!!
I don't want to be a downer, but how many matches of his have ou seen? A bit premature to judge someone having seen 1 match (that is probably his best match ever) no? Wish him a great future but hold your horses people.
His dropshots are very bad! Doesn't exactly have variety yet. He isn't complete, not by a long shot! In fact, he is not really better than Sinner at the same age. Not until he proves otherwise. Which i hope he does! But let's chill a bit and see what happens...
Fonseca's tennis IQ is on another level, also very powerful strokes! I'd say future world no. 1 for sure! A Sinner vs. Alcaraz match would be epic as always, but a Sinner - Fonseca would be a banger!!!😱😱💥🎾
Tennis has a new star. We always knew about his potential, but defeating Rublev in straight sets in his first Grand Slam main draw? Unbelievable. A BIG serve and forehand, stunning shot-making, and great mentality and determination in the crucial moments. 14 consecutive victories and 22 sets won in a row. Simply outstanding.
Nothing spectacular actually, both Rublev and Tsitsipas are the most overrated players on tour. Both regressed in last 3-4 years instead of progessing.
@@Piotr_Szyba It is true that Rublev is going through a very challenging personal moment, but Fonseca’s power in his forehand, his serve, that ball speed, solidity, and determination are remarkable-especially for an 18-year-old.
Rublev did well to make the first and third set tight and not get some bakery product in the second. That first tiebreak and beginning of second set was crazy level by Fonseca. What a player, I’ve been following him for around a year and he is progressing so fast. Super excited by his game, the ground strokes are unbelievable. Good to see Rublev’a smile at the end, he knows this guy is a future champion in the making.
Фонсека по движению и ударам напоминает Синнера. Странно, что он до сих пор не в сотне🤷♂️ Я думаю, этот парень скоро будет в десятке. Он играет как топ-10, очень хорош👍
So when I saw him win next gen title I thought he had a mixture of Rune and Sinner in him, constructs volleys like Rune and maintains balance like Sinner. Early days but boy, what a talent!
You can just feel it when there is a new generational talent. Just had that feeling close to end of last season that he would take off soon, similar to Alcaraz in 2022. Saw this coming a mile away
this guy is going to be what Djokovic was to Federer + Nadal aka the third guy who is going to crash the Sinneraz party ! what a player. see you in 3 years when he lifts his 1st slam trophy.
I can imagine that he will lift a Grand Slam trophy already in 1 or two years. His forehand is absolut crazy. I like the fact that there is perhaps a third player who can win more than 1 Grand Slam. The rivalary of three players was for me a great time for tennis with a lot of interesting matches.
@@pierdomenicosommati443 true i mean it was actually a very evenly matched game, only with Fonseca playing fearless while Andrei was being tentative on the big points.
Rooting for Andrey (great to see him smiling even after defeat) but man.. this Brazilian guy it is smth! Congrats and wish him all the best in the next rounds 🎉
@@uzzymuzzy4312 This is the mistake people keep making all the time. They consider the age permanent. When they find out someone is 17, they keep saying the person is 17 even after 20 years, because they don't realize the number keeps increasing, they have that moment in time fixated in their minds forever. But seriously, he's stunning even for an 18 year old.
@@vultur311 I hope he will break through, not break up. When I saw the 18 year old Alcaraz, I immediately thought this guy will be No. 1 soon. And to me, Fonseca feels very simlar, possibly even better.
Ha solo bisogno di tempo per consolidare l'immenso potenziale a sua disposizione, poi potrà giocarsela con loro anche se secondo me già oggi gli darebbe parecchi problemi
Easy power on his groundstrokes, fast arm on his serve and he doesn't look to his team for approval, applause off every significant point or help when it gets tight he seems very complete and yet he should improve naturally as he gets older yeah I buy the theory that he is the real, real deal.
We will See. When Carlos was fonsecas age he reached the quarter final at the US Open winning against Tsitsipas (then No 3) and Cam norrie. So "never Seen anything like that" is slightly exaggerated...
@ I meant I have never seen such a dominance from a kid with a top 10; I would have said the same even if he had lost the match, it's not about the result, it's about the brute performance.
Honestly his forehand is one of the best I have ever seen, and he is only 18, what a future

machac will just crush him. a young man with talent so far he can't do anything else. alcaraz zverev and fritz will just train with him
Congrats to Fonseca. An outstanding performance. Rublev gave all he got. The level we see in this years first round is mindblowing.
The quality of tennis here is at least a 4th round match up!
It's a tough draw for both players. This might always happen when a player's actual level is way above his atp ranking.
Rublev in grandslam is the king of quarters. Good to see him smiling at the net. Amaaaazing from fonseca! Excited to see him in the next round
