An 18-year-old new generation playerFonseca, completed a thrilling comeback, saved two match points, and defeated local player Navone 3-6, 6-4, 7-5, becoming the youngest Brazilian semi-finalist in the Open era.
On Friday, at the Argentine Open,Joao FonsecaIt fully demonstrated the tenacious fighting spirit.
The 18-year-old Brazilian battled hard in three sets to win 3-6, 6-4, 7-5 over the local favouriteMariano Navone, reaching the semi-finals at tour level for the first time. Fonseca bounced back from break down twice in the second set and saved two match points late in the third set to claim an epic victory in front of a raucous crowd in Buenos Aires in two hours and 53 minutes.
Fonseca calmly and calmly in the unfavorable situation. He has a young face, but he is very experienced in dealing with difficult situations in the Circle.
Fonseca Says:
"That's what we're fighting for. I wasn't in the best shape today, but I fought until the end. I'm tired...... From the very beginning, I believed I could win, even if I didn't play at my best, but I kept fighting and now I'm in the semi-finals, which feels fantastic. It wasn't easy against Mariano, but I'm very happy with the fighting spirit I showed today. ”
Fonseca is the youngest since Carlos Alcaraz won the title at Umag in 2021Clay semifinalsPlayer.
The 18-year-old Fonseca qualified for the ATP 250 event in Buenos Aires through the Next Generation Crash Program, which was expanded this year to allow players aged 20 and under who are ranked within the top 250 to earn one ATP 250 main draw and two ATP 250 qualifiers this season.
Fonseca's next opponent will be the qualifiersLaszló Gere。 Djere defeated Wilder 7-6(3)/6-3 to advance to the semifinals and return to the top 100 in the ATP rankings, moving up to No. 98 in the ATP instant rankings. The two break points faced in the match were all cleared.
Jerry Says:
"The week has been fantastic for me so far, I'm very happy with my performance and the result. Winning five games so far will boost my confidence a lot, so I'm very happy. ”
Compared to the 18-year-old Fonseca, the 29-year-old Jeret has more mature and rich experience in the field. But what is puzzling is that after watching a few Fonseca games, this "kid brother" has a very big demeanor in the game. There is that kind of calmness of "Mount Tai is pressed on the top without collapsing". The temperament he shows is different from that of several outstanding post-00 players, Sinner, Alcaraz, and Rune.
At the age of 18, Sinner was calm and calm. Alcaraz is confident, but he can also be a little nervous when it comes to pinch. Rune's performance in the face of danger is brave, and the more frustrated he gets, the stronger he gets. And Fonseca's main temperament is calm.
Waves of newcomers have emerged, making the tennis world colorful. I believe that there will always be someone who fills the gap left by the fans' vision after the retirement of the giants.
Fans and fans are different. What do you think is the difference? [smiles] [smiles]
