Fonseca Sparks Madness in Brazil with His First ATP Title
He has everything to become a mass idol and has already begun to do so. The worldwide impact of the emergence of Joao Fonseca is tremendous, and Brazil was not going to stay aside from what its future tennis star is already achieving. After years of drought in terms of players aspiring to glory following Kuerten's retirement, the South American country is going to immerse itself passionately in the young Joao's career. This is evident from how the decisive stretch of the final was witnessed on the streets of Sao Paulo.
Half an hour before the Palmeiras game, hundreds of football fans gathered in the streets of Sao Paulo to watch 18-year-old Joao Fonseca win the title in Buenos Aires.
Two decades after Gustavo Kuerten, Brazil has found a new tennis hero.
