Joao Fonseca has made a statement in his debut at the ATP Basel. The Brazilian had a challenging start to the tournament due to the negative feelings left from Brussels and facing off against the bomber Mpesthi Perricard, who was also the defending champion. However, the carioca did not back down and displayed a high level throughout to secure the victory with a score of 7-6(6), 6-3, after one hour and 28 minutes. The player from Rio de Janeiro advances to the round of 16, where he will meet Jakub Mensik.
