Maximum expectation wherever he goes, a feeling of witnessing the birth of a star, tennis of great quality and overflowing potential. All of that is what is experienced around a Joao Fonseca who continues to make history with his triumphant precocity. At just 18 years old, reaching the third round of Wimbledon 2025 is a great success, but the Brazilian wants more.

Those who still insist on trivializing what Joao Fonseca is achieving this season would do well to reconsider their position if they have even a minimal capacity to analyze the data and perceptions surrounding the Brazilian. Seeing an 18-year-old player winning so many matches is increasingly rare, and having charisma and a spectacular game makes it even more valuable. Qualified for the third round of Wimbledon 2025, the Brazilian spoke at a press conference about various aspects of his career.

- Managing expectations and progression in recent times

"I feel that I am improving a lot. When I won the NextGen, I was ranked 150th in the world and now I am around the top 50. I think I still need to reflect on how everything is going, people know me, there are expectations placed on me, and I feel that I am evolving as a person and athlete every week. I love this life and consider it a great achievement to reach the third round of Wimbledon at my age. I believe I am improving a lot and quickly on grass," he explained.

- Which aspects of his game he has improved the most and on which he is working harder

"We have placed a lot of emphasis recently on improving my game at the net, especially on approach shots, to volley more comfortably. In any case, what I am evolving most in is the mental aspect. This is my first full year as a professional, and the mental demands on the circuit are enormous. I think what I am doing best is bringing my highest level in the most important points of the matches, understanding that I need to be more solid and not always go for winners playing along the lines," asserted the Brazilian.

- Next match in Wimbledon 2025, against Chilean Nicolas Jarry

"I respect these players who have had ups and downs throughout their careers and have always bounced back. Nico's trajectory is very inspiring. I know him well, we usually talk when we coincide in tournaments, and it's nice to see him traveling with his kids. I consider him a great player, his serve is fantastic, and he can play very well on grass. I will try to enjoy the experience of being in the third round; hopefully, I can continue to progress," commented Joao Fonseca.
