Show, charisma, talent, joviality... are just some of the adjectives that define Joao Fonseca, the new Brazilian talent who arrived at ATP Buenos Aires 2025 with the goal of lifting the title and is about to achieve it. He defeated Laslo Djere in just two sets (7-6 6) playing a tennis that we are gradually getting used to, very focused on power and with total versatility.

The career of Joao Fonseca looks promising. The Brazilian won the NextGen ATP Finals 2024 and established himself as a player destined to do great things on the ATP circuit. He is on the verge of the biggest title of his career in the ATP Buenos Aires 2025, playing with full support from the crowd (despite defeating 3 Argentinians along the way) and it couldn't be a better start for the new tennis sensation, as his shots penetrate the opponent's defense in a way that makes it impossible to return depending on the speed he chooses to apply, at just 18 years old, born on August 21, 2006.

- Charisma and power as main weapons

Joao started the match very seriously, knowing he was up against an experienced clay-court player like the Serbian Laslo Djere. Despite having numerous break opportunities in the first set, it ended in a tiebreak where Djere had no chance. Joao played at a different pace, and although Djere countered well, many shots were impossible to reach.

In the second set, Joao didn't falter at the chance to etch his name in the final and showed great charisma and strength to break Laslo's serve at the best moment when Laslo showed minimal concern in his demeanor, though not known for being expressive. He broke for the first time at 4-3, and just when it seemed all was done at 5-3, he succumbed to the pressure, allowing Djere to take over while Joao struggled. Losing the set 5-7, despite having a match point on serve that he failed to capitalize on by hitting a ball out.

- No regrets, with drama included

Joao Fonseca's reality was tough at the start of the third set. The Brazilian started shaking his head as his shots landed beyond the baseline. Additionally, at the 1-2 break, he needed the physiotherapist for abdominal discomfort, which after a miraculous massage, he broke Laslo's serve to love with the authority reminiscent of his best moments in the match. Despite needing medical attention again, he held his service games as if nothing was wrong and clinched a beautiful victory by winning five games in a row against a defeated Djere, who only won five points since Joao received the physiotherapist's massage.

Joao Fonseca will face either the Spanish Pedro Martínez or the Argentine Francisco Cerúndolo in the final of ATP Buenos Aires 2025, with the schedule yet to be confirmed.
