Novak Djokovic remains very attentive to everything that happens on the circuit and is not unaware of the emergence of Joao Fonseca in this Australian Open 2025. The Serbian was asked in a press conference about the Brazilian's performance against Rublev, and his words were telling. "I met him personally five minutes before stepping on the court and didn't hesitate to congratulate him for last night and for the results he has been achieving for a while. I have closely followed his rise and I love how he plays, especially, the crucial points. I see some of myself in his game, in that audacity with which he faces challenging situations. He definitely has everything it takes to be a protagonist of a very promising future," he concluded.
