Jacob Fearnley was very close to securing victory against Joao Fonseca at Indian Wells 2025 (3-1 up in the third set), but the Brazilian once again proved to be one of the tennis players destined to make history. Aggressiveness and power are the main features of the carioca, but another aspect has surprised the British player: "What surprises me the most is his mental strength at such a young age. Obviously, there is a lot of expectation around him, but I don't think, and I believe many players his age would be bothered or let it get to their heads a bit, but it doesn't seem to be the case. He seems to play the same, to be focused in every match. That's something difficult to do because, I mean, I feel I had a similar rise, but I'm five years older than him, and he seems to handle it extremely well. I know how tough that can be," confesses the current world number 82.
