We are in a week where it's easy to fall into the trap of putting together these three concepts in the same text: Joao Fonseca, Gustavo Kuerten, and number 1 in the world. In some way, they are related, but they must be approached with the right distance. Unless you are a coaching legend like Larri Passos, the coach who led 'Guga' to touch the sporting sky, someone with enough authority to make a powerful statement. Pay attention to what he thinks of Fonseca in these statements collected by Tenis News.

"João is a down-to-earth guy, he has a very good mental resilience. This is what made Guga the world No. 1 and win all the titles he won. Besides the technical aspect, where he is a complete guy, he has no gaps, but it is important to develop that mental resilience to win your matches. Today's kids will see him leaving his heart on the court all the time, that is crucial. Now the key is not to change, not to deviate from the path when he loses, and to schedule correctly. I believe he can easily reach No. 1, I see the circuit much more open than in our time," said the Brazilian.
